I don't know if it is me, or if it happens to others too, but I confess: I don't catch nothing at all in the explanations of Time Controls. It is not a problem of English, I'm used to read complex scientific stuff in English. Maybe it is because I never played chess in official competitions and I'm lacking some notions.

I wanted to put a time limit because I've been frustrated in some recent games to see opponents stopping to play after being in a difficult situation. Doing so, they never loose. An unfair behaviour certainly, I wanted to avoid this.

So I set a time limit but frankly I don't understand at all what I have selected and the effect it may have. I just guess there is a limit somehow.
