Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a game? Tap either player's clock to begin. The tapped player's clock starts counting down.
How do I switch turns? Tap your side of the screen after making your move. Your clock pauses and your opponent's clock starts. Fischer increment (if enabled) is added automatically.
How do I change the time control? Tap the time control name (e.g., “Blitz 5+0”) in the center bar when the game is idle. Choose from presets or set a custom time.
