Time controls for tournaments

[peterhughes]

What time control modes do I need to be able to support for entering the common tournaments associated with the Winboard forum?

Firstly, there's the ones in the WinBoard specification, then there's also a "repeating" option in Arena that I'm not familiar with...

Can anyone shed some more light on the significant modes that I need to be concerned with?

Thanks

You need only implement the time controls given by two winboard commands:
(a) st
(b) level
Also implement these commands:
(a)time
(b)otime

The repeating time controls will be handled by the GUI itself, with the help of time and otime winboard commands.

Best regards,

Thanks for that info.
