3.4 Blitz Levels

The levels in the D file of squares are the Blitz levels. If you wish to play speed chess, or
"instant death", you can select from a range of times which are allowed for the game to be
completed. You may choose between a 5 minute "pressure cooker" of a game to a more
1
relaxed 1 / hours. When you select one of these squares, the display will alternate every
2
second between the name of the square you have selected, and the corresponding time limit
for the game.

3.5 Bronstein Levels
By selecting a square from E1 to E4 on the chess board, you can select a time limit for the
game following the Bronstein system. A basic time is selected for the game, and an increment
of a few seconds is then added to that time every time a move is made. The increment is
either the free time shown in the table below, or the actual time taken to move, whichever is
shorter. Your choice is shown in the table. When you choose one of these levels, the display
cycles through three different pieces of information, each of which is shown for 1 second. For
example, if you chose E2 you would see:
• The selected square
• The base time in minutes
• The free time in seconds
