Suggestion: Custom time controls to even out games

[Vito_Durum]

I have a suggestion for a future update concerning time controls. I think it would be great to have the possibility to create a custom time control in 2 player OTB mode with different settings for each player, because I see this as a great way to even out games between opponents of different strength. For example, the weaker player could get 15+10 or more time and the stronger player 5+5 or even less, so he would be more prone to commit blunders. What do you think?

Jeff touched on this here.

Touch move rule

I would like to see an addition to the hint level settings. Would it be possible to implement the touch move rule? As soon as you touch a piece that could make a legal move, you have to move that piece. No other pieces are allowed to move. Just like in real OTB chess. In addition the hint level should stay in place, so when you touch a piece, you get the setup hints for that piece, but you cannot move another piece.

What do you think?

Yes - This is “time odds” setup and we will be adding that.
