************* CORR ************
Time left: 3 moves in 35 days
Single Move: 5 of 10 days
Last Move: Thu, 2 Feb 15:05 UTC
 
 
I would like someone to explain the above.
 
I don't understand "5 of 10 days"
 
This is why I do not enjoy corr. It takes a long time to finish. This tournament started 1-5-12 and still isn't over for me. I can't resign out of boredom because it has to be my move first. I waited for a MONTH to do that and another game ended with opponent forfeit.

Re: ************* CORR ************
There are two time controls in corr game.
There is the standard control of 20 moves in 30 days.
In addition, you must also make at least 1 move every 10 days or the game will be forfeit.
So;Single Move: 5 of 10 days means that you have 5 days left to make a single move.
Once you have made a single move, you will have 10 more days to make your next single move.
