The Garden Gate Tournament Matches Discussion

What you're thinking of skud is a count up, with bonus time per turn. A delay is, for example, 5 seconds per turn where the clock is paused, instead of adding five seconds to the timer. The difference is important because in count up a bunch of quick moves may add up to give you an extra minute or two by the end, while delay doesn't carry over to the next turn, its only for that one turn you get the time. Chess can use either, but as far as competition I've only ever seen delay used.
