In Response To: Question about Bronstein clock setting (rew)

It depends on the clock design. On clocks that start counting down immediately, we always start the clock with the bank time + free time per move on the clock. If the clock has a separate bank timer that only starts counting down after your free move time has expired, you wouldn't have to do that. For the players it is important to check what type of clock they are playing with. I've seen a match lost because of a misunderstanding of the countdown principle.
