1 minute per move

Make it possible to set "1 minute per move", please!
it is possible, just put for your time setting: 0+60
I know what u are asking but I did not know that type of chess existed, I always thought time was a resource, that u could spend plenty of minutes in one move and almost zero in another, I like the idea though.
I'm familiar with this type, though I can't place the name at the moment. Each player is allowed a certain amount of time per move, instead of a single clock to for the entire game.
I think this type of time control would be a good addition to the site.
I believe vasfed12 is correct (though I have not checked). It's a viable time control, even by FIDE standards. It's just less popular than y time for x-moves and various increments, etc. but it's perfectly acceptable even in their rules.

As for would it make a good addition to the site? I think so. The more time control variants the merrier, I say!
Think of it like a stopwatch. You hit the stop watch when you make the move. x minutes tick down. The opponent makes their move, it's reset back to x and once against x minutes tick down. If it ever reaches 0, it beeps and you lose. I think in some regard it's the toughest clock because you can never bank time in the opening for a critical position later. That critical position you will have the same amount of time as any other move. It's rough, and exciting to watch because of that sense of time pressure on every move. I'm sure the bullet-head adrenaline junkies might enjoy something like that. They'd probably love a 3s/move clock variant. hahaha
Sounds crazy, would definitely try it if it was available...
Colleagues, what I mean? 1 minute per move means that the player must make a move within 1 minute, otherwise he loses. When he makes a move, for example, 5, 15 or 30 seconds, it means that the next time he will have to make his move again for 1 minute. Here I am about. Understand?
