what happens if i set up a game with 90 d/all game control and the game is not yet done by the 90th day?
thanks

It doesn't work like that. Each player has 90 days of thinking time for the whole game. If your time is up first, then your opponent can claim the game. With such game you know that it can last at most 180 days (if none of the players take vacation).

sorry for being repetitious, but can i clarify? when you say 90 d/all, it means that all my moves must be made in 90 days, right? so let's say me and my opponent make one move each a day and i am playing white, i get to reach 90th day earlier (by one day) than him? in that case, if th game is not yet over, he gets to claim the win?
thanks again

no, after you move, his clock is going and yours is not. Its just like a time control in a tournament. You move, you push your button, his time starts, he moves, pushes his button, your time resumes, so on. The difference is that instead of 2 hours each, you have 90 days each. Hope that helps.

Yes, that's correct. I made the same mistake until realize that if white spends one hour for each move and black takes one day for each move, after the fifith move (on the fifith day) white will have 89d19h remaining and black will have 85d0h remaining. It's like any chess clock, your time freezes when it's your opponent turn.

oh i get it now. i think this time frame reflects the tournament mode of time controls more than the others. i had not played timed OTB games before, so i would like to ask: can you also claim a win on OTB if your opponent's time ran out?
thanks again for all of your help
