Definition

Bronstein Timing is the time system where

  • one gets an amount of time (say, 10 minutes),
  • time used for each move is deducted,
  • and an extra amount of time (say, 15 seconds) is added after each move
    -- but at most the time used for the last move.

Remarks

The "but" part is the difference to Fischer Timing:

  • there, remaining time can grow
  • here, not

This system is spilling.


Example

10 minutes plus 30 seconds bonus.
