Hi!

a short but complete explanation of the "Bronstein" clock:

The Bronstein clock consists of three clocks. One is the "game clock", always running.
The other two are the "players clocks". There are three different timing options, lets choose 50/12/4 for an example.

Each player gets 12 minutes for his/her moves. The first 4 seconds are free, meaning if you move within 4 seconds, your clock will not start running. If you take more than 4 seconds, your player clock will start running. If a player clock reaches zero, this player looses.

If the game clock reaches zero, the game will be a draw.

Very simple, used in official stratego tournaments as the world championchips.

One special situation can occur: A player has more time left on his clock than is remaining on the game clock, e.g. i got 10 minutes left but the game would be over in 8 minutes. This gives me the possibility to just wait until the game is a draw. This is legal.

The longer you think about a move, the stronger you can be. The Bronstein clock just tries to give both the same chances (the same time) to think about moves. Usually you wont take more than a few seconds per move but you also can take some more time for some tricky moves.
The game clock just forces you to beat your opponent within a given time. If you can't, the game is considered a draw.

The Bronstein clock was added here because some players take the full 15 minutes until timeout to make even simple moves if they are in loosing position. Very unfair. With Bronstein clock enabled, no player can do so without loosing.

The only other "special" rule is the 15 minutes timeout. If you take 15 minutes for a move or if you got disconnected and do not return AND move within 15 minutes, your opponent will automatically win.

I will take a look at your game and decide what to do.
