In this game my timer seems to not reset multiple times and i had to play multiple stones until it recovered, finally i lost by timeout shortly after putting my stone. Is it possible that the timer will not reset when the opponent answers to fast?
What could be the reason?
Regards Michael
Did you notice the game was with Canadian byo-yomi? Did the timer restart after 5 stones as expected or after more than 5 stones?
What the heck is Canadian byoyomi??
Honestly, I didn’t know this variant and yes, didn’t track it but could have been after 5 stones.
So, this can be considered resolved and I have to be more careful when selecting games
The game was “Clock starts with 4 minutes main time, followed by 45 seconds per 5 stones”, meaning that once you spent the first 4 minutes, you have to play the next 5 stones in less than 45 seconds, then the next 5 stones in less than 45 seconds, etc.
That time setting is popular on the IGS server, and is often used in tournaments with mechanical clocks, but more rarely used elsewhere.
