Yeah, it's 5 minutes and then after every move you gain 3 seconds.
The time is always for the whole game. Since each player has a clock, and since a clock only counts down when it's that player's turn to move, a 5|0 game can last a maximum of 10 minutes.
Yeah, fast games can be fun.
Starting out with something like 30|0 is good I think. Bullet games are just silly

So for example, I understand that a
5|3 game
means 5 minutes with 3 added seconds?
My question here is whether that’s 5 minutes to make a move or 5 minutes to play the whole game?
Thanks to anyone who responds!!
