How do you play a timed game against the computer? (10 minutes for example)

I can't seem to find any options for this when I select the option to play against the computer. Does it not exist?

I appreciate the response, but there doesn't appear to be any "dialog" section in the play computer option.

 

 

Only settings, and clicking on that only gives the following options:

 

and then the other settings option only has this:

Unless this is a feature only given to premium members, of course.

I did find a way for time if you play one of the bots in a created game, but otherwise nothing.

1.Go to " live chess", ( the top one, not vs computer directly)

 

2. choose your time

3. choose vs computer

Ah, it apparently is just in beta right now but it should eventually make it to the main site:

Thanks for the posts. I did actually find that you can play the various computer bots with a timer. Only downside is that they generally make their move instantly, so it doesn't quite simulate the timed aspect versus a human. But that's probably a good thing, since it puts a little more pressure on you to think quickly.
