Setting Time Control in Game Analysis

Sort:

What is the format supposed to be for time format when entering games into the analysis function? I'm trying to enter a 25 minute game with 5 second delay, and when I type in the "2" it just puts in 2 sec.

I used the Analysis function on the sidebar to manually enter an over the board game

Going to the analysis function (https://www.chess.com/analysis) and entering game details, if you type a number into the Time Control, it will automatically populate "sec" as if it's hyperbullet. I want to make this a 25 minute game 10 second delay

I don't know if you got an answer but I found a work around that seems to do the job for me. In my case I was trying to input a 80+15 game but the time control box would instantly say "8 sec" when I typed the 8 and didn't allow any further changes.

So instead, I typed "80+15" into another box, copied and pasted it into the time control one, and it automatically changed it to "1:20|15".

Well, the same issue here.

It would be very helpful if chess.com provided list of available formats instead of auto-filing of nonsense.

same issue, except a list of options may not work so well, as some events have more and more complicated/different time controls.

The issue is still there. The first number typed in the Time Control field is converted to "N sec".

BLTheory's workaround gets it done, but I'm finding it silly to have to type "600+5" in another box, and copy and paste for the Time Control field to automatically change it to "10 | 5".

No need for a predetermined list of time controls, instead please simply set the Time Control field to free form, as is the case for Event and Location.
