I don't understand why this for several years now established time control is
not implemented in Rebel yet. I don't think this is a minority request and I
also don't understand why you haven't implemented that time control even when
you went to championships. Instead you used some workaround like 3min/move
average or so. Sometimes programmer's decisions look strange for users.

However, does Rebel at least handle the current FIDE time control which is 90
minutes per game plus 30sec bonus for each move IIRC?
