Bronstein Mode:

With the Bronstein timing method, time is always added after. This means
that the free time for each move (y) will be added to your clock as soon as
you have made your move and pressed the Time Control Button ie, after
you have made a move. However, , you cannot gain maximum free time (x) (ie, because y is less than or equal to x):
Suppose that (x) = 10 seconds (maximum free time):
Player A thinks, makes a move and presses the Time Control Button in 5
seconds. Only 5 seconds is added to player A's countdown clock after the
move has been made.
OR
Player A thinks, makes a move and presses the top button in 10 seconds
or more. Only 10 seconds is added to player A's countdown clock after the
move has been made.
