In Intense Chess on October 12, 2019, the players each start with 1 minute, but have a 10 second delay per move. Here, Mike Kummer and Tracee Stewart compete in a demonstration game.
That 10 seconds acts like a shot clock, making the game play out more like a tennis match, which is exciting for spectators.
