What is the essence of the dispute? I see that a fairly reasonable chess timer option is being rejected, which, as I understand it, many players would like to see. Personally, I would be interested in playing with a chess clock; I think it would be quite convenient for me. Nobody is saying that the SoD timer is bad, but why not have an alternative?

Forgive me, of course, but did you read the posts with your eyes closed? In the form in which the chess timer is currently presented (in the BT example), it is unacceptable for the game as a whole, because strategic battles are punished by time, although in essence they should be encouraged. There should be no countdown in battles, so it is easier to set any time in the SoD timer. If there were a chess timer with time stopping in battles — in my opinion, that would be the most optimal and liberal solution for everyone.
