DISCUSSIONS on “Rules for online games in HoMM3 and formulas for calculating player rating.”

Let me remind you that a chess timer has 3 parameters (Start, Turn, Battle):
Start - the initial time given at the beginning of the game.
Turn - the time allotted for each turn. If you spend more time on a turn, the excess time is deducted from the Start time. Conversely, saved time is added to the Start time.
Battle - the time for EACH battle. If you exceed this time in any battle, time is deducted from the first parameter, Start. The reverse does not apply (i.e., if you complete a battle much faster than the allotted time, the excess time is simply lost).
