Suggestion - add hourglass timer option.

If you have never played hourglass chess before you are in for a treat. We used to play it at my old chess club and honestly, it is a way more interesting, intense way to play.

You set up the hourglass to be a minute or two, then play. It really adds to the feel of chess being a balancing act. It allows for fast moves to be used as a weapon.

I could go on, but really, it is something you have to try. A simple addition like this could go a long way for this site.
Also, it reinforces the notion that one player is winning by the same amount that the opponent is losing. Very zen :P
Thanks for linking me. Sad to see it's been on others minds also for some time, without implementation yet. I had a long search and cannot find any site that has this feature, which is strange.

I like lichess' board and community alot, so i'm hoping it gets implemented here to add more to an already great site.

It seems the coding effort to payoff ratio would be high.
oh took a bit to spot that 1 min hg option thanks heaps
