How can I play online chess with limited time per move instead of time per player for the game?

    You could go to lichess.org and create your own time controls. They let you stipulate an initial time and an increment.

    For example you could have a game with a 30 second time for each player and then add 15 seconds for each move after that.

    I believe the time would be banked for each move rather than a hard fixed limit for each move.

    You could then create a custom game open to others, or make the game available by link to a friend.

    The closest match that comes to mind would let your players bank the time they don’t use. Using an n+5 configuration. The software cutechess may be capable of it but it’s not online.

    But what bugs me is it would be a goofy way to play as different positions can demand more thought than others.

    You would probably need to make your own custom rule set and host it yourself or do a regular game on something like lichess and enforce the time constraints outside of the platform.
