Isn't it automatic to add 15 days after 50 moves ?
In my game: g1104920121 .... after 60 moves, I just have 0 days, 15 hours.

adding extra time
Why would you possibly want to add extra time just because the game reaches a certain number of moves?? When a player signs up for a game and/or match he or she agrees to play by the time constraints created for that game. By using a Fischer clock for the moves, Net-Chess seems to be far more generous than many similar sites in that it seems that most players "rush" through the first 8 or 10 moves to accumulate a considerable amount of extra time to be allocated later in the game. Although it is fair to add time to both players, that would seem in a way to penalize the individual who has used his time frugally, adding an arbitrary amount, such as 15 days, even if the time constraints on the original game were much lower (eg.: a 3 day +1 day clock). Just as in the way an experienced OTB player will intelligently manage his allotted time on the game clock, should not the players of correspondence chess be intelligent enough to manage theirs?
