Does anyone know of other game sites that use Fischer clock or similar time controls as Bk offers?

Marshmud: Pretty much all of the dedicated chess sites do. And plenty apps available for your phone too. Haven't seen any with the bonus system though.

I think you have a challenge on your hands though. Online turned based games have evolved considerably. Whilst I do like this site, it is a dinosaur, played by dinosaurs.

Look at http://www.kongregate.com/ or some of the turn based games available for phones and tablets.

Marshmud: Goldtoken uses SOMETHING like it. Not exactly the same. Not as good probably. But it's something to help some games from "going on forever" for those who want that. I haven't used it much over there, so maybe it's more similar than I think. They also have tournaments with a "total length" too. (Their "Olympics" for example)

Marshmud: IYT uses "green dot" time controls for tournaments; I am not sure what they use for other games since the only games I play there are tournament games.

(i.e. they use fischer clock with fixed weekend).

happyjuggler0: I know IYT has 28 and 48 hour tournys you can sign up for and weekends your given 48 extra hours but I guess I mean a site where you can set your own limits and your own game perimeters.
