Yes. I was going to answer you earlier, but I wasn't sure exactly what you were asking. The first number is the number of minutes you start with, the second is how many seconds get added to what's left after each move. I usually do 5/0 or similar, that way I know exactly how much time I have.

im getting practise. may i suggest a 20 minute game with 60sec increments. the fast opening moves creates more time on the clock without waiting too long for a result. this is a standard blitz game. very enjoyable.
