As the clocks in the UK went forward an hour at midnight last night (00:00 30th March) but the RHP chess server hasn’t changed, does this mean UK members should move their time back one hour?
The time settings in my profile state:
Your UTC offset +1 (I haven’t changed that)
Your current time 30 Mar 25 11:10
The current date and time on the 'Red Hot Pawn Chess' server is 30 Mar 25 10:10

@diver saidYes. You'll need to do it manually.

@The-only-Mr-T saidRHP always uses GMT but I always change my clock to reflect UK time which is now GMT +1.

It doesn't affect time since last move/time remaining etc
@diver saidOf course there can't be leaps in the timimg of games.

So no "daylight saving time" for the chess clock.
RHP time is a constant and your local time can vary as much as it wants to.
