The main rules are: 1.- Played with computers as interface, an empty board displayed in each screen. 2.- After a move, the move appears in both screens during a lapse of time, usually one second, and the move dissapears on boths screens and the adversary`s clock is activated. 3.- The computer does not allow illegal moves, it is programmed to avoid illegal moves. 4.- Total time is 25 minutes, plus 20 seconds added in each move for the player which makes the move. 5.- You can`t ask for the entire position, but it is allowed ask the arbiters about a punctual position: ('Is my Queen in e2?'), only during the current time the clock is running for the player who asks. The only answers the arbiters can give are : 'Yes' or 'No'. The maximum number of questions is usually stablished previously. If it is a Tournament, the rules are stablished by the organizers. I`m not enterely sure, but I think in Amber only one question is allowed in each move, you can`t ask the arbiters twice during one of your turns.
