My doubt is ,as you explained ,how much time to spend on the main time ? If I decided to make only few moves searched deeply during that time, then most of the moves will be made in byo-yomi period with no chance to recover from it. For instance, for a fisher time control that I am familiar with, a player can get into time trouble and recover from it by making some quick moves. That is what I meant by accumulating time. But in this case,It seems clocks are reset after the the byo yomi stones are placed ? Other than that it sounds pretty much like the fisher time control I guess.
