After a player moves using mouse or keyboard, the move appears on both screens instantaneously during fractions of seconds. Then the opponent's clock starts and the move disappears from the screens. Moves are transmitted to monitors hidden from the players where the arbiter and spectators can follow the game. Total time is 25 minutes, plus 20 seconds added in each move per player. And about the use of the virtual board for analysis, it is not estrictly forbidden, but it seems inutile, it is a blind analysis with only an empty board in front of the player.
