[Request] Possibility to deduct time.

There is already blindfold chess. It's a good possibility to train your memory.
But there could be also possibility to deduct own time. So If I play 1+0 and I want in some moment to leave only 30 seconds for myself against one minute I could deduct 30 seconds from my time (by also clicking -15 two times), so it would be a nice challenge.

Yes, it will be very nice to have possibility to deduct time. Great idea.
Sometimes you can't find strong enough opponent here, and have to play with 500-600 points weaker player. It usually too easy game, not so interesting.
You can just play crap moves in the opening to make game harder, or waste some time on your clock. But waiting your clock in every game is boring. Having the button to deduct your own time will help a lot.
I'd like to see (unrated) time odds games / arenas, where lichess decides how much time each player starts with. Here are some factors which could influence time odds:
* color draw
* head-to-head win/draw/loss record
* arena total score
* rating and RD -- calculate odds of victory and adjust time odds to balance game
