Before the invention of the chess clock, a game of chess was a serious time commitment. Official matches would last on average between 8 and 9 hours, and in 1843, Eventually players realized the need for time limits to be established, and chess timers and clocks were invented.
Smart chess clocks are used to limit the total time of every chess game, so that there is no need to end up spending days finishing chess games. With a chess clock, players have a set amount of time for all their moves they make. This encourages them to think quickly and make strategic decisions, as they know they don't have time to waste. Additionally, it prevents players from taking too long to think, which can help speed up the game and reduce the amount of time it takes to finish.
today, players usually use digital chess clocks, which means that they must move their own pieces before pressing the counter button to complete their turn.

2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
In order to make the chess digital clock with smart input so players don't need to push the button after they have already moved their pieces, it is supposed to create a relationship between the chess clock and the board, whereby the board will detect any movement whatever where is it by special sensor and send the signal to the smart clock to change the role.

4- Describe the Technical Modules that your project consists of
Construction Parts
my chess clock and board will be designed as 2.5 D by using laser cutting machine, i divided it to two components to let the clock part to be portable so easy to get it in your bag and play out side and still you can fixed it with board by joints.
Input
(Sensing, Tactile Input, and/or Graphical Input)
it will takes input from user by push buttons and some adjust buttons and may takes input from vibration sensor.
Action
(Physical and/or Graphic)
on the led screen it will show two counters time they usually count Descending to zero which mean lose divided to two sides when user input got read his counter will stop and the competitor's counter will start to count down.
Brain
Arduino UNO
Power Management
it will take its power from adaptor.
5- Create a cardboard prototype of your project, demonstrating the project face as well as internal movements and mechanisms. Include a demo video and photos of the prototype.

main part "chees clock"
second part "chess board"
joint position and slots to wire
two parts assemble and the electric wire which link the sensor fixed in board's blow to the main board in chess clock.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
chess clock counts from specific number to zero in two sides alternately
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: None
once a player have moved his pieces he will push his button so it will stop his counter and competitor counter.
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: tangible push button
when one of the players counter reach to zero that mean he is loser it will show flag and make a large sound.
Action: LCD screen and buzzer
Sensing: None
User Input: None
Complete User Features
chose your suitable time by using a small adjusting buttons user will chose the mode of his game you can play (classic, rapid, blitz)
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: small bush buttons
it will make it so easier by smart board to detect the movement which had occur and change the counter role so no need to push button, player just have to play his movement on the board and it will detect it automatically.
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: vibration sensor
User Input: move his pieces on the board.
Nice-to-have User Features
freely customize your suitable time by adjusting buttons also you can determine whatever time you want.
Action: LCD screen
Sensing: None
User Input: small bush buttons.
