A wide range of uses

Is there another game I can use it for besides chess? Yes! It can be a great addition to already familiar and boring games by adding a time limit to make the game more difficult. Board games or games of skill, but also word or card games are more exciting if you don't have to wait endlessly for another. 

This app is definitely a fun way to spice up your Scrabble or Jenga games. The hourglass is a really fun way to play, as is the division into rounds. You can also use these freer settings according to your own rules. Try it out with your friends!

What would you like to add to make it more fun to use ? If you have any ideas or wishes, special game rule ideas, please feel free to contact us. If there is sufficient interest, support for more than two players is planned.

[ Game modes ] 

Basic chess - Standard chess clock with the usual operation, the clock timer counts down to zero.

US delay - Simple delay, after each step the lap time is reset. If the lap time is exceeded, it is reduced from the main time.

Bronstein delay - If a player expends more than the specified delay then the entire delay is added to the player's clock, but if a player moves faster than the delay, only the exact amount of time expended by the player is added.

Fischer bonus - A specified amount of time is added to the players main time each move, unless the player's main time ran out before they completed their move.

Forward counting - Time runs incrementally from the initial value until the set limit is reached. Also known as a reverse chess clock.

Unlimited - Time passes incrementally from the initial value, but there is no limitation, the game can go on for as long as you like.

Free to touch - The clock counts for the player who has just pressed it. Opposite logic to the chess clock and no time limit.

Round based - When the round time runs out, the other player is next. Time limit is fixed for each round.

Hourglass - All time spent goes to the opposite player. When the time runs out, the game is over.
