Frequently asked questions
What is a chess clock?
A chess clock is a two-player timer that counts down only for the player whose turn is active. After a move, the player switches the clock to start the opponent's time.
Can I use this as a two-player timer?
Yes. The same clock works for chess, board games, classroom challenges, and any two-player activity where turns need separate time.
Does this chess clock support increment?
This free web version focuses on simple fixed-time controls. Increment can be added later if search and usage data show demand.
