Imagine playing a game and shifting your eyes to your clock only to see two clock hands that stopped moving. If you’re thinking, “$80 for just a chess timer?” like I was-yes, spending $80 for a proper, well functioning clock while playing chess is worth every penny. Made by one of the largest Chess magazines, New in Chess, you know they won’t put their name on anything but the best for Chess players. This timer by is hands down one of the best chess clocks you’ll come across. This is why we are putting this clock at numero uno. Including Texel, Arasan, and Rodent II just to name a few. Not only that, but it has other engines as well.
How would you like to use Stockfish, offline? Yes, this timer actually has Stockfish, arguably the strongest of all chess engines built into it. How would you like a Chess clock that turns your Chess board into the ultimate sparring partner to practice with? That’s the claim by DGT and they stand by it. Type of chess clock that only has three buttons total (but a million features).Īlso, I should mention that I did in fact write this program for my own use so I wanted the controls to be somewhat intuitive for other fellow chess players.This DGT clock has to be mentioned first, because it’s not just a Chess timer. And secondly, I modeled the controls off of a very common Firstly you do not want the clock toīe accidentally reset mid-game. I have written it as such mainly for two reasons. To those of you not familiar with actual chess clocks the controls may seem odd. After the program has run remember to go back and recomment the line.)

To trigger this 'factory_reset' you must uncomment (There is a function in the program called "ChessClock.factory_reset" that will restore the original presets. To save your own custom preset, set the clock as described above in 'Setting' and then press and hold the number on which you would like to store that time-control.Īfter 2 seconds the display screens will flash and the new time-control will overwrite the previous time-control that was mapped to that key. Simply press the number where your desired preset is stored while the clock is in its reset state and it will load that time-control. The presets are stored on the numbers 1-0 on your keyboard (not the keypad).
This program allows you to save up to ten custom presets. Once you have set all the digits to the desired state pressing spacebar again will return you to the starting state displaying the new time-control. Once you have set all four digits you will be able to add delay and increment time if desired. Use the mouse buttons to modify the timer (each corresponding to its side of the display)Īnd press spacebar to change to the next digit. This will cause the first digit of each display to blink. If you would like to modify the time-control hold spacebar for 2 seconds while the clock is in the reset state.
