Put the phone between the players and start.

  1. Pick a time control

    Choose Blitz, Bullet, Rapid or Classical at the top.

  2. Set the phone between you

    On a phone, the top side faces your opponent, so both of you can read your own clock.

  3. Tap to end your turn

    Make your move, then tap anywhere on your side. Your clock stops and your opponent’s starts.

  4. Play to the flag

    If a clock reaches zero, an alarm sounds and the board shows who ran out of time.

Questions.

Is this chess clock free?

Yes. It is free and works in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop, with no sign-up and no app. Your game stays on your device.

How does increment work?

Each time you tap to end your turn, the increment is added to your clock. In the blitz preset, that means 3 seconds per move.

How do I start the game?

Black taps their side first. That starts White’s clock, and play begins.

Can I show the clocks on a big screen for spectators?

Yes. Connect a TV or projector as a second display, press Second screen and drag the window to it. Spectators at a club event can watch both clocks while the players tap on the device.
