CHESS CLOCK

All players who want to develop their career in chess and wants to participate in various chess tournaments and competitions should buy a chess clock. Chess clock consists of two clocks, such that both the clocks are not running simultaneously. These are used in two player game, in which the player moves in turn. They are used to keep a record of the total time taken by a player for his own moves. The first time chess clocks were used in 1883, in London. These clocks are used in chess format known as “Sudden Death”, in which a player has to make a number of moves in a certain amount of time. Another format is “blitz chess” in which a player is given five minutes for the entire game.

  1. In ancient history of chess the game was played with no time limits and simple rules. When the royals were used to their game type they found some kind easiness in it. To make the game more interesting and complex they upgraded it with time system which is one of the essential rules of play.
