If you want to play chess with a chess clock, but you dont have your chess clock handy, now you can turn your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into a nice, simple, easy to use chess clock with a great view for all possible chess match, tournament and casual time controls.
You can replace a physical chess clock with this inexpensive app, and you don’t need to carry anything else than your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with this chess clock inside.
So just put the board and pieces in place, turn your iPod touch on, an open this app, and train or play the real chess experience, in any place, any time! Just enjoy this real and digital chess new experience!
This is the first analog chess clock that includes Fischer system additional time per move! In this Pro version you will have all upgrades for all features we invent.

Settings screen

In the first screen you can set the time for each player. You can choose the time you want for each player, not necessary they must be equal, you can choose different time for each player.
Then you can choose play and go to the chess clock app itself: Play screen.

Play screen

Tapping a clock, the other clock turns white and time run in it (a tic tac sound you could listen, and you can set the volumen of the clock sound as you want), until this player tap the white clock that is running. Then it turns grey, and the other clock turns white and so, from tap to tap.
Once a player loose all its time, the clock turns red, and the red upper arrow falls down. Just like the real chess clock!
While you play, it will not allow the screensaver run, so you will remain watching the clocks while you play with no problems.
In case you need to use another app, you can do that and once returning to this app, you could see the time continues running. Only when you tap "settings", and change the time for a player the chess clock reset time for both clocks.

More screen

In this third screen you will see a menu. There you can select "link to chess clubs", where you can choose a country, and you will find web links to chess clubs in that country. In each upgrade we will add more links and we will upgrade those links that stop working fine. In the menu you will find more information about us, and the chance to Rate-this-app, or Facebook like. Also, You can choose to control sound in the application: you can set tic-tac on, and you also can choose to turn on music while playing the chess game, and using the clock simultaneously. Also, you can turn off both music and tic-tac sound.
Another feature requested by professional players is the Fischer system option: here you can choose an extra time in seconds per move. Every time you move the arrow of seconds, go backward! as much seconds as you choose in this option. This is a real invent that you will love.
