chess clocks are essential tools in competitive chess, ensuring that each player has a limited amount of time to make their moves. They typically consist of two timers, one for each player, which count down independently. When one player makes a move and presses their clock, it stops their timer and starts their opponent's. This helps prevent excessively long games and encourages strategic thinking under time pressure. Modern chess clocks come in both analog and digital formats, with digital clocks often offering additional features like increment and delay settings.
