Description:
This is a modern vintage playback timer for playing chess. The purpose is to keep track of the total time each player takes for their own moves and ensure that neither player overly delays the game. International chess has a standard time control of 40 moves in 2 hours and then an extra hour to reach move 60. After this, if the game is still in progress a quickplay finish decides the game. With the use of digital clocks, it is common to play with an increment such as 2 12.
