Purpose Of A Chess Clock
So, if you’re going to play a game of chess, why not play it to the fullest extent possible? That extra dimension that we spoke of is available only through a chess clock. A chess clock is quite similar to a stop watch. The basic structure consists of a box, which can be made from any number of materials, and two stop watches. Two buttons protrude from the top, waiting for a play to enthusiastically press them. A button or switch is also placed on the box, which is first turned on at the beginning of the game.
When a player is to make his or her first move, they first turn the chess clock on, and promptly begin the game. Afterwards, when the move is completed, the button on their side of the box is pressed.
