国际象棋时钟, 国际象棋计时器
a device used to time the moves of players during a game of chess, with two clocks typically used for each player, one with a button that stops their clock and starts their opponent's clock, and vice versa
A chess clock is a timing device used in chess to keep track of the time each player spends making moves. It consists of two clocks, one for each player, and only one clock runs at a time. When a player finishes their move, they press a button on their clock to stop it and start the opponent's clock. Chess clocks are used in games with time controls, such as blitz, rapid, or classical chess, to ensure that both players have a limited amount of time to make their moves. If a player runs out of time, they lose the game, regardless of the position on the board.
