Chess Clock
A two-player game clock for chess, checkers, debates or any turn-based game. Set a starting time (and an optional move increment), press Start, then each player taps their own clock after their move to pass the turn.

Set a starting time, then tap Player 1's side to begin — White moves first.
How it works
Press Start game, then tap the side of the player whose turn just finished — that stops their clock, adds any move increment, and starts the opponent's clock. Only the active player's time counts down. When a player's clock reaches 00:00, their panel turns orange and the game stops automatically.
