Online Chess Clock
Two player chess timer with tap to switch. A timer for chess — choose a time control, press start, and tap your side on your turn.
Tap your side after your move — the clock will switch to the other player.
How to use
- Choose a time control (e.g. Blitz 3+2) or set a custom time.
- Press "Start Game" — the White (bottom) clock runs first.
- Tap your side after each move; when the time runs out, the flag falls.
Tips
- Blitz 3+2 and Rapid 10+0 are the most common online time controls - start there if you are new.
- Tap your side of the clock immediately after moving, before your opponent starts thinking.
