Time is an exciting aspect of many sports. This is certainly true in games such as chess, go, draughts, shogi and Scrabble®. A players' skill is determined not only by decisions, but by how quickly those decisions are made. The pressure of "time scramble" situations is one of these games' great attractions.
The DGT Digital Game Timer offers 12 different methods for timing two-player games. Several are well-known. Others, now made possible by modern electronics, may be less familiar to you.
Every method has its own advantages, and its own effect on your game experience. When you own a DGT Clock, the best way to find the timing methods you enjoy is to experiment with them.
Here's a brief description of the timing methods available with the DGT Clock:
Traditional: Rapid/Blitz, Guillotine, Second-Period Repetition.
Extra time per move: Bronstein, Fischer, FIDE, Byo-yomi.
Fun: Hourglass, Gong
