ChessClock

Chessclock lets a computer (ideally a laptop) replace a traditional chess clock sitting next to a chess board.

(OK, actually there’s nothing chess-specific about it. It can be used to time-limit any two-player game.)

FEATURES

• Fullscreen view showing two big digital clocks.
• Set different time limits for each player.
• Turn counting.
• Optionally return some time to a player’s clock after each turn.
• ChessClock is Free Software and costs $0.
