Chess Clock for iPad

Chess is a beautiful but challenging game. You can’t become a chess master overnight, but playing it once in a while against friends is fun. That is when they don’t take all the time in the world to make their moves. That’s what chess clocks are for. They make sure your games are completed after a certain number of minutes. You don’t have to buy a physical chess clock though. Apps such as Chess Clock for iPad can handle the job pretty well.

The app has a pretty simple and elegant user interface. For starters, you get large numbers, so even if your eyesight is not great, you have no excuse for not moving faster. Chess Clock is easily customizable. It supports various time controls and offers Fischer and Bronstein increments. Chess Clock works in portrait and landscape modes. It does offer a time’s up alert too.

Chess Clock is designed by the folks at Chess.com. It is good looking and does not require you to be a chess genius to start using it. You can try the app for free.
