Chess Clocks
Chess clock is a device used to measure time remaining for each player to complete his or her moves. Although originally used only for chess, such a clock can be used in every two-player turn game.
There are two main types of chess clocks: analog and digital. An analog clock consists of two clock faces (one for each player), each one one with a plastic "flag", which would rise as the hand approaches 12 and then fall to indicate that the player has lost the game on time. Because of this, chessplayers often use a verb "to flag", which means the same as "to lose on time".
A digital clock has electronic displays instead of clock faces. It is programmable, allowing for easy set up of different time controls, including ones with increment. Digital chess clocks offer more accuracy than the analog ones, and display exact time remaining to the player.
