## What is Gambit?

Gambit is a chess clock that brings a 21st century experience to a millennia old game.

- Run everything from casual games to competitive tournaments, with increment, full time control, and move clock buffer options.
- Completely free, with no in app purchases, and no subscriptions.
- Make things interesting with support for having different timing rules for each player - different starting times, increments, and move time delays.
- Ensure accuracy, with millisecond precision on the clock, so every decision counts.
- Show your name on your clock, so everyone knows who is who.
- Pause and resume while making corrections and alterations to the time remaining, for any arbitration needs.
- Orient the clock how you like, with support for being on either side of the board.
- Tilt the clock to enter dual mode, where both players can see both clocks.
- Battery Saver Mode keeps the screen dark, to save battery for your longest games.
