Grandmaster Chess Clock is the chess clock that remembers your games. It is a precise, tournament-grade chess timer for over-the-board play — and the only clock that automatically keeps a record of every game you play on it, shows you where your time went, and replays the moves for you. Play with any time control, record your moves while the clock runs, and leave every board game with a saved score sheet, head-to-head statistics, and an automatic verdict on how you spent your clock. A CLOCK YOU CAN TRUST • Fischer increment, Bronstein, and US delay timing, implemented faithfully • Blitz, bullet, rapid, and classical presets, plus fully custom time controls • Base time to the exact minute and second, per player — time odds included • The screen never sleeps while the clock is running • Portrait table mode and landscape side-by-side layout, readable from both seats • Crisp tap sounds, haptic feedback, and low-time alerts with a color-blind-friendly mode • Pause, resume, and adjust either clock mid-game TEN HANDCRAFTED CLOCK FACES Make the clock yours: Digital, Pixel (8-bit voxel world), Ember (dark-fantasy fire), Terminal (phosphor CRT), Neon (synthwave dusk), Royal (gold on lacquer), Cosmos (deep-space starfield), Zen (ink and ivory), Retro LCD, and Flip (split-flap board). Every face is a complete theme — its own background, matching chess-board colors, and a signature animation that answers each press of the clock. RECORD MOVES WHILE YOU PLAY Open the built-in chess board and enter moves as the game happens: a legal move presses the clock automatically, so notation and timekeeping become one action. The board stays fixed, each player sees their own pieces upright from their side of the table, and every move is validated against the rules of chess. A CLOCK THAT REMEMBERS Every finished game is saved automatically to your game diary — players, result, time control, and the full per-move clock timeline. Open any game for per-player statistics: moves played, average move time, longest think, time used, and time remaining. If you recorded the moves, watch the whole game replay itself with one tap.
