What is a "chess clock"?
A chess clock is a timing device used in chess to keep track of the time each player spends making moves. It consists of two clocks, one for each player, and only one clock runs at a time. When a player finishes their move, they press a button on their clock to stop it and start the opponent's clock. Chess clocks are used in games with time controls, such as blitz, rapid, or classical chess, to ensure that both players have a limited amount of time to make their moves. If a player runs out of time, they lose the game, regardless of the position on the board.
