Mistakes are recoverable.

Pause, adjust a clock, or undo the last switch. Everything stays paused until you're both ready.

YOUR ONLINE CHESS TIMER

Choose a control. Play a real game.

This free two-player chess clock runs in your browser. Pick a preset above, choose who moves first, then press Start. Each player taps their own active face after moving. Only one clock runs at once.

Use Make it your own for unequal times, a Fischer increment or simple US delay. Increment is added before the first move and after each completed move; 3+2 begins at 3:02 each. Delay gives each turn a short window before base time decreases.

Keep this page visible while playing. It pauses when you leave the tab or window, and a saved clock reopens paused so you can check both times. No signup or installation is required.
