Online Chess Clock
A fair timer for every match
Time control:
Tap your side after moving
A time control like 5+3 gives each player 5 minutes for the whole game, plus 3 extra seconds added after every move. When your clock reaches zero, you lose on time.
What does 3+2 mean in chess?
Each player starts with 3 minutes, and 2 seconds are added to their clock after every move. The increment keeps fast games from ending in a pure time scramble.
Which time control should I choose?
Bullet is 1-2 minutes, blitz 3-5 minutes, and rapid 10-30 minutes per player. Beginners learn more from rapid games; use blitz or bullet for quick fun.
