Q

Game timer that may implement the Fischer method :

A

CHESS CLOCK

A chess clock comprises two countdown clocks, sitting side-by-side. Buttons on the top of the device start one clock, while stopping the other. The idea is to track the total time used by each of two players, ensuring that neither one overly delays the game. A Fischer clock is a version of a chess clock that was patented by former world champion Bobby Fischer. The Fischer clock allocates a fixed time at the beginning of the game, and then adds a small amount of time after each move. This prevents the situation where one player becomes desperately short of time, giving him or her a “breather” after each move is made.
