What is a game clock?
A game clock consists of two adjacent clocks and buttons to stop one clock while starting the other, such that the two component clocks never run simultaneously. Game clocks are used in two-player games where the players move in turn. The purpose is to keep track of the total time each player takes for his or her own moves, and ensure that neither player overly delays the game.

Time controls:
Suddden Death
Players must make a predetermined number of moves in a certain amount of time or forfeit immediately. There is no time increment in this mode.
Fischer
Before a player has made his move, a specified time increment is added to his clock. Time can be accumulated, so if the player moves within the delay period, his remaining time actually increases.
