## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'd like to use this to track time spent on two work projects. Hoping I can push the left button when starting on project A, push again to stop?**
A: Hi. Thank you for your inquiry. On this chess clock you may set both sides for time, however once you push the left button it will start counting down but to stop the left side from counting you will need to push the right side (and it starts counting down) and back and forth, etc. Please contact us should you have any further questions.Thank you. Wholesale Chess888-582-4377

**Q: How do you set the number of moves for the first time control? Usually first time control is to complete 40 moves. What if its different?**
A: You enter the time control only on the clock.  Based on number of times the clock was pressed during an active game, the clock will display the number of moves, but only for the current player when pressing and holding down the "+" button.  The accompanying manual is rather brief, but outlines a list of many program options.  For example, if you want to require one hour (or whatever) for each player, program 2 does this.  (You may have to set the desired time digit by digit for each player using the + and - buttons).  If you want "Fischer time" added back with each press of a clock, Program 14 does that.  If you want a second or other repeating time control after that first hour, then Programs 8 and 10 handle those.  Overall, there are 9 different program structures, each with a couple default settings that are adjustable if needed.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Which one can handle a football player's strength the best?**
A: I have in moments of "AhHAH!" hit the lever pretty hard, but I would recommend a tap of the finger instead.  it is plastic, and the first one I bought (and had replaced) had a lever that did not work.  On the whole, I would say this can handle a pretty good rap, but not every time.

**Q: does this clock have byo yomi time control? if so, how many periods can it have and can it be set for less than 60 secs?**
A: Thank you for your inquiry. The DGT North American does not have a Byo-Yomi function. The DGT 2010 and DGT 3000 both have that function. The initial time may be set for less than 60 seconds with the 2010 and 3000 in the BYO function.We hope this helps.Regards,Robyn Wholesale Chess888-582-4377

A great clock.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lot of function for the price

This is a very good chess clock. Also at this time Amazon offers free shipping, which was outstanding (Ordered on Sunday, delivered on Tuesday, free). This clock will inevitably be compared to the sturdy Chronos clocks costing 3 or 4 times as much, currently without Amazon free shipping. I have not ever owned a Chronos, but I have played on them. I believe they are heavy duty and probably more likely to survive abuse than the DGT NA. However, I do not plan to abuse mine or allow anyone to abuse it. The only negative comment I have is that the section of the manual explaining the timing options is confusing. On page 9 it has a table of timing options, what the display is supposed to show, and a verbal explanation. Option 14 shows display left and right both showing 0.00.00. In fact, what you actually see is 1) 0:00 0:00 followed by 2) .00 0:00 followed by 3) X:XX 0:00, (where X:XX is what you set the left hand minutes to) followed by 4) X:XX .00 followed by 5) 0:00 X:XX (the 0:00 is the 3 digit bonus time in minutes and seconds). Five screens instead of one. The second screen shows 00 with "bonus" at the bottom, leading me to believe that the maximum bonus time was 59 seconds. But what the .00 means is the seconds in the left hand (or right hand) main control time. Bottom line, this clock does what I want, and very few other do, but it was difficult to ascertain that. And let me say that other chess clocks can also be hard to understand. OK. now for the good. I like the recessed power button so it does not get powered on /off accidentally. This is one of the few clocks that will allow a Fischer move bonus of 60 seconds. The in-game controls are clear and well thought out. It remembers your settings for each time option so you might need to program an option only once (unless you use that same option with different values). This clock will fit in the clock compartment of my chess bag. Some of the Chronos clocks are too long to fit. Last but not least, a lot of function for a reasonable price.
