9. Glossary
Time
In Time mode the clock counts down the time on the side where the lever is up.
Fischer bonus
In Fischer bonus settings players receive an additional amount of time for each move. A bonus
time is added before each move from the start of the game. Playing with increments (bonus)
has become the standard in chess.
Delay
In Delay settings the players are given a certain amount of free time at the start of each turn
before their main thinking time starts counting down. This Delay time is added to the main
thinking time in the display so that the total time available to each player is always visible. At
the start of a player's turn, the clock starts to count down and if the player moves within the
delay time, the time in the display will return to what it was before the start of the turn.
US Delay
In US Delay settings the clock has a separate timer that starts counting down before each
turn. After the separate timer has finished counting down, the main time will start to count
down.
Byo-Yomi
In Japanese Byo-Yomi settings players transition to the Byo-Yomi period when their main
time runs out. The player receives a number of Byo-Yomi periods with a set amount of time
per period. If the player completes their move within the time of that period, the period time
is reset. However, if they exceed the time of that period, the time does not reset, and the next
period starts counting down. Each time you exceed a period's time, the number of remaining
periods is reduced by one. When the time in the last Byo-Yomi period is used, the player has
lost on time and the flag will be shown.
Canadian byo-yomi
In Canadian Byo-Yomi, when main time runs out, the player enters a second period to
complete an agreed number of moves in a certain time. When the agreed number of moves is
completed, the player's clock can be reloaded with the Byo-Yomi time by pressing the minus
button for two seconds.
Hourglass
In Hourglass options players start with the same amount of time on the clock but when one
player's clock is counting down, the other player's clock is counting up.
Gong
In Gong options players receive the same fixed amount of time for each move. They must
make their move when the clock signals the end of their turn. The lever is not used in this
option.
Scrabble™
In Scrabble™ options, when zero is reached, the clock will start counting up.
Move timer
In Move timer settings, the clock will countdown a set time and a player must complete their
move before the timer reaches 0:00. The time is then reset for their next move.
