![]() ![]() This is the FIDE preference since if a clock is set to add the second time control once the required number of moves in the first time control is met, it counts the number of moves based on the number of times the clock has been pressed but the clocks move count can become inaccurate, and thus add the second time control at the wrong time, if the clock was pressed too few or too many times (for instance, a player forgetting to press their clock after a turn). Here is the answer to the other question:įor multiple time controls with increment (FIscher), if you choose one of the presets on the DGT 3000, it's set to add the second time control for both players simultaneously once the time in the first time control runs out for one of the players, regardless of if the required number of moves in the first time control were met. This failure to adjust the clock initially should not be allowed as grounds to contest a later time forfeit claim.“ If a game is started without the increment applied for move one, it is recommended that the TD not allow the clock to be subsequently adjusted to add the increment for move one. If the clock only gives 3.00 for each player’s first move when the clock is set-with a base time of three minutes and increment of two seconds-then, if possible, two seconds should be added to each player’s base time when setting the clock. For example, for G/3 inc2, each player gets 3.02 (three minutes and two seconds) to complete move one. For clocks that don't, the increment time in seconds should be added manually to the base time, if possible, so each player gets the increment for move one. “TD TIP: Not all digital clocks correctly give the increment for move one when you set increment on the clock. The TD Tip makes it clear that for increment time controls, the players get the increment for move one under US Chess rules and gives the recommended procedure for TD’s to use if a game is started without the increment applied for move one. ![]() I helped author the following "TD Tip" which has just been added to the online edition of the US Chess rulebook ( ) and will appear in the print edition the next time it is updated. Not long ago, I didn't even know there were two systems.īeing a hungarian, I've always played for example with the 'insufficient material' draw rule without even knowing it's USCF. To be fair, I don't actually follow anything like that, and I'm not even american. Its "USCF that does not want to follow the international standard". To be fair, FIDE its the world wide chess federation, while USCF its just the US national chess federation. Its knows that FIDE and USCF use different incrementing method.Īll right, I was not aware that FIDE did that. I've no chess clocks, I'm using the chess clock app, and even that knows that 3/2 starts with 3 minutes and adds increment every move, rather than starting with 3:02 OR 2:58.Ĭhess com follow USCF. If it bothers you, you can use a custom setting and set the time for 2 minutes and 58 seconds with a 2 second increment- then the game will start showing 3 minutes.īut showing 3:02 is normal and consistent with FIDE rules. In addition a nice leaflet is in the box depicting the time-line development of chess clocks and showing all 16 chess world champions.I have got this clock but notice in the presets if I choose a 3 minute game with 2 second increment it actually starts with 3 minutes and 2 seconds.
