It provides the highest accuracy timing that iOS allows and has more features than any other game clock on the App Store. If you think there's a feature missing let us know and we'll consider adding it.
If you like the app please write a review or give it a rating. If you have any difficulty using the app or you want a new feature let me know at [email protected]. I’m grateful for your comments and support.

* Fischer compensation (time added per turn accumulates)
* Bronstein compensation (time added per turn does not accumulate)
* No compensation (just set the increment time to zero)

I use the Merkmatics Chess Clock primarily for chess but it will work for any two-player game where you want to add a time component to the game play. It will work well with Go, Scrabble, Checkers, Backgammon and many other games.

Version history
3.0.0
2014-12-19
This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
This is a significant update to the Merkmatics Chess Clock. The look and feel of the clock has been updated to a style consistent with iOS 7 & 8, the clock settings are now position based and the icon has updated.
Settings for the clocks are now based on position, the clocks are labeled A and B and the positions of the clocks are fixed. Before a game starts the clocks are labeled for clarity. Starting a game has not changed, whomever touches their clock first is Black and the opposing player is White.
I understand that everyone is busy but if you could take a moment to write a review the App it would be greatly appreciated. Your reviews have an ENORMOUS impact on the reputation and continued success of the Merkmatics Chess Clock. If you don't have time to write a review you can also simply rate the App by choosing a star rating and hitting submit. You can easily navigate to the app by touching the App's icon (next to these words) after updating.
I am going to be adding some features in the near future so stay tuned. If you have a suggestion for a new feature or want to advocate adding something, now is a great time to let me know at [email protected].
I would like to thank Matt McNeil, Rolf Exner and Abe Farraj for their input on the features in this release as well as for their help beta testing the App.
I am extremely grateful for all of the loyal users of the Chess Clock. Thank you all for your suggestions and I wish you luck in your games, whatever you happen to be playing.

Bug fix for iOS 8.1. I would like to thank Abe Farraj for bringing the issue to my attention as well as for his help testing the fix.
I would like to apologize for the crashing bug some iOS 8 customers were experiencing. I'm very sorry about any inconvenience it may have caused. The issue didn't occur on my devices running iOS 8 nor the simulators Apple provides so I didn't know about the issue until recently. Once I knew about the problem it was difficult to track down since I couldn't reproduce the issue. With Abe's help I was able to track down the issue and test the fix.
To try to ensure that this does not happen again I would like to setup a Beta Test Group that will receive App releases for testing before they are submitted to Apple. If you are interested in joining this Beta Test Group please email support. ([email protected])
I understand that everyone is busy but if you could take a moment to write a review the App it would be greatly appreciated. Your review will have a huge impact now considering the recent issue. If you don't have time to write a review you can also simply rate the App by choosing a star rating hitting submit.

Player order selection has been automated.
I would like to thank Fred Mellender and Joseph Cincotta for their suggestions regarding this new feature.
We have changed the way player order is selected to be more consistent with a classic chess clock.
Before a game starts both clocks are gray and play order is undefined (You may have to reset the clock the first time you open the app after the update). The order of play is selected when Player 2 touches their clock; this assigns Player 1 to the opposite clock and starts the game.
How to start a game:
Decide which player will move first and second. If you are Player 2 (black), simply press your button when your opponent is ready and Player 1’s clock (white) will begin counting down, starting the game.
Etiquette for starting a game: Player 2 asks Player 1 if they are ready, when Player 1 indicates that she is ready, Player 2 touches his button and Player 1’s clock starts.
Using this new method to select player clock location will allow you to start games without having to go into the setup screen before each game. Hopefully this will save you time and make the clock more enjoyable to use. If you don’t like this new setup or have suggestions regarding other improvements please do not hesitate to send an email to [email protected]. We really enjoy hearing about how you are using the app and hearing your feedback.

Essential Backgammon,
Will replace my Chronos clock.
This clock is not only easy use, it is fully featured. It includes the ability to add a grace period delay. That is essential for the backgammon tournaments that I play in. As a tournament director, ease of setup is critical. Otherwise, you spend your time adjusting clocks rather than directing the tournament.
Love this clock and no longer need to carry my Chronos to tournaments.

SmallFry312,
Best chess clock app!
Hands down, this is the best chess clock app out there! Very intuitive. The app has a clean look and has every possible timer setting you could want. Large buttons make it easy to see how much time you and your opponent have.
RonDycks,
Best chess clock, period
This does everything a chess clock needs to do. Better than analog, because it's easier to read when in a hurry!
Keep better track of time and defeat your opponent by managing your clock!

YGlen,
My only complaint ...
... is having purchased an expensive physical chess clock that now sits unused since getting this outstanding app.
GJX100,
It's great.
Works great on both iPad and iPhone. Saved me $100 from having to buy a real chess clock!
Predwolf,
Very useful
Very good chess clock.
Lariat411,
Yes!
Was looking online for a backgammon clock. Ha! It's frickin perfect!
Kenneth M, PA,
The clear winner!
I started off downloading those free chess clocks thinking "A chess clock is a chess clock, right?" How mistaken I was. With some of my free clocks I have had recognition errors where the app failed to detect the tap which is frustrating and messes up your concentration, not to mention defeats the entire purpose of having a chess timer. While I would probably wish for a sleeker icon, that is a rather inconsequential request when compared to the fact that this is a top notch chess clock and really a no-brainer if you're in the market for a good one. Also, you can expect regular updates and tweaks as needed which only make an already great app that much better. I wish I found this one from the beginning, it would have saved me a lot of time.
KC9CS,
Works fine, some recent glitches
Was working great, doing everything it claimed, but something with iOS 8.0.x gives it a problem. It hangs my IPad when trying to program it. Had to reboot the iPad several times. Seemed like it happens when programming delays, or often ( it's sporadic ) when in the programming pages. Other than this, it has the Fischer , Bronstein, and simple delays. Would be nifty if it had one button prrograming for speed or blitz games. It is easy to read, and the display would be nice to look like an LED display, which is the way of the future in chess clocks. I do like the clock overall, I'm sure it will get resolved.
fredm73,
A fine effort
This is a good chess clock. Some slight improvements to the interface will make it perfect. The reset button should allow either clock to start by pressing the other (instead of having to use the menu to pick which clock starts first). A "simple delay" wherein the player's clock does not start for the selected seconds would also be great (in addition to the Fischer and Bronstein delays already provided). These are really nits and I recommend this clock to everyone.
