A game clock co...nsists of two adjacent clocks and buttons for stopping one clock when starting another, so the two components never work at the same time.The game clock is used in two-player games where players take turns. The goal is to keep track of the total time each player spends on their own moves, and to make sure that none of the players delay the game for too long. Game clock was first widely used in tournament chess and is often referred to as a chess clock. In a tournament, the referee usually places all clocks in the same orientation so that he can easily evaluate games that require attention at later stages.
