Special Features that chess players like of ZchessClock!
#1. Handicap - You can set different time for each player
you can set different time for each player, from 1 to 120 minutes each, in this way, if one player is better than the other, you can set less time for the best player like a handicap.
#2. Listen music while playing - Easy Sound Control and Music on
in Lite version many people asked how to silence the clock, just use the volumen control of the device at the side, getting low or high the volume. In Pro version we included in More Screen, Sound option, the chance to silence the ZchessClock, or to start the music standard app of the device in the song you listen at last. Also you can listen the clock sound together with the music, putting on the tic-tac option.
#3. Help if Clocks shortage - to complete clocks in a chess tournament
when organizing a tournament at a club, and do not reach the board asked the players if they can bring the parts or the board. In the case of chess clocks, if any player has an iPod, an iPhone or an iPad, you can solve the shortage of clocks for the tournament using ZchessClock. This contributes to not miss on any board a chess clock, and you play better chess.
#4. Restart or Continue - Possible to check another app while playing
There is a trick in the ZchessClock. When two players are playing, you can exit the application but keep walking chess clock!, So when you press the icon ZchessClock again, returns to the screen Play. If instead we go to the Settings Screen to change the time per player, the chess clock restarts.
going to settings, and putting on airplane mode, if someone calls on the iPhone, it will not sound while we are using the ZchessClock, whereas if we put off airplane mode, the iPhone will sound when a call arrives, but the ZchessClock will continue running !
Product Specifications
Settings screen
In the first screen you can set the time for each player. You can choose the time you want for each player, not necessary they must be equal, you can choose different time for each player. Then you can choose play and go to the chess clock app itself: Play screen.
Play screen
Tapping a clock, the other clock turns white and time run in it (a tic tac sound you could listen, and you can set the volumen of the clock sound as you want), until this player tap the white clock that is running. Then it turns grey, and the other clock turns white and so, from tap to tap.
Once a player loose all its time, the clock turns red, and the red upper arrow falls down. Just like the real chess clock!
While you play, it will not allow the screensaver run, so you will remain watching the clocks while you play with no problems.
In case you need to use another app, you can do that and once returning to this app, you could see the time continues running. Only when you tap "settings", and change the time for a player the chess clock reset time for both clocks.
