    I have the one on the left. The flag doesn’t seem to stay on the minute hand long enough to fall when it hits 12. Is this a common problem?

    yes, that's the speed setting. You can vary the speed of each side... best used to correct them. Run it for one hour, compared to a watch timer and see how accurate your clock is, then make small adjustments to improve accuracy

    That clock also has another slot on the back: It has a curved slot with a piece of metal and it has "+" and "-" with lines in between. Is that the speed of the seconds? Mine are set differently and it seems like the left is going faster than the right.

      It's a standard that's been established. The only other reasonable choice would be 12, but then you have two hands competing for the space visually. If you have 2.5 hours left in a game, showing this as 3:30 makes sense. If there's no standard for an ending hour for games of more than 1 hr, then people can't tell how much time is left.

  • @asd36f
    @asd36f 5 лет назад +10

    The trouble with the analog clocks was that they could be easily knocked over, due to being tall and narrow, if a player hit the button hard, especially in blitz play. The modern digital clocks are lower and don't move as much.

    • @jeupham
      @jeupham 2 года назад +2

      Indeed. Knocking them over can be deliberate for those attempting to gain time.

    Why is 6 o'clock used as the time-up standard?

    • @ChessHouse
      @ChessHouse  6 лет назад +18

      That's a great question. It's a standardized approach. Imagine a game that lasts 90 minutes, 2 hours or more per player. The minute hand is going to cross the 12 o'clock position more than one time. For this reason, it's very important to know where the hour hand should be when the minute hand reaches the final position and raises the flag indicator. If you are playing 90 minutes, starting at 4:30 provides that 6:00 finish. Of course, you could start at 10:30, but when the clock is at 11:55, it's harder to read the display than when it's at 5:55.

    • @lollycopter
      @lollycopter 2 года назад

      It depends on whether you mean 2 hours (max) for the whole game or 2 hours for each side. When commentators say "it was a 6 hour game", they mean the whole game lasted 6 hours, not that both players were each allocated 6 hours.
      If you set 1 hour for each player, the maximum duration a game can last is just less than 2 hours (provided a flag fall is spotted immediately). However, setting 1 hour for both players still can lead to a 2 minute game if a player gets scholar mated.
