3:47 a matter of "TIME"??
Nice video...easy to follow. I have had that same chess set for several years. Great weighed pieces. Again outstanding job!
Excellent Video! Thanks for taking the time to make it :)
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?
Thanks for the video dude!
Wouldn’t it be easier to have a countdown dial? It seems weird to me to have standard clock dial for that purpose, isn’t it?
thanks for the video on the analog chess clocks - just one question: what is the wristwatch you are wearing?
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
How to pause the clock if opponent makes an illegal move??
@@kushalsaha6299 With both buttons half way pressed it is paused.
Can these clock be purchased in Englang,uk?
@kushalsaha6299 I don't know what official tournament rules are, but I would just hit the clock back and not say anything and let them feel dumb
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.
To adjust the time, analog clocks are within 30 + - seconds day
Great video! I just got one as a gift so super excited to try it out.. also why 6?
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.
Does it have increment
i have a question. i am soon going to get a mechanical clock and i am wondering how to set up a 25 minute game? thanks!
You would need to set it at 5:35 for a 25 minute game.
Why does the game end at 6 O'Clock?
Does this analog clock have a 5 second delay per move?
no
The classic!
Where did you get your favourite chess clock from as I’m trying to look for one. Also where do you buy chess clocks because I’ve no idea thanks
Did you tried Amazon, there are dozens of types there.
Hi Thechesshouse,
thank you for your vid.
How do you feel about mobile phone clock apps? I am a developer building one as a present and I feel like I think too technical.... Delay.... Fisher....

Thank you !
I have a question for you about the analog chess clocks..
Would you recommend an analog clock that is antique and made in West Germany 🇩🇪?
I saw an analog antique clock model number USCF Made In west Germany 🇩🇪 and I wanted to ask you about it and see what your opinion is about it if you don’t mind me asking you about it okay???

Why is it 6 o'clock?
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.
Indeed. Knocking them over can be deliberate for those attempting to gain time.
Can you not do bonus time on these analog clocks?
On analogs, no.
Drueke board behind seems like vintage or 2000s with marble like white squares..
I would like to have one of each how could I have them
The chess clock, the board, or the pieces?
Why is 6 o'clock used as the time-up standard?
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.
@@neilcidial-masrysandagesid7796 are you okay buddy?
I think it's also easier to discern the straight line of the hands with 6 o'clock compared to 11.58 vs 12.00 - especially from a distance.
@@ChessHouse I don't think I ever received a notification. Thank you both for your explanation.
Did you guys stop selling these? What would you recommend now?
We keep them in small quantities so sometimes they are sold out. You can request it here and when it's back in you'll get notified. www.chesshouse.com/products/classic-chess-clock

Thanks just bought the china clock, made no sense until I watch your video THANKS!
I'm glad this was helpful! Here's an article that you could find helpful too. www.chesshouse.com/pages/how-to-operate-a-chess-clock
I wound mine up when i got it and broke it. Im still heartbroken
That's just heartbreaking. Did you buy it from Chess House recently? Did you reach out to us for assistance or repair/replacement?
how much is the classic analog chess clock? t.y.
Thanks
for the two hour game wouldn't the flag fall after one hour?
Yes it would, but the hour hand would only be at 5:00 ... play doesn't actually end until 6:00
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.

Your clock will fail it’s only a matter of time.” Lol
Way to look at the face half run out.
the ticking would get me nervous as hell
I like DGT 2010 clock.
How would one setup a 10 minute game
Set it to 5:50, or ten minutes to six.
@@lollycopter Thank you
1:32 so we dont have a ring sound.... hmmm
no, this isn't your morning alarm clock. It offers a sudden and silent demise.
@@ChessHousei like this clocks. stable and not battery
Why are there dislikes?
Chinese
Just click the button
This is a video meant to be for beginners.
You should mention that a "15 minute game" actually takes 30 minutes because each clock has to move 15 minutes.
I would have gone with an analog chess clock, but find the ticking annoying.
So you lose if your time runs out even if you have a material advantage ?
dpajc056 yes
Yes, unless the other side doesn't have enough material to checkmate, which makes it a draw
Material values aren't part of the laws of chess.
over winding is a myth
This is confusing and doesn't help, why is 4 a 2 hour game? What's the point of the smaller hand, I don't understand and you don't explain anything at all...
4:00 is a 2 hour game because the standard is that the time is supposed to run out when the clock hits 6:00.
Both clocks are Analog chess clocks, only thing different about them is the brand...although both look cheaply made a failed attempt to copy the much better known and well made German BHB chess clock..which is the real "Classic"
The chinese one isn't as pretty
Piece never moved............
Why it have to be the black flag fallen first?
Racial discrimination?
JK
Wow! What a stupid statement!😆
That's pc culture for you! Soon chess will be illegal on campus 😂
