A1 Game Clock

## Description

A simple, easy to use game clock with support for all possible tournament time controls.

Now you can replace a physical game clock with this inexpensive app that has more features than even the most expensive digital game clock. This app has special support for Chess, Checkers, Draughts, Backgammon and Arimaa, but can be used for any two player game. It provides predefined settings for standard time controls used by FIDE, World Backgammon Association, American Checker Federation, FMJD and other organizations.

If you like this app please give it a rating or better yet write a review. If you encounter any problems with the app or have suggestions for additional features or time controls, please use the support form in the app to let us know. We would be happy to hear from you.
