Hi there, either in this case, I just want to mention the chess clock.
Now, if you play online the chess club, it's not a concern.
A lot of these rules are not really of great concern to you.
They're sort of handled for you.
The touch move rule, thankfully, online doesn't exist.
By the way.
They're not going to penalize you usually for accidentally touching up so you can actually change your
mind.
But the real world, yeah, we do have these strict rules.
And one of them, you know, when you play your move, if you've got a real world clock and they usually
digital clocks nowadays that look like this, you do have to play your move and then and then press
your clock with the same hands.
And your opponent, when they play, they'll play the other side of the clock.
And sometimes you're in this tournament situation is quite funny.
When you will see this, I expect someone accidentally presses the clock next to the amusement everyone
when I mean, they accidentally press the clock next to I don't mean their clock.
I mean the next door neighbors boards clock.
So, yeah, just to clarify that, by the way.
OK.
So there's great fun in playing in real world events with these clocks, huge fun.
But anyway, the rule is, yes, when you when you make a move, you use the same hands to press your
clock.
And these digital clocks, they're really clever.
If you want to play like five minute chess, there's a special mode on this one digitise.
It's one mode one.
And so there's different modes with different preset time limits and increments.
And increment is when you play, maybe you do get an extra kind of a few seconds or even a minute or
whatever minutes extra added.
So, yes, the clocks, it's worth getting a digital clock, which is Friday approved.
Friday is the world governing body of chess federation.
International Shack's the acronym Feedin Federation International, Digex Veli.
So they have also the complete set of rules you should try and be familiar with.
There is a PDF documents.
I recommend an election about coming up.
But yeah, chess clocks, it's worth getting a veto proof clock, ideally a digital clock.
So when you practice with friends, try and, you know, be as strict as possible just to simulate the
real world environment of the tournament.
OK, that's how much.
