Adjusting the clock

 

On some occasions you may wish to adjust the setting of the clock for any of the players. During computer Chess tournaments for instance you must compensate for the time the operator needed to input moves. The time set on the real clock can be copied to the ChessPartner clock.

 

Selecting Clocks… from the Game menu brings up the clocks dialog.

 

The dialog enabling you to do so shows the current time on right, and has editable fields on the left for black and white. The new values must be entered as hh:mm:ss where the hours and minutes are optional but the seconds are always mandatory.

 

NOTE: Only the changed values are passed to the Chess Brain. In case you make a change to the time for black but leave the field for white alone, only black's clock is adjusted! So, when you leave the dialog in view for ± 5 minutes and press Enter without making changes, the clock setting will NOT be changed and the meanwhile 5 minute old values are NOT passed on.
