chess clock

2013-10-23 Thread John Gallagher
Hi there if you can find an app to be used for a chess clock it will 
be fine to use on your own but if you used it in an actual chess 
tournament and your phone rang you would loose the game.

I think that depends on the situation 
In a tournament with a sighted club I would agree
However we run tournaments on Skype and it would work

2013-10-23 Thread Esther
Hi John and Gerry,
My original recommendation of a chess clock app (some months ago) was for use 
by someone on the MacVisionaries who wanted to play tournaments by Skype, 
similar to Gerry's comments.  I'n not sure how Gabriel planned to use this, but 
he did ask for suggestions for an accessible chess clock app.  I'll just add 
that recent model iPhones support the Do Not Disturb function.  The 
Merkmatics Chess clock app that I recommended ($0.99) is also usable on an IPad 
or iPhone Touch.  There's a detailed review up at AppleVis based on tests with 
the iPhone 5 and the iPad Mini.
• AppleVis Review of the Merkmatics Chess Clock:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/merkmatics-chess-clock
App Store link to MerkMatics Chess Clock ($0.99)
https://itunes.apple.com/app/merkmatics-chess-clock/id347870076?mt=8

I think this has the most features, but a few free apps have been suggested 
that you can try.  Sorry for inadvertently sending off an earlier incomplete 
post.

Cheers,

Esther

Re: Searching for a Chess Clock.

2013-10-21 Thread Richard Turner
I found a free chess clock that might do what you want.
I'll paste the link below.
The settings button is not labelled.
But it seems fully accessible.
It has not been updated in a couple years.
It defaults to a 90 minute game, allowing 5 minutes each per move.
I just did a search for chess clocks, and since this one was free, thought I'd 
check it out. I am not a good enough player to use a clock.

Re: Searching for a Chess Clock.

2013-10-21 Thread Esther
Hello Gabriele and Richard,

I can recommend the Merkmatics Chess clock, which is internationally 
available, frequently updated, and very accessible:
• Merkmatics Chess Clock ($0.99) by Merkmatics
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/merkmatics-chess-clock/id347870076?mt=8
You can set this up with any of the popular delay settings (USCF, Fischer 
compensation, Bronstein compensation, or no delay). I posted about this app 
to the MacVisionaries list when Brandt was looking for a computer chess 
clock, but you can read a full review at the AppleVis site:
http://www.applevis.com/apps/ios/utilities/merkmatics-chess-clock
This is a universal app, so it will work on both an iPhone (or iPod Touch), 
or an iPad. It has lots of user configurable options. There is one 
unlabeled button in the very center of the screen that brings up the 
settings options. You can try the free app that Richard found, and if you 
want another option, you can try this one.  You can also read more about 
the app at the developer's web site:
http://www.merkmatics.com/

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
