Know how chess players have a physical clock by their side as they play the game and use it to time their game? And do you know how they use a pen and paper to keep track of the moves? Developer Breakthru Software came up with the Tempo Game Clock application so that chess players can forget about clocks, pens, and paper. This is a handy application that helps you time chess and other types of games; it also helps you keep track of the moves, penalties, and the score.

To get started with Tempo Game Clock you will have to download a 2.5MB executable onto your machine and run it. Once you do so, a setup wizard will show up and help you install the application. You can install Tempo Game Clock on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3).

When you launch Tempo Game Clock you will be presented with three windows: one is the application’s main window, from which you can start a game, load one of several types of games, play with the settings, and so on. The other two are for the white and black player – in chess, one player gets the white pieces and the other one, the black ones. These two windows display a countdown timer, the number of moves each player makes, the score and the penalties.

Hit the big green button and the countdown timer for the white player will start counting down. Click the blue button and the application will switch to the black player; the timer in this player’s window will start counting down. Each time you switch from one player to another, a new move is added to the tally. As the timer counts down, a green progress bar also goes down.

This sort of functionality is ideal for games such as chess. The nice thing about Tempo Game Clock is that it provides support for other types of games. You can switch from one game type to another from the File menu, the Load New Game Type submenu.

Some timed games also need dice. Tempo Game Clock has a virtual pair of dice you can use for the game.

Use Tempo Game Clock to clock timed games, to replace traditional dice, and to keep records of your games.

Pros
