Asymmetrical Chess Clock Apps?

Sort:
Avatar of 9thEagle

Anyone have recommendations for a (free) chess clock app (for Android)? I currently use the Chess.com one which I really like, except that it has not asymmetrical features.

 

Often I'm using the chess clock on my phone (as opposed to a real one) because I'm out and someone (less skilled) wants to play chess. It's not even remotely fair for us to play a real game, but it often makes things interesting (more challenging for me, and they feel like they have a chance) if I add in a chess clock with, say 1 minute for me and 30 for them.

So far I have not seen any chess clock apps that offer asymmetrical time controls, so just wondering if anyone knows of a good one?

Damn, 30min-1min? That is insane

I mean, if you're playing someone who's never studied chess, 1 min is pretty doable. Especially since you can think during their moves.

Any recommendations though?

"Chess Clock Ultimate" is another that allows asymmetrical times.

I have tried different apps for "different timers", this one looks good for me:
"Chess Clock – Timer for your games" / "Шахматные Часы - таймер для ваших игр" (from upshive).
