Before the start of the game the arbiter decides where the chess clock is placed. |

It will be fun watching you and Robbie next week. Can I be the arbiter?
we may not be able to agree who the arbitrator is!
Usually the black player gets to choose which side the clock is placed on.

Yes, I post the rule from the FIDE manual. In a chess club, or playing with friends, black choose.

You have to know which rules apply to your game. USCF rules allow Black to determine the position of the clock if the position is not stipulated by the Tournament Director.
The chess clock is not functioning correctly. The game's clock suddenly dropped by a minute, sometimes dropped by 40 seconds. Do anyone of you know how this could happen and how to address it? Thank you.
The more important rule is that you have to use the same hand you used to move the piece. Because of that it cannot make much difference which side the clovk is on.

Do a "search forums" (the little box in the upper right) for "lag" and all will be revealed.
Lag? We are talking about real clocks and real boards not virtual ones.
this is why it makes sense to play when one player is left-handed and the other is right-handed
Not all the time this works.

Yeah, thanks, but I'm not quite the idiot you make me out to be. Another member, unclewunwun, asked an "off topic" question and I thought it would be polite to answer him. More proof that no good deed goes unpunished....
Well if you have off topic conversations within a thread, expect to be misunderstood. I hope my post is polite. Yours wasnt.
My post wasn't polite and your implication that I didn't know what the thread was about was polite? Seriously? If I ruffled your feathers, then yes you have my apology. No offense was intended, but in the future if you see someone use the @symbol it means the response is intended for a specific person. If you had taken the time to read Unclewunwun's post, then we wouldn't be wasting each other's time with this. Please feel free to have the last word if you wish. I doubt that we'll make each other's friends list, but there really is no reason for us to be uncivil over such a trivial matter. It's 5 am here in Boston so I'm off to catch an hour or 2 sleep. Have a good day sir.
Bah Humbug.
Right Hand Side of White Piece Taker , The Clock button must be tap from the same hand you play . :)
When using a chess clock, are the any rules govening which side of the board it should be placed? If both players are right handed, how should one decide which side to place the clock?
