Hi there, either in this case, I just want to mention the chess clock.

00:04.340 --> 00:07.470
Now, if you play online the chess club, it's not a concern.

00:07.820 --> 00:10.930
A lot of these rules are not really of great concern to you.

00:10.940 --> 00:12.530
They're sort of handled for you.

00:13.940 --> 00:16.460
The touch move rule, thankfully, online doesn't exist.

00:16.470 --> 00:17.130
By the way.

00:17.930 --> 00:23.030
They're not going to penalize you usually for accidentally touching up so you can actually change your

00:23.030 --> 00:23.270
mind.

00:23.450 --> 00:26.090
But the real world, yeah, we do have these strict rules.

00:26.450 --> 00:30.650
And one of them, you know, when you play your move, if you've got a real world clock and they usually

00:30.650 --> 00:36.080
digital clocks nowadays that look like this, you do have to play your move and then and then press

00:36.470 --> 00:38.960
your clock with the same hands.

00:39.200 --> 00:42.290
And your opponent, when they play, they'll play the other side of the clock.

00:42.860 --> 00:48.500
And sometimes you're in this tournament situation is quite funny.

00:48.500 --> 00:55.520
When you will see this, I expect someone accidentally presses the clock next to the amusement everyone

00:55.730 --> 00:59.780
when I mean, they accidentally press the clock next to I don't mean their clock.

00:59.780 --> 01:02.450
I mean the next door neighbors boards clock.

01:02.960 --> 01:04.760
So, yeah, just to clarify that, by the way.

01:05.510 --> 01:05.870
OK.

01:09.180 --> 01:13.080
So there's great fun in playing in real world events with these clocks, huge fun.

01:14.790 --> 01:20.520
But anyway, the rule is, yes, when you when you make a move, you use the same hands to press your

01:20.520 --> 01:20.910
clock.

01:21.210 --> 01:22.980
And these digital clocks, they're really clever.

01:22.980 --> 01:27.400
If you want to play like five minute chess, there's a special mode on this one digitise.

01:27.450 --> 01:29.660
It's one mode one.

01:29.670 --> 01:33.510
And so there's different modes with different preset time limits and increments.

01:34.350 --> 01:40.020
And increment is when you play, maybe you do get an extra kind of a few seconds or even a minute or

01:40.080 --> 01:42.060
whatever minutes extra added.

01:42.660 --> 01:47.880
So, yes, the clocks, it's worth getting a digital clock, which is Friday approved.

01:48.330 --> 01:53.220
Friday is the world governing body of chess federation.

01:53.220 --> 01:59.760
International Shack's the acronym Feedin Federation International, Digex Veli.

02:00.180 --> 02:04.280
So they have also the complete set of rules you should try and be familiar with.

02:04.290 --> 02:05.580
There is a PDF documents.

02:05.880 --> 02:08.760
I recommend an election about coming up.

02:09.180 --> 02:13.770
But yeah, chess clocks, it's worth getting a veto proof clock, ideally a digital clock.

02:14.040 --> 02:18.690
So when you practice with friends, try and, you know, be as strict as possible just to simulate the

02:18.690 --> 02:21.330
real world environment of the tournament.

02:22.920 --> 02:24.780
OK, that's how much.
