Complete Overview

Use the comparison table below to explore every timing option across the full DGT clock range. Whether you need e-Board compatibility, Scrabble modes, or tournament-grade FIDE compliance, this guide highlights the features that suit your play style.

Experiment with different time controls and mix settings like bonus, delay, and periods to create the perfect match experience.

Need Help Choosing?

Use Multi-Period clocks for tournaments (DGT 3000, XL, 2010, North American).
Pick DGT Easy or 1001 for simple game timing at clubs or schools.
Choose Easy Plus or 960 if you need increments/delay without advanced period controls.

Important Tip

Some DGT clocks allow different settings in separate periods—for example, a traditional time control followed by increments or delay. This lets you tailor your matches to any standard, from casual play to professional tournaments.

Example Move Timer Scenario

If you set a one-minute move time and allow two stages, the clock shows two minutes but snaps back to one minute whenever a move exceeds the per-move limit. Players can agree whether exceeding the limit is a loss or if they continue with another minute per move.
