FIDE Tournament Chess Clock
Tournament games use multi-stage time controls: a move quota for the first stage, then extra time for the rest of the game. The FIDE classical standard is 40 moves in 90 minutes, then 30 minutes, with a 30-second Fischer increment from move one.
This clock handles the stage transition and the per-move increment exactly as an arbiter's clock would — when a player completes their 40th move, the second time bank is added automatically. Tap the FIDE Classic preset below to try it.
