DGT2010 Manual (English)

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the DGT2010 game timer. The DGT2010 is the official FIDE

chess clock, approved and recommended by the International Chess Federation FIDE. It is in full

accordance with the FIDE rules and regulations for chess clocks and with the Laws of Chess. It can be

used for all 2-player games such as chess, go, draughts, shogi, Scrabble™ and many, many more.

The DGT2010 covers all popular timing systems and has 22 pre-programmed timing options as well as

manual settings for all timing options. Each timing method has its own charm and every system influ-

ences the way in which a sport or game is experienced. We recommend experimenting with the

different timing methods. It will add an extra dimension to your favorite sports and games.

Glossary

Blitz. A very quick game where each player's thinking time is 10 minutes or less.

Rapid. A quick game where each player's thinking time is more than 10 minutes, but less than 60.

Classical. Much time is given to each player; a classical game can take as long as 6 hours or more.

Period / time control. A game can be divided into several periods whereby each period lasts a certain

amount of time and within each period a certain number of moves must be completed (time control). At

the end of a period it must be checked whether the player made the required number of moves. If

there is only one period all moves of a game must be completed within that time. In the last period all

remaining moves of the game must be played.

Time. Time settings are basic countdown settings. When it is a player's turn, his clock simply contin-

ues to count down. Options 01-09 have one or more periods with the Time setting.

Bonus. In Bonus settings players receive an additional amount of time for each move (typically 2-3

seconds bonus time per move in blitz, 10 seconds bonus time in rapid, and 30 seconds in classical

chess). The bonus time is added before each move from the start of the game. Playing with bonus

time per move is also called playing with increments or playing with Fischer Bonus after the 11

Chess Champion Bobby Fischer who championed the system. Playing with increments has become

the standard in chess. Options 10-14 have a Bonus setting in the last period only (and Time settings in

preceding periods). Options 15-21 have Bonus settings in all periods. Note that according to FIDE

rules the clock can no longer be operated in Bonus settings when one of the players runs out of time in

the last period. The clock then freezes and a blinking flag will be shown.

Delay. In Delay settings the players are given a certain amount of free time at the start of each turn

before their main thinking time starts counting down. In the official FIDE chess clock this Delay time is

added to the main thinking time in the display so that the total time available to each player is always

visible. At the start of a player's turn, the clock starts countdown and if the player moves within the

delay time, the time in the display will return to what it was before the start of the turn. This is called

Bronstein Delay after Grandmaster David Bronstein who first proposed the method. Options 22-25

have Bronstein Delay settings.

Byo-Yomi. Byo-Yomi options are mainly used in the games of Go (Baduk) and Shogi. The first period

is almost always a Time countdown period in which there is no required minimum number of moves.

Players transit to the byo-yomi period when the time of their first period runs out and it is thus possible

that one player has reached the byo-yomi periods when the other player is still in the first period. There

are a number of byo-yomi periods with a set amount of time for each move. For example: after the first

period players receive 5 byo-yomi periods of 1 minute each. If a player moves within 1 minute the

clock will jump back to show 5 minutes. If a player takes longer than 1 minute but moves within 2

minutes, the clock will jump to 4 minutes remaining, and so on.

Canadian byo-yomi. In Canadian byo-yomi a certain amount of time is given in the second period to

complete an agreed number of moves. When the agreed number of moves is completed, the player's

clock can be reloaded with the byo-yomi time by pressing the

30 it is possible to manually set a number of moves after which the clock will automatically reload the

byo-yomi time.

Hourglass. In Hourglass options players start with the same amount of time on the clock (typically one

minute each) but everytime one player's clock is counting down, the other player's clock is counting

up. This is a fun timing method that requires players to move quickly.

Gong: In Gong options players receive the same amount of time for each move. They have to make

their move when a signal indicates the end of their turn. This is a fun option for use at home or school.

Scrabble™. In Scrabble™ options, when zero is reached, the clock will start counting up.
