Customizing Hour Glass time OR Cancelling Hour Glass Preset
Once you have selected preset HG, and before you start your game by switching to
PLAY mode, you can customize how much time you want to use for the Hour Glass
preset. When you are finished using the Hour Glass preset, also follow this procedure
to switch to a different preset.
1. With preset HG showing and PAUSE flashing on the display, press SELECT.
Thirty seconds ( :30) will be shown if you have not already modified the default
Hour Glass time.
2. Use the + and – buttons to adjust the number of seconds you desire.
3. Press SELECT to see the minutes.
4. Use the + and – buttons to adjust number of minutes.
5. Pressing SELECT once more will allow you to change to a different preset, if you
are finished using the Hour Glass preset.
PRESET 83: Gong
Each player has 10 seconds for each move. If you fail to move within the 10-second
period, you forfeit the game. (Set the time alarm warning at 2 seconds, see page 18).
The gong time control goes back to the days before chess clocks were widely used. The
original “rapids” tournaments were conducted with a referee ringing a bell every 10
seconds. You had to move when the bell rang, or you forfeited.

TIME CONTROLS FOR GO PLAYERS
When one of the Go presets is selected, the word GO will appear on the display as a
reminder you are using a Go time control preset. This is also true if you program one of
the five user presets to a Go time control. A Go time control is defined as a PRIMARY
time control with a specified time but zero for the move count. In Go mode the move
counter will increment on each players turn, which is different from Chess.
Generally Go tournaments use two time control periods. The main PRIMARY time con-
trol period is similar to the SUDDEN death time control used in Chess tournaments.
