Time recognition from the clock in the idChess mobile app

January 8, 2025

The idChess app now recognizes player times from physical clocks. The new feature is already available in the app!

For time recognition, DGT 3000 and DGT XL models of clocks are suitable. This feature can be applied if the organizer has specified a time control in the created tournament.

For correct recognition, it is necessary to place the clock on the opposite side of the board from the tripod (the clock should appear at the top of the idChess camera view).

To start recognizing time, go to the "Tournament" page in the "Recording" section and enable the "Clock Reading" button. Wait for the board and clock to be detected, and then start recording the game.
