Setting Chronos Clock

All Things Chess

How do I set the Chronos to the following time control

40/90, SD/30 (+30 seconds increment for all moves)

Thank you

I assume you’re playing in a tournament this morning and are looking for a quick answer. Unfortunately, my own Chronos is a very old model (ca 1996, with a switch on the bottom) and it supports increment only as a single time control.

So I’m hoping somebody else will see this, quickly, and give you a better answer.

If not, try the various CH-Pn modes. I believe that CH-P5 (on the newer models) is for one control only. So try CH-P6, CH-P7, etc.

OTOH, some of the very recent models may have drastically changed the names of all the modes, so you may still be out of luck.

Or, RTFM. You do have the manual, don’t you?

CH-P6 will work. It doesn’t have a move counter, but you’re probably better off without one.

Thanks for the input

CH-P6 looks like the way to go.

I have the manual, but could not find a way to have move count as well.

Ken Ballou wrote up instructions for my website to answer this very question.

Depending on how old your Chronos is it might have an option for two controls with increment and a clock press counter. See near the end (page 56) of the Chronos user’s guide: is.gd/NXjGqB

Description:
These are progressive modes similar to CH - P6 and CH - P7, but with the addition of move counters.
PR - C1 has two time-controls. The move number is omitted in the second time control since you must play all of the rest of your moves before your time runs out.
PR - C1A is similar, except for this feature: the display of a running clock will always show the time in hours, minutes, and seconds (instead of showing only hours and minutes when the time is greater than ten minutes). To make room for the full time, the move number is not shown on the running clock, although the move number on the opponent’s clock, of course, is still shown.
PR - C1B shows the move counter at all times, that is, in both time-controls.

Did you get to use your clock?
