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.

CHAPTER 7.

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.
