Chess Clock Time Converter

This chess board is a clock. Each position uniquely encodes the time of day, to the nearest 10 seconds.

(For more information, and for a live view of the clock, you can use the Chess Clock page).

Enter a time, position ID, or FEN of the board position, and use the corresponding "Load" button to load the board position. Alternatively, use the editable chess board to recreate a position, and you'll get the time, position ID, and FEN.
