Abstract:
A dedicated microcomputer for games, sports and other recreational activities has a central processing unit, a keyboard input, random access and pre-programmed read only memories and a digital display, the read only memory being programmed with a chess tournament mode in which remaining time for each player and remaining moves for each player may be displayed, a chess blitz mode in which remaining grace time is displayed for each move by each player, a rapid transit mode in which remaining game time is displayed for each player, an events-up mode where a time count up from a pre-selected number is displayed and an events-down mode where a time count down from a pre-selected number is displayed. All leading zeros of the display are blanked to conserve power. A warning alarm may be activated at any point in any count.
