I'm not a chess player but I thought a chess clock has two countdown
timers and two buttons. Each player gets the same amount of time to make
their moves. So once you move your piece you hit the button and the
other player's timer starts counting down. When they finish moving they
hit their button and your timer starts counting down. So you can loose
the chess match by either checkmate of their King or by running out of
time, so you want to be able to flip on your opponents countdown timer
as quick as possible.
For a spreadsheet-based one, how was this done? does each player just
hit the space bar to start the other clock ticking down?
As far as scripting Numbers, it uses AppleScript just like other Mac
apps. Here is one discussion on making a countdown timer using Numbers
an AppleScript:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3248427?start=0&tstart=0
For me, since I know HTML and Javascript I would rather do it that way
but I guess it should be possible in Numbers.

I don't know what a chess clock is compared to a normal clock, but why
not simply check the time? If all you are after is a simple clock,
would a talking one not work just as well, whether built into the Mac
or otherwise? What about a simple stopwatch app (the one on iOS is
great if you have an iOS device)? I'm not trying to be rude at all, I
just don't quite understand what you're getting at. Also, a braille
watch will run you $40 to $50 if analog timekeeping is important for
this application. If you can explain more exactly what you are looking
to do, maybe I, or someone else, can help more.

Hi there,
What this macro does actually would be better served with an external
application.
It is basically a chess clock. I am involved in two chess email lists
that play tournaments over skype. A chess clock is required to time
games, but Braille clocks are very rare and ungodly expensive when
you can find one.
Does anyone know of a chess clock application that is accessible? I
have seen a few, though none of them is accessible.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Hello Brandt,
Macros are not used in Numbers, nor even in Excel for the Mac. So,
no, your macro won't work.
Cheers,

Hi there folks,
I am wondering if excell macros will work in Numbers? I have an
excell chess clock which I would like to use without having to
start my windows virtual machine. Is this doable?
