15-15 Chess Clocks_Layout 1 16/10/2015 15:16 Page 1
CHESS CLOCKS
15
Analogue Chess Clocks are the traditional method used to time chess games and have remained more or less unchanged since their
introduction over 120 years ago. Batteries are not needed as analogue timers are powered by a wind-up mechanism! Pressing the button down
on your side stops your clock and starts that of your opponent. A flag will fall at the exact moment a player’s time has expired. However, they are
less accurate than digital timers and are unable to implement advanced time controls such as increment and time delay.
ECONOMY PLASTIC TIMER
£19.95 each (£17 each if 5+)
The ideal way to get your club up and running at
the lowest cost. The timers are robust enough for
use in schools. Dimensions: 160 x 80 x 45mm
TURNIER CHESS CLOCKS
£44.95 each (£40 each if 5+)
WOODEN TURNIER CHESS CLOCKS
The European made BHB Turnier clocks have a
£54.95 each (£47.50 each if 5+)

or blue. Dimensions: 150 x 80 x 30mm.
how much time remains, useful in a time scramble!
Dimensions: 165 x 90 x 45mm.
Digital Chess Clocks have the advantage over the traditional analogue clock as they are able to handle a wider range of time controls such
as time delay, bonus and multi-session settings. Digital clocks show their worth in blitz games and time-scrambles, where knowing exactly how
much time you have remaining makes all the difference! Unlike analogue clocks the digital variety require batteries, although a set of batteries
can last an incredible eight years (based on a usage of 4 hours per week).
DGT 1001 CHESS TIMER
£19.95 each (£17 each if 5+)
The simplest chess clock on the market. Perfect for

The Most Entertaining and Instructive Chess Program is Back!
The Master Game broke new ground in the 1970s and 1980s when it established itself as the only international chess
tournament made for television. Following its launch by the BBC in 1975, it became a firm favourite with both chess fans
and the general public. The list of featured competitors is a who’s who of famous Grandmasters from the 1970s including
Karpov, Korchnoi, Miles, Larsen, Short, Nunn, Browne and many more. While computers have taken over the analysis
of games in the modern age, the aspect of The Master Game which continues to make it so popular was the players
voicing their inner thoughts and letting viewers understand their thinking during the game. Each series features all 13
original episodes presented by Jeremy James & William Hartston in a 2-DVD set.
Series 6 (filmed / broadcast in 1980-1). Contestants included: Larsen, Short, Gligoric, Hort, Byrne, Miles, Schmid and
Donner. Running Time: 6 hours 30 mins.
Series 7 (filmed / broadcast in 1981-2). Contestants included: Adorjan, Short, Browne, Lobron, Keene, Christiansen,
Quinteros and Hecht. Also included on this DVD is a bonus BBC documentary, The Lowdown: The Master of the Game
- which follows the rise to international success of a young Matthew Sadler. Running Time: 7 hours.

position you look at – instantly. “Let’s Check” keeps updating the evaluations with newer, deeper analysis as it becomes available. The entire body of
modern opening theory - well over 200 million different chess positions - are built into the system, and “Let’s Check” instantly provides you with the
latest statistics of any position in the opening: how often it occurs, which moves were played and with what success. The openings book (LiveBook) is
updated on a weekly basis and will show you which variations are topical and how successful they are. If you want to know about a particular opening
position using “Let's Check” will help you find out in seconds what would otherwise take days with an engine to uncover.
