Hi

I've seen a digital chess clock on the internet. It's a "DGT EASY+ , chess clock".

I've seen it on a few sites - but the sites that have it for sale are really badly designed - and purchasing it over the web seems almost impossiblw.

2 questions:

1 - Is this clock any good?
2 - Where is a good place to buy it in the UK?

Thanks for any help here.

:-)

Thanks - I'll give ebay another go, but tried it without much success last time. I want a digital clock that does the Fischer and Bronstein controls (with time increment).

Hrm - $32 for the clock, $41 on top for the shipping. Nice idea, but I want something from the UK.

Thanks for both replies.

That's the point of my post.....I'm looking for a good site to buy it from in the UK.
I'd also like to know if it's any good. :-)

* Bronstein delay - when it becomes a player's turn to move, the clock waits for the delay period before starting to subtract from the player's remaining time. For example, if the delay is five seconds, the clock waits for five seconds before counting down. The time is not accumulated. If the player moves within the delay period, no time is subtracted from his remaining time.

* Fischer delay - when it becomes a player's turn to move, the delay is added to the player's remaining time. For example, if the delay is five seconds and the player has ten minutes remaining on his clock, when his clock is activated, he now has ten minutes and five seconds remaining. Time can be accumulated, so if the player moves within the delay period, his remaining time actually increases.
