New: the best chess gadget ever

11 July 2008 15:23 PM | Last modified: 15:24

Never before has there been an internal run on a
new product as we are having in our office right now.

The new DGT foldable electronic chess clock is
such a beauty that everybody wants to have one.

But, so far, nobody at New In Chess has been able to
take one home because the demand from all over the
world has been enormous, and clients come first.

So we have re-stocked big and are now confident we can
fulfill clients’ orders and keep everybody happy over here.

So what about this clock? When folded, it is as small as
a biggish cell phone; quite unbelievable, really. Unfolded, the
display is big enough to read in a dark corner of your favorite cafe.

It is extermely easy to operate, much easier than the usual
electronic devices with their maddening number of useless
functions. Yet, it is smart enough to handle 960/random chess.

And it costs only €29.95! But the most amazing thing is: it is so cute,
I can’t wait to show it to my wife, who doesn’t care about chess at all.

    “Yet, it is smart enough to handle 960/random chess.”

    I don’t get it, what’s the different time control for chess clocks while playing 960/random chess?

    “The first chess clock that automatically and at random will generate 960 starting positions. The display shows symbols indicating in which position the pieces have to be placed on the board.”


Got something to say?
