Novag Citrine Chess Computer

The Novag Citrine Electronic chess computer has beautiful hand carved chess pieces, Novag's Citrine looks more classy looking than all of the cheaper plastic chess computers, the wood board makes the Novag Citrine look just like a classic wooden chess board and for that reason it is the chess computer of choice for playing chess Player vs Player. One really cool feature that the Novag Citrine has, is the LCD screen. Unlike most chess computers the LCD screen on the Novag Citrine is built into a little box that is detatchable from the chess computer. This is good for two reasons. First of all the LCD screen is the easiest part of a chess computer to break, and secondly you can play with the Novag Citrine Player vs Player without the LCD screen in view, without the LCD screen the Novag Citrine looks just like a really high class, quality chess board. All this coupled with a strong playing level and auto sensory chess board/pieces, makes the Novag Citrine chess computer the only in its class!!!

Digital Chess Clock Review

In this article i'm going to list off the digital chess clocks that are worth buying, i'm going to give you the facts, the features, and the figures, and let you decide which one is best for you. These digital chess clocks are going to be the cream of the crop, for their categories.

The DGT 2010 digital chess clock is on of the best professional chess clocks made. The DGT 1020 digital chess clock is real easy to operate as far as chess clocks go. It's small enough to travel around with and the DGT 1020 digital chess clock is power conserving, it can run a really long time on the same batteries. For a professional digital chess clock, go with the DGT Easy.

Chronos digital chess clocks are by far the strongest digital chess clocks made, they all come in a steel housing that protects the Chronos Digital chess timer like armor. That said, the Chronos digital chess clock is also a joy to use, all the modes ever invented for chess come programmed into the clock, each setting is fully adjustable, and you can have pre-programmed time so you don't have to re-set the time after you play a game. It's crazy all the things you can program the Chronos chess timer to do, you can even program in different sounds it can make! Chronos digital chess clocks come in two styles, button, and touch sensor. Kids like the button Chronos clock better because they like to slam a chess piece down on the clock after they capture it. Adults like the sensor Chronos clock better because it makes less noise.

Chronos Blitz digital chess timers are almost just the same as the original Chronos chess clock, they just come smaller/lighter, and pre-programmed with blitz modes and times. Just like to original Chronos chess timer, the Blitz Chronos digital chess clock is fully programmable.

Dueltimer Champion digital chess clock is the most beautiful chess clock I have ever seen, it is made out of walnut and the faceplate with the control buttons on it is made of shining metal. It looks really good next to the Drueke 21" walnut chess board. Looks good is one thing, but the Dueltimer Champion digital chess clock also works good, it comes with delay modes, and programmable time modes.

I have used all of these digital chess clocks and i'm quite familiar with them, if you have any questions then post a comment and I will answer them.

DGT Chess Clocks

The DGT Easy Chess Clock is so nice, it is simple to use and makes a game of chess so much more exciting. Playing a game of chess with a DGT Easy chess clock adds a new element to the game of chess, when it's a race for time and checkmate it's really an adrenaline rush. It might be hard to believe but it's true, the DGT Easy chess clock is digital, but it's really easy to use.

DGT Chess Clocks

The DGT Easy Chess Clock is fast becoming the scholastic tournament chess clock. The DGT Easy chess clock is just so much simpler to use than other chess clocks. It is really easy to program the DGT Easy chess clock, and most of the time in scholastic chess tournaments the kids are the ones setting the chess clocks to the proper time. That is the main reason the DGT Easy chess clock is becoming the popular chess clock of the day. However, the DGT Easy chess clock does not have as many modes as other chess clocks. The main thing DGT Easy chess clocks are missing is delay modes. But other than that the DGT easy chess clock is the best, easiest to use chess clock made. And the DGT Easy chess clock comes in four colors, blue, red ,yellow and green. The real sinking factor for schools, is the price of the DGT Easy chess clock, it is very affordably priced.

DGT has made another chess clock called the DGT Easy+ chess clock. The DGT Easy+ chess clock has all the modes that are lacking in the DGT Easy chess clock, but otherwise it has the same basic design, but the DGT Easy+ only comes in black.
