Chess clocks are fun too!

This week I want to pay special attention to Chess Clocks, I have noticed that many people don't play with a chess clock, and also that many other have never even used one. Playing chess with a chess clock adds a lot more spice to a game of chess, but just as a warning, chess clocks kill the relaxing element of chess!
You will see a few articles and reviews soon on chess clocks that I think are ideal for the club player, the tournament player, and for just people that enjoy playing chess like me!
