Wooden Chess Sets A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CHESS SETS... Each of the sets include 32 pieces, with the exception of sets marked with a 2Q which come with an extra in each colour. All sets are supplied in card boxes. The white pieces of all our sets are made from Boxwood. As natural materials vary in shade and grain, the set you receive may differ slightly in appearance. Ebony is a mature, robust wood which is black in colour. Striped Ebony has flecks of rich brown graining showing through the Ebony black. Rosewood is a reddish brown wood, with a pronounced grain. Sheesham is a very natural coloured wood, medium brown with some graining, although not as pronounced as Rosewood. Antiqued Brown or Black indicates that the pieces are made of boxwood, with the black chessmen being stained to achieve the desired effect. We also stock a range of boxes to store your pieces in - see page 12.

Chess Clocks Traditional Chess Clocks Analogue clocks are the traditional method used to time chess matches and have remained more or less unchanged since their introduction over 120 years ago. With their combination of simplicity, accuracy and old- world charm it is easy to see why they remain popular with chess players around the globe. Batteries are not needed (except with the Master Quartz Timer) 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 RANGE The ideal way to get your club up and running at the lowest cost. The timers are robust enough for use in schools.

MASTER QUARTZ TIMER £24.95 each ECONOMY PLASTIC TIMER (£20 each if 5+) Uses 1 x AA (included). £19.95 each (£17.50 each if 5+) Perfect for schools as there will be no over-winding Wind-up mechanism. Dimensions: 16 x 8 x 4.5cm problems. Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.5 x 6.5cm

TURNIER RANGE All our Turnier clocks have the same reliable precision mechanisms and come with a 1-year guarantee. Each clock is distinguished by its casing, varying from the durable Standard Turnier, to the elegant wooden clocks. Dimensions: 15 x 8 x 3cm.

WOODEN TURNIER £54.95 each (£50 each if 5+) Available in Light or Dark wood

STANDARD TURNIER £39.95 each (£35 each if 5+) Available in Brown, Blue, and Black

GARDE CLOCK £59.95 each (£50 each if 5+) The finest analogue clock available. Its robust casing and reliable German mechanism have such a good reputation that it was used in the Kasparov - Short World Championship match in 1993. Dimensions: 22 x 12 x 6cm

Chess Clocks

Digital Chess Clocks If accuracy is what you need then look no further than our broad range of digital chess clocks. All our digital clocks are accurate to within a second per day and with the most extensive selection in the UK we’re sure to have something to suit you. 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, increment and multi-session. Digital clocks are perfect for matches at clubs and tournaments or for the casual game at home. However, they really show their worth in blitz games and time-scrambles, where knowing exactly how much time you have remaining can make all the difference! As they don’t function on a wind-up system like analogue clocks they need batteries, although a set of batteries can last an incredible eight years (based on a usage of 4 hours per week).

Whenever you analyse a position to any meaningful depth Fritz 13 will, if you allow it, send the main line and evaluation to a central server, to be shared by all participating users. You will be able to find deep analysis to almost every position you look at – instantly. Gone are the days of waiting hours for Fritz to reach substantial enough depth in order to test an opening novelty. “Let’s Check” keeps updating the evaluations with newer, deeper analysis as it becomes available. The entire body of modern openings theory is built into the system, and “Let’s Check” provides you instantly 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 currently topical and how good they are. System Requirements: Pentium III 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows 8/7/Vista or XP (with Service Pack 3 installed), DVD drive. Please note an internet connection is required to complete the installation of this product. DEEP FRITZ 13 (RRP £89.95) £79.95! is the multi-processor version of Fritz13. The program will run on a PC which has multiple processors/multiple cores, harnessing the machine’s additional hardware to speed up the program’s chess calculation. Running on an Intel Core 2 duo system, Deep Fritz will calculate at roughly twice the rate of a single-processor system. This is particularly useful when analysing large numbers of positions, researching new moves in an opening, or analysing a single position in detail. Deep Fritz is at least 50 points stronger than its single-processor counterpart running on the same hardware. Give in to the magic of this program! Two years ago stormed to the top of the computer ranking lists, and since then has been the uncontested number one in the world. The secret of its success: Houdini introduces pure magic into the game of chess, finding tricks in places where other engines see nothing! Houdini 3 from ChessBase is supplied with the latest Deep Fritz 13 chess interface and thus puts at your disposal all the training and analysis functions of the world's premium chess program. Included in the package are a 1-year classic membership to the chess server Playchess.com (worth £26.95) and online access to the world’s largest analysis database “Let’s Check”.
