I have a LEAP Chess Timer and think it's great for casual players who don't tend to use a timer when playing. I've converted quite a few friends to wanting to use one and this is very affordable at the $20-$30 range. You can get them on Amazon, just search "LEAP Chess Timer".

Love this little chess set, perfect for on-the-go.

How do you pick up a piece without knocking them all over?

Last year I gave my dad a digital picture frame loaded with classic chess game snapshots and photos from over-the-board events we went to. He keeps it on his desk, and it cycles through the images all day. It’s a fun way to remember favorite matches and moments, and you can update it remotely if you come across new highlights or photos to add later.
