Stuff Non-Chess Players Say

I referred to what BigLew posted...

The board is so nice... what's it cost??

I have manners. I didn't want to ask. lol

It looks bigger than that, it's probably the angle. 

Size comparison  That's a 7 on the clock btw lol

Oh cool, yeah that's maybe 16"x16" (= 2" a square)!

I Love Duel timer clocks, Also that is nice chess set.

Yeah these clocks are really nice. CONS: It's not a bar you press it's a button, so when you're down to the seconds it gets a little trickier. It seems easier to hit a bar than a small button. One of our clock's screens got messed up I think because something heavy was set on it. Arghh. But I think the clocks are both gorgeous and functional.  

My clock has touch sensors. Easy to tap. If your knuckle touches the side, it triggers the other clock. I'll take one of these over mechanical ones. It's programmable, too.

That's very fancy!

Only $65 from USCFsales.com. And proudly made in the USA! I really wanted the ones with the hardwood shell. They were $100.

Too rich for my blood!

Oh yeah, my laptop has a touch sensor. It's called a track pad!

@ winerkleiner: $65 is not bad for good chess clock. The one I have will go 10,000 hours before I have to recharge the batteries. It also plays a low frequency hum in the direction of your opponent to disrupt his concentration.

That'd be one heck of a long chess game (;

I think I'll write a book on how to create distractions in chess; my way.

i could see a 10,000 hour chess game. Basically a 14 day move game about 15 moves long.

Lol, you could also inhance the speaker and tilt in his/her direction, but that's cheating.

What about a "smart chess clock", like they have smart phones.

1. Put a tablespoon of water in your opponent's seat before he sits down. The discomfort brought on by his pants sticking to his butt may give you that needed edge.
