A LITTLE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CHESS SETS...<br />

Wooden <strong>Chess</strong> Sets<br />

Each of <strong>the</strong> sets include 32 pieces, with <strong>the</strong> exception of sets marked with a 2Q which come with an extra queen<br />

in each colour. All sets are supplied in card boxes. The white pieces of all our sets are made from Boxwood. As<br />

natural materials vary in shade and grain, <strong>the</strong> set you receive may differ slightly in appearance. Ebony is a<br />

mature, robust wood which is black in colour. Striped Ebony has flecks of rich brown graining showing through<br />

<strong>the</strong> Ebony black. Rosewood is a reddish brown wood, with a pronounced grain. Sheesham is a very natural<br />

coloured wood, medium brown with some graining, although not as pronounced as Rosewood. Antiqued Brown<br />

or Black indicates that <strong>the</strong> pieces are made of boxwood, with <strong>the</strong> black chessmen being stained to achieve <strong>the</strong><br />

desired effect. We also stock a range of boxes to store your pieces in - see page 12.<br />

<strong>Chess</strong> Clocks<br />

Traditional <strong>Chess</strong> Clocks<br />

Analogue clocks are <strong>the</strong> traditional method used to time chess matches and have remained more or less<br />

unchanged since <strong>the</strong>ir introduction over 120 years ago. With <strong>the</strong>ir combination of simplicity, accuracy and oldworld<br />

charm it is easy to see why <strong>the</strong>y remain popular with chess players around <strong>the</strong> globe. Batteries are not<br />

needed (except with <strong>the</strong> Master Quartz Timer) as analogue timers are powered by a wind-up mechanism!<br />

Pressing <strong>the</strong> button down on your side stops your clock and starts that of your opponent. A flag will fall at <strong>the</strong><br />

exact moment a player’s time has expired. However, <strong>the</strong>y are less accurate than digital timers and are unable<br />

to implement advanced time controls such as increment and time delay.<br />

ECONOMY RANGE The ideal way to get your club up and running at <strong>the</strong><br />

lowest cost. The timers are robust enough for use in schools.<br />

ECONOMY PLASTIC TIMER<br />

TURNIER RANGE All our Turnier clocks have <strong>the</strong> same reliable<br />

precision mechanisms and come with a 1-year guarantee. Each clock<br />

is distinguished by its casing, varying from <strong>the</strong> durable Standard<br />

Digital <strong>Chess</strong> Clocks<br />

If accuracy is what you need <strong>the</strong>n look no fur<strong>the</strong>r than our broad range of digital chess clocks. All our digital<br />

clocks are accurate to within a second per day and with <strong>the</strong> most extensive selection in <strong>the</strong> UK we’re sure to<br />

have something to suit you. Digital chess clocks have <strong>the</strong> advantage over <strong>the</strong> traditional analogue clock as<br />

<strong>the</strong>y are able to handle a wider range of time controls such as time delay, increment and multi-session. Digital<br />

clocks are perfect for matches at clubs and tournaments or for <strong>the</strong> casual game at home. However, <strong>the</strong>y really<br />

show <strong>the</strong>ir worth in blitz games and time-scrambles, where knowing exactly how much time you have remaining<br />

can make all <strong>the</strong> difference! As <strong>the</strong>y don’t function on a wind-up system like analogue clocks <strong>the</strong>y need<br />

batteries, although a set of batteries can last an incredible eight years (based on a usage of 4 hours per week).<br />

energetic and aggressive took <strong>the</strong> chess world by storm and<br />

became <strong>the</strong> standard for future generations of chess players.<br />

Part 2: Joining <strong>the</strong> Elite (113 mins) £19.95<br />

By 1981, though still a tender 18 years of age, his ferocious talent<br />

demanded that he clear ever-higher hurdles. Now it was time to<br />

take on <strong>the</strong> grown-ups, and for him this meant one thing - <strong>the</strong><br />

world elite.<br />

Part 3: Rebels and Renegades (86 mins) £19.95<br />

A close look at Kasparov's career reveals a remarkable amount<br />

of brinkmanship. At a time when <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union was wired with<br />

paranoia and <strong>the</strong> winds of political change were beginning to stir,<br />

<strong>the</strong> brash Kasparov manoeuvred to be in <strong>the</strong> right place at <strong>the</strong><br />

right time to capitalise on <strong>the</strong> new climate.<br />

Part 4: Hitting <strong>the</strong> Wall (110 mins) £19.95<br />

The shadows of political intrigue would threaten to do what no<br />

chess player could manage - to eliminate Garry from <strong>the</strong> hunt for<br />

<strong>the</strong> World title. And when <strong>the</strong> long awaited confrontation between<br />

Karpov and Kasparov arrived, it turned out to be <strong>the</strong> most<br />

remarkable and controversial match ever played.<br />

Part 5: Rite of Passage (89 mins) £19.95<br />

On <strong>the</strong> eve of <strong>the</strong> most important game he would ever play,<br />

Kasparov sought <strong>the</strong> advice of legends Botvinnik and Tal. If<br />

Kasparov succeeded, he would take Tal's place as <strong>the</strong> youngest<br />

World Champion in history.<br />

“Let’s Check” is <strong>the</strong> revolutionary new feature in Fritz 13. Whenever you analyse a position to any meaningful<br />

depth Fritz 13 will, if you allow it, send <strong>the</strong> main line and evaluation to a central server, to be shared by all<br />

participating users. You will be able to find deep analysis to almost every position you look at – instantly. Gone<br />

are <strong>the</strong> days of waiting hours for Fritz to reach substantial enough depth in order to test an opening novelty.<br />

“Let’s Check” keeps updating <strong>the</strong> evaluations with newer, deeper analysis as it becomes available. The entire<br />

body of modern openings <strong>the</strong>ory is built into <strong>the</strong> system, and “Let’s Check” provides you instantly with <strong>the</strong> latest<br />

statistics of any position in <strong>the</strong> opening: how often it occurs, which moves were played<br />

and with what success. The openings book (LiveBook) is updated on a weekly basis<br />

roughly twice <strong>the</strong> rate of a single-processor system. This is particularly useful when<br />

analysing large numbers of positions, researching new moves in an opening, or<br />

analysing a single position in detail. Deep Fritz is at least 50 points stronger than<br />

its single-processor counterpart running on <strong>the</strong> same hardware.<br />
