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

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

Each of the sets include 32 pieces, with the 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 <strong>and</strong> grain, the 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 />

the 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 the pieces are made of boxwood, with the black chessmen being stained to achieve the<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 the traditional method used to time chess matches <strong>and</strong> have remained more or less<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ECONOMY PLASTIC TIMER<br />

£19.95 each (£17.50 each if 5+)<br />

Wind-up mechanism. Dimensions: 16 x 8 x 4.5cm<br />

MASTER QUARTZ TIMER £24.95 each<br />

(£20 each if 5+) Uses 1 x AA battery (included).<br />

Perfect for schools as there will be no over-winding<br />

problems. Dimensions: 17.5 x 11.5 x 6.5cm<br />

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

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

is distinguished by its casing, varying from the durable St<strong>and</strong>ard<br />

Turnier, to the elegant wooden clocks. Dimensions: 15 x 8 x 3cm.<br />

WOODEN TURNIER<br />

£54.95 each (£50 each if 5+)<br />

have such a good<br />

reputation that it was<br />

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

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

If accuracy is what you need then look no further than our broad range of digital chess clocks. All our digital<br />

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Fischer<strong>and</strong>om chess. The display shows symbols indicating in<br />

which position the pieces start on the board. Dimensions: 14 x<br />

Garry Kasparov: My Story<br />

Presented by Garry Kasparov & GM James Plaskett<br />

Part 1: Teenage Prodigy (104 mins) £19.95<br />

By age 12 Garry was the youngest ever Junior Champion of the<br />

USSR. Back then fashion bowed to the safety-first style of<br />

reigning world champion, Karpov. Kasparov’s style - brash,<br />

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

became the st<strong>and</strong>ard for future generations of chess players.<br />

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

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

dem<strong>and</strong>ed that he clear ever-higher hurdles. Now it was time to<br />

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

world elite.<br />

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

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

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

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

remarkable <strong>and</strong> controversial match ever played.<br />

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

FRITZ 13 (RRP £44.95) £40!<br />

Whether you are a beginner, club player or<br />

professional – Fritz has everything you could<br />

want including: automatically adjusting playing<br />

strength, coaching functions, explanation of<br />

positions, game analysis <strong>and</strong> a database of<br />

over 1.5 million games! Used by the world’s<br />

greatest players, including Garry Kasparov, the<br />

redesigned Fritz interface gives you instant<br />

access to all the most important functions.<br />

Fritz 13 offers chess players everything they<br />

need to study <strong>and</strong> train: professional graphics,<br />

engine management, adjustable playing<br />

strength, coach functions, move explanation,<br />

automatic game analysis <strong>and</strong> commentary,<br />

training modules for openings, tactics <strong>and</strong><br />

endgames, printing of games <strong>and</strong> diagrams, a<br />

database of 1.5 million games <strong>and</strong> hours of<br />

video lessons. Also includes six months<br />

premium membership to the world’s largest chess server: Playchess.com (worth £40) enabling you to follow<br />

major tournaments live with GM commentary, receive live training, play in simultaneous exhibitions against<br />

top GMs, watch <strong>Chess</strong>Base TV <strong>and</strong> play in leagues <strong>and</strong> tournaments. Internet connection required.<br />

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

depth Fritz 13 will, if you allow it, send the main line <strong>and</strong> 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 the days of waiting hours for Fritz to reach substantial enough depth in order to test an opening novelty.<br />

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

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

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

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

<strong>and</strong> will show you which variations are currently topical <strong>and</strong> how good they are.<br />

System Requirements: Pentium III 1 GHz, 512 MB RAM, Windows 8/7/Vista or XP (with Service<br />

Pack 3 installed), DVD drive. Please note an internet connection is required to complete the<br />

installation of this product.<br />

DEEP FRITZ 13 (RRP £89.95) £79.95! is the multi-processor version of Fritz13.<br />

The program will run on a PC which has multiple processors/multiple cores,<br />

harnessing the machine’s additional hardware to speed up the program’s chess<br />

calculation. Running on an Intel Core 2 duo system, Deep Fritz will calculate at<br />

roughly twice the 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 the same hardware.<br />

Give in to the magic of this program! Two years ago Houdini stormed to the top of<br />

the computer ranking lists, <strong>and</strong> since then has been the uncontested number one<br />

chess engine in the world. The secret of its success: Houdini introduces pure magic<br />

into the game of chess, finding tricks in places where other engines see nothing!<br />
