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

The Lewis Chessmen are a group of 78 12th-century chess pieces, most of which are carved in walrus ivory.<br />
Discovered in 1831 on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland, they may constitute some of the few<br />
surviving medieval chess sets. They are owned and exhibited by the British Museum in London, which has<br />
67 of the original pieces, and the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh, which has the remaining 11 pieces.<br />

Chess Clocks<br />
Traditional Chess Clocks<br />
Analogue clocks are the traditional method used to time chess matches and have remained more or less<br />
unchanged since their introduction over 120 years ago. With their combination of simplicity, accuracy and 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 and 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 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 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 and come with a 1-year guarantee. Each clock<br />
is distinguished by its casing, varying from the durable Standard<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 />

GARDE CLOCK £59.95 each (£50 each if 5+)<br />
The finest analogue clock available. Its robust casing and reliable<br />
German mechanism<br />
have such a good<br />
reputation that it was<br />
used in the Kasparov -<br />

match in 1993.<br />

Chess Clocks<br />
Digital Chess 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 and 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 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 the casual game at home. However, they really<br />
show their worth in blitz games and 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 />

randomly generate the 960 starting positions used in<br />
Fischerandom 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 and aggressive took the chess world by storm and<br />
became the standard 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 />
demanded that he clear ever-higher hurdles. Now it was time to<br />
take on the grown-ups, and for him this meant one thing - the<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 the Soviet Union was wired with<br />
paranoia and the winds of political change were beginning to stir,<br />
the brash Kasparov manoeuvred to be in the right place at the<br />
right time to capitalise on the new climate.<br />
Part 4: Hitting the 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 the hunt for<br />
the World title. And when the long awaited confrontation between<br />
Karpov and Kasparov arrived, it turned out to be the most<br />
remarkable and controversial match ever played.<br />
Part 5: Rite of Passage (89 mins) £19.95<br />
On the eve of the most important game he would ever play,<br />
Kasparov sought the advice of legends Botvinnik and Tal. If<br />
Kasparov succeeded, he would take Tal's place as the youngest<br />
World Champion in history.<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 and 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 and train: professional graphics,<br />
engine management, adjustable playing<br />
strength, coach functions, move explanation,<br />
automatic game analysis and commentary,<br />
training modules for openings, tactics and<br />
endgames, printing of games and diagrams, a<br />
database of 1.5 million games and 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 ChessBase TV and play in leagues and 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 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 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, and “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 />
and with what success. The openings book (LiveBook) is updated on a weekly basis<br />
and will show you which variations are currently topical and 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, and 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 />
Houdini 3 from ChessBase is supplied with the latest Deep Fritz 13 chess<br />
interface and thus puts at your disposal all the training and analysis functions of<br />
the world's premium chess program. Included in the package are a 1-year classic<br />
