clearly displayed while the clock continues to run.

Advantages over other digital clocks:
In Fischer modes 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 + the fully programmable modes 14 & 15,
the time increments are automatically and visibly added on the clock. There
can be no doubt about accuracy!
- When switching on the unit, all indicators and LCD-signs are displayed
for 1-2 seconds.
- When one player exceeds time-control, large minus sign appears in order
to establish default but the clocks continue to run. This is a major failing
in some other digital clocks.
- When the 40th move (36 th in mode 6) or 60 th move is reached, the new
time is only added AFTER BOTH PLAYERS have made their move. This means that
the Black player will not get an unfair advantage by being alerted, if White
is FIRST credited with the new time, like in other digital clocks.
- It is easy to check the mode-in-use and the number of moves played in the ‘Pause/Start’-mode.
- Very user-friendly. The vast majority of chess players and events only
use the 12 fixed modes. Most other, seldomly used modes make up the bulk
of options in other clocks, and these only tend to lead to confusion. Almost
all these other modes can be set with the three available, programmable modes
- if need be.
- Very competitive in price.
- Very strict quality control and warranty period offered.
- Large LCD allows readability of clock from 10 meters (over 10 feet).
- Clock warns on the LCD when battery is running low.
