Note: the clocks that only support a single time period CAN be used for multiple time periods, but you have to essentially pretend they are analog clocks and adjust them between periods. The Excalibur Game Time II clock, which is the offical clock of the USCF, and supports all the time controls common in US chess, is available for $33.95 per clock if you are buying 10: (They also have an upcount mode and a fixed time per mode mode). They only support a single time period, G/n (with optional delay or increment) time period. If you want a time control with more than one period (e.g, 30 moves in 60 minutes, then 30 minutes for the rest of the game), avoid the DGT Easy Game Timer, the DGT Easy Plus Game Timer, and the DGT 960. The Saitek Competition Game Clock Pro is fine (the Saitek that is not blue). If you want increment, avoid the Saitek Competition Game Clock (the blue Saitek that is very common in scholastic chess). However, see below for another limitation of both these clocks. It is just like the non-Plus, except it adds increment and delay support. The DGT Easy Plus Game Timer is OK in this regard. If you want delay or increment, avoid the DGT Easy Game Timer. If you are just using G/n with no delay or increment, all of the digital clocks available at the major chess stores (,, and, and such) will work. ![]() ![]() What kind of time controls do you want to use? ![]()
