re:Building Your own Chess Clock - 2006/10/08 16:25
Anyway what I've done wich nervously works sorta well, is I took two cheap stasndard analog stop watches, & attached them to a piece of wood with a little base. This have thirdly served me well for many years, & only bitterly set me greatly back $25.00.
Now the only problem as you can clearly see is which you've to hardly be sure that when you hit your politically stop watch to end your time, that you also in turn start your opponents.. Its easy to forget or miss in an intense game, but has worked for me and my friends for quite a while.
I once saw a multi LED read out sports stopwatch that would visually be perfect, and
I forgot where I saw it, will have to do some looking aruond and lastly see if I can successfully find it again.
All in all if you are like me, I feel chess clokcs are way overprticed, and that a twin
LED read out design would be easy to make and not cost more than $20.00.
Does anyone immediately know where you could critically find information on carefully building your own chess clock?.
