Customer Reviews of DGT XL Chess Clock Red
Erik from Rockford DGT XL Chess Clock Red ReviewPositives:Many great features, fairly easy programmability, plugs into e-boards.Drawbacks:Doesn't program for plain delay, only does Bronstein delay.Final thought:This is great, but if you're looking for a DGT, go with the North American model. Otherwise, spring the extra money and get a Chronos.
