(September 2005) Two and a half years have passed since we last looked at chess clocks. We updated our Before You Buy articles by refreshing some obsolete info and by adding one new manufacturer to each of our analog and digital categories.

We were somewhat surprised by the many new models being manufactured in China. Since we are limited in the number of models we can discuss in a single Before You Buy article, we added a new feature: Before You Buy a Chess Clock "Made in China". We expect that this new category will continue to evolve rapidly, reflecting both the strong economic growth and the great chess interest in the world's most populous country.

We also added a few new terms chess clock terms to our chess glossary.

If you don't already own a chess clock, think about buying one now. There has never been such a wide range of models to suit any budget.
