DGT

What clock do I need?

See this table of the features of the different DGT clocks:

* Although the DGT 2010 has no special option for a "move timer" mode, there is a workaround to achieve this.

The DGT Easy clocks are primarily intended for private use at home or in schools. They only have one time control. Easy clocks are available in 4 different colour schemes.
The DGT Easy+ has additional Bonus and Delay functionality. It is only available in the colour silver/black

The DGT XL is certified by the FIDE and has the most functions. It can be connected to a DGT e-board. There are two colours: beige and dark red.

The DGT 2010 is certified by the FIDE, the Delay options are according to the Bronstein method, which means that the delay time is added on the clock's display after a player ends his turn. The clocks starts counting down immediately at the beginning of each turn. This is the method the FIDE describes. The only colour is dark red.

The DGT NA is not certified by the FIDE, but complies to UCF regulations. The clock does not count down during the delay time, it shows a blinking icon during delay time and starts counting down after this. When one of the players used al of his time in the final time control, the clock does not freeze. The time left for the other player will count down during his turn, until it also used up. The only colour is blue with orange buttons.

The DGT 960 has the same functionallity as the Easy+, in addition to this it can generate at random a Chess960 starting position. It is foldable and is only available in white with red buttons.

"Real" delay and "Bronstein" delay have the same result in the timing method, only what the players see on the display is different.
