It's a relatively loud beep and is really annoying! I don't have the clock, but others at my club do, and I hate hearing the beep. <BR/><BR/>A heads up. It can be confusing at first glance because 5 seconds on the clock looks the same as the 5 second count down on the delay. I remember watching a game at my club where I thought someone had run out of time, but it's just the way the time delay displays before the actual time.<BR/><BR/>Nice idea for storing the board. I always roll mine board side out so that when I lay it down, it doesn't curl up towards the pieces.<BR/><BR/>I had thought about coming to the Baltimore Open. That's my old stomping grounds. Grew up in Ruxton, and spent a lot of time in Towson, including being a member of the Towson Chess Club that met at the YMCA. Unfortunately it's about the only weekend I'm not working or traveling elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>Good luck!Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13747958243702670987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714959169830774906.post-29924681131208815552007-12-27T08:48:00.000-05:002007-12-27T08:48:00.000-05:00I use the same clock and like it very much.

And I tried two other digital clocks before settling on this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2714959169830774906.post-22466424359683584222007-12-26T23:11:00.000-05:002007-12-26T23:11:00.000-05:00Thanks for the tip.
