Note that besides the 3 national teams (first team: 10 persons) we raise, we raise another 12 other teams which play other levels than the old FIDE level. The level that is used for the local chessclubs competitions (SGS competition) for teams 4 till 7 is like 40 in 1:45 then 15 rest of game too. The youth teams play different levels. >I don't know how many of you are familiar with the chip used in Excalibur's LCD >Handheld chess computer, but it turns out that same chip is used in the updated >GameTime II chess clock.
