Hi there, here you can see examples how Arena works with the DGT clock XP. The goal is to use the clock not as clock :-) Of course the clock with all the options will work fine in Arena but the goal is to give the clock other information, like the evaluation from a chess program (perhaps the most interesting information). In this example I play vs. Gandalf 6.0 on the DGT board with the DGT clock XP. On the clock you can see the evaluation from Gandalf 6.0 during the game / analyzes by Gandalf 6.0. The clock need around 0.3 seconds to show the evaluation from Gandalf. I believe faster isn't possible. Just a great feature because if I play a game I will max. see the evaluation, not other information because in this case I can look on my monitor. In combination with the move announcements and Arena DGT support I can create from more as 250 available chess programs the strongest chess computer. Look on the picture! You can see the ELO from Gandalf :-) http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/arena-11.jpg http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/arena-11-dgtclockxp-1.jpg http://www.playwitharena.com/common/pic/arena-11-dgtclockxp-2.jpg I config the DGT Board on my 2.67 Pentium IV Mobile Notebook. This notebook don't have a serial port. I used an USB adapter from Sitecom. I hope DGT will not read the mail because the clock have an other function but why not. The system is a little bit to compare with the TascR30/40. Have a lot of fun but unfortunately ... the problem is the strong Gandalf. I can not win a game, at the moment 0.5 : 6.5 :-( Best Frank
