You say it better in one sentence! >Remaining time for White Yes >Remaining time for Black Yes >move made by computer Yes, very important because we have now two possibilitys Move announcements and / _OR_ the display with the move on the clock! >Evaluation of position Yes, the idea! Other information are also interesting: Ply, actual move, positions per seconds But after all my experience with chess computer I believe for this combination we speak is the evaluation the most important point. If I play on the board, I will not see the best move during the analyzes. Possible that Arena set the information per option, but his isn't important because player with like such information can look on the display. Complete other opinion the the evaluation! Here I can not see the move, I play on the board, look on the board and clock. I can see with the evaluation ... I made a bad or good move and can see what the chess program have for a opinion to the position. Same if an other player are on the other site (human - human). Here I can look in the face, reactions and can see the other humen is happy with the position or not :-) ... in my bad English. >of course i do not expect a rotating display of this information but if i press >different keys on clock its ok I believe for click keys on the clock the DGT team must changed the DLL file. But Martin can add the support with options in Arena, like this one: Arena option: Show evaluation Show actual move Show ply Show nodes per second But I say it ... After all ... only interesting show evaluation. Per click on the clock I can see the move number on the clock. The clock will give me: Clock information (by DGT) Move Number (by DGT) evaluation (by Arena) :-) And of course Martin add a lot of other things: Go with the Kings on e4 and e5 = set a result Lift (hope the right English word) both kings = new game! The clock have a big display and I like the big display very much. But not easy to show other information because the adjustment of the display lines is a topic. I am more and more a big fan of the work from DGT. In combination with DGT we can make a lot of things! Example: The questions is to develops a new chess computer in combination with the clock and a PC program. The question why I don't believe that we can many for sell. You know that we have a lot of chess computer fans but I think not enough to develops a big new chess computer. For me just enough to have the clock and the information Arena can give the clock.
