In Response To: How to set up an Excalibur Game II clock (aka GTII) (Ken Larsen)

I am a chess player by trade so clocks are pretty easy for me. After I bought a GTII it took me all of about 5 minutes to figure out what all the various settings were for and I don't like to read instructions. I realize that most people don't have much experience with clocks but it's like putting on a pair of pants...you can theorize all you want about which leg to put on first and maybe it looks crazily complicated to someone who's never done it before but after you do it many times it's just like breathing, you don't think about it anymore.

Anyway, I appreciate the effort. I hope more people become more familiar with clocks.

If we let every Tom, Dick and Harry loose on the Select etc. functions, yes, we will witness an increase in (valid) claims of "the clock isn't working properly" during matches.

As an aside if you're going to make a claim that "the clock isn't working properly" you should do it early in the match, like at 0-0 or so, and not after you have forfeited.
