The cowboy has been a hero to many a young man brought to life on the silver screen by Roy Rogers and The Lone Ranger.

Whether you are the Chief leading your braves against the white man or the cowboys fighting to protect their families and herds you'll enjoy this reenactment of those cultures that shaped our country.

The new Chronos FX is similar to the full size Chronos chess clock although smaller, making it easier to carry in most tournament chess bags. It has a few less features but most everything needed for chess players.

Doubling as a blitz and tournament clock, it features 8 tournament chess modes, 4 blitz chess modes, and 12 user-preset modes. It has options to save move-times, generate shuffle chess positions, time delay, and adjust beeper pitch, among other things. See the Chronos FX PDF manual for details on features.

Chronos chess clocks are considered by many chess players the best in quality. Housed in a strong metal case with solid electronics this chess clock functions flawlessly. The touch sensor senses the touch of a finger giving a immediate response and returning an audible "chirp" sound.
