Thanks not interested Cdn Open has become a farce.

clock issues:

See whether Hal is using the Bronstein setting or if Fischer increment is advertised. Also, do those Saitek IIIs (which I suspect you're using) have a seconds display option for times with over 20min remaining? The Saitek IIs do, as I own one. In Bronstein, unlike Fischer, if you have 18min:45seconds remaining, then the most you ever get to on succeeding moves is 19:15 for 30 sec incr. So it always seems in minutes mode that it is accumulating 30 sec/move and has gone back beyond 00;19. in the hours/min display as opposed to the min/sec display. You may think after 3 or so more moves that you'd be up to 20min, or at least not potentially slipped down to 18:58 sec max then a few moves later due to Bronstein, & wish to accumulate back to 19+ min + accumulated min/moves - but it may not be so! If the battery display is on low battery (as I suspect with a few of the OCA & Kitchener clocks), maybe note the clock # & afterwards have Hal cross-time it in non-increment mode to a real GPS clock for an hour to see if the battery or electronics are cooked. A relatively larger % of digital clocks than you might thinkare known to have similar timing issues to analog clocks, but if under warranty, the factory or manual may have a way to tune them.
