About DGT 3000 Digital Chess Clock

DGT 3000 Digital Chess Clock is a top-tier tournament clock designed for serious play. As the successor to the DGT XL, it introduces a clearer, larger display and—most importantly—connectivity with all DGT electronic chessboards, making it a natural choice for DGT e-board users and clubs.

The display shows seconds immediately on a 5-digit layout, which is especially useful in blitz and time scrambles. With 25 factory presets plus 5 customizable settings, it covers most common time controls while still letting players fine-tune their preferred formats. The clock is also made to meet modern tournament expectations, being compliant with FIDE rules and regulations (alongside the DGT 2010).

Included in the box are batteries and a brochure that highlights the evolution of chess clocks and features information about 16 chess world champions.
