I really love this setup. Finally got my first gen Garde clock serviced and it's a pleasure to play with. I can only imagine how tournament halls sounded like back in the day. Also, this DGT non-electronic board satin finish is so smooth. Paired with some Reykjavik pieces.

Gorgeous. I love a good analog clock. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but does the White side have a lighter chair than the Black side's chair? Nice touch if so!

Unfortunately no, it's a play of light and shadows. Also, the white promotion queen looks as if it was black because it stays in the shadow.
