I spent all evening and half the night doing the following:
   Setting the KDE clock
   Using YaST2 to set the Time Zone and HW Clock
   YaST2 doing a reconfigure
   Resetting the KDE clock
   Sending myself an email to check the time header
   restarting the laptop
   Sending myself an email to check the time header
   check, still not correct
   going round again this loop many times

In the end I gave up. However this morning it seems OK (don't  know why).
Here are all the settings. Is it now correct? What am I doing wrong? I'm sure
it shouldn't be this difficult.

Control Center - YaST2
   Select Time Zone
        Time Zone: etc/GMT-1
        Hardware Clock: local time


Date & Time - KDE Control Module
   Current Time Zone: GMT-1
   Area: Europe/London


The Hardware clock is showing the current time


etc/sysconfig/clock:

HWCLOCK="--localtime"

#
# Timezone (e.g. CET)
# (this will set /usr/lib/zoneinfo/localtime)
#
TIMEZONE="Etc/GMT-1"
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE="Greenwich"

I've been looking for a chess engine that has a +200 BCF, can do analysis
 from a set position and can read commercial databases of master games. Any
 suggestions?

Best Wishes,
