DGT Smart Board | Tournament Use

The DGT Smart Board is a versatile electronic chess board designed for multiple applications.

It was developed as a cost-effective alternative to traditional wooden DGT boards to make live chess broadcasting more widely accessible. Constructed from high-quality plastic, it delivers the same excellent functionality and user experience as the wooden e-Boards.

Record, Analyse, and Broadcast with a Smart Chess Board:

The Smart Board automatically records your games as you play, storing up to 500 moves in PGN format. These game files can be easily transferred to a PC, tablet, or smartphone for detailed analysis or online publishing using your preferred chess software.

Enhance the playing experience by displaying the game in real-time on local screens or TVs. For a broader reach, stream your games live over the internet using DGT LiveChess, allowing audiences worldwide to follow the action directly from your website.

Fast and accurate:

Like the wooden DGT boards, the Smart Board continuously tracks every move made on the board. This ensures exceptional speed and precision, allowing it to record and broadcast chess games live in real-time.

Smart design:

The wood-print finish on the board’s surface is visually striking, closely resembling authentic Walnut wood. Its lightweight, slim, and ergonomic design makes it easy to store and transport. Although it was created with an affordable plastic set in mind, it pairs beautifully with the wooden Timeless set.
