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

A 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 using your preferred chess software or publishing online.

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 electronic 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. While an affordable plastic chess set was created for it, the board also pairs beautifully with the wooden Timeless set.

How do you intend to use your Smart Board?

The type of cable set you need depends on how you plan to use your Smart Board.

If you're setting up multiple boards for a tournament, this is the first board and accessories you'll need. This connection set is ideal for connecting twelve boards at a tournament, forming the foundation of a scalable, professional setup. It is also fully compatible with wooden DGT e-Boards, which are ideal for integrated tournament environments.

Each of the additional eleven smart boards you wish to connect to this first board requires separate connection materials, which must be purchased separately. Specifically: Board-to-bus cable USB-C | Board-to-clock cable | 5 metre patch cable | A connection box

What’s in the box?
