Description
The DGT Smart e-Board is an Electronic Chess Board that has been developed as a more affordable alternative to the DGT wooden e-Boards and to make LiveChess Broadcasting more accessible.
The DGT Smart Board is made of high quality plastic and provides the same great functionality and user experience as the DGT wooden e-Boards. The Wood Print Finish on top of the Board is very appealing and looks just like a real Walnut Wooden Board. The Board is lightweight, thin and ergonomic making it easy to store and transport. The Board topside size is 52 x 52 cm with a tournament square size 55 x 55 mm.
The Smart Board knows everything that is happening on the Board at all times. This gives it great speed and accuracy to record and broadcast chess games live as they happen. The DGT Smart Board is accurate, fast, very energy efficient, extra thin, sturdy with a net weight of just 2 kg.
When playing chess on a Smart Board it records the games, it will log and record around 500 moves that can be retrieved from the Board in PGN format and used on other devices such as a PC, tablet or mobile phone. Use a chess program for analysing the game or to publish the games.
