A chess board chosen by Judit Polgar
For this range, DGT entrusted the choice of materials to Judit Polgar, one of the greatest players in the history of chess. She selected this board and signed it. DGT presents it as a collector's piece: a board to play on at home, but also an object to be kept.
Two woods on a 55 cm board
The board combines two woods, maple and Cassia siamea, which give the chequered pattern its contrast. It measures 55 cm per side and its squares are 5.5 cm, according to the range's technical specifications. It contains no electronics: this is a classic wooden chess board, from DGT's non-electronic range.
The set of pieces that accompanies it
The chess board is sold on its own. DGT designed it for use with the Judit Polgar Deluxe pieces, also selected by the player and sold on another page of the shop:
- weighted boxwood pieces;
- an extra queen in each colour;
- a walnut storage box, handmade and signed by Judit Polgar.
Board and pieces together form the Polgar Deluxe set as presented by DGT.
Who it's for
It's a ready-made gift for a player who admires Judit Polgar, or for anyone who wants a signed chess board in their living room. However, to follow your games on a computer or play online on a real chess board, you need an electronic chess board: this is not one.
