More information

Why rosewood with the Royal pieces

At DGT, an e-Board is sold without pieces, and electronic pieces record nothing without a board. This set settles the question of choice. On the page for its rosewood e-Board, DGT recommends pieces with warm red tones and cites the Royal; on the Royal's page, the brand pairs its brown hues with walnut and rosewood. The two items therefore correspond, and the board recognises each piece as soon as it is placed.

What each item does

  • The board detects each move and transmits it via its USB-C cable, which also powers it. Connected to a cable or an external battery, it keeps around 500 moves in memory, even without a computer plugged in.
  • The Royal pieces follow the Staunton design. DGT crafts them by hand in rosewood, to tournament standards, with a finely carved knight and a felt base. This is the unweighted version; the weighted Royal is sold on its own page.

Play, analyse, broadcast

On Windows, the included Fritz software lets you play against the machine, train and review your games; with Fritz and the DGT drivers installed, you can also take on players on PlayChess.com by moving real pieces. On Mac and Linux, DGT's LiveChess software records your games and broadcasts them live. The DGT Pi, sold separately, connects to the board and replaces the computer.

Limitations to be aware of

Fritz and ChessBase are not supported on Mac. The iPad and iPhone are not supported either, and DGT offers no driver or app for Android. The cable between the computer and the board must not exceed 5 metres. This USB board is designed for the home player: to connect several chess boards at a tournament, DGT recommends other models. The DGT 2500 cannot be connected to an e-Board; the DGT 3000 can.

Frequently asked questions
What else do I need to play?

A computer, or a DGT Pi if you want to play without a PC. The board, the Royal pieces, the cables and the Fritz software are included.

Why Royal pieces with this board?

It's the pairing DGT recommends: their warm red tones go well with rosewood. All other DGT electronic piece sets also work on this board.

Can a clock be connected to it?

Yes, a DGT 3000, using the clock cable included in the box. It is not part of this set, but a bundle including it is available.

Are the pieces weighted?

No. This set contains the standard Royal, weighing 760 g per set. The weighted version weighs 1 kg and is ordered on its own page.

Does it work with a Mac or a tablet?

With a Mac, yes, via the LiveChess software; Fritz and ChessBase are not supported on it. The iPad and iPhone are not supported, and DGT provides nothing for Android.

What is the warranty?

Two years for the board and two years for the pieces.
