More information

Why wengé and ebony

DGT makes the connection in both directions: the page for its wengé USB e-Board lists the Ebony set among the dark pieces to pair with it, and the page for the Ebony set presents it as the complement to its wengé board. This bundle follows that advice. The board, in a dark wood, comes with black pieces in ebony and white pieces in boxwood, in a pale honey tone. You have nothing to match yourself.

Two items, two roles

  • The board detects each piece placed or moved and transmits the move via its USB-C cable, which also powers it. As long as it is powered on, it keeps roughly 500 moves in memory.
  • The Ebony pieces are handcrafted and fitted with felt under the base. DGT presents them as the most luxurious of its electronic sets. This bundle contains the unweighted version.

What it is for

Connected to a computer running Windows, the chess board replaces the mouse: you play against Fritz, analyse and replay your games by moving real pieces. Once Fritz and the DGT drivers are installed, you can also play online on PlayChess.com. On Mac or Linux, DGT's LiveChess software records your games and broadcasts them live. The DGT Pi, the brand's chess computer, also connects to the board and means you do not need a computer at all.

Good to know before ordering

Both items arrive in the same parcel, and the bundle costs 10% less than the board and the set ordered separately. Fritz and ChessBase are not supported on Mac. DGT supports neither the iPad nor the iPhone, and offers no driver or app for Android. The board is designed for playing at home: to link several boards for a tournament, DGT points towards other models. If you also want the DGT 3000 clock, a bundle including it is available.

Frequently asked questions
What else is needed to play?

A computer, or the DGT Pi chess computer. The board, pieces, cables and Fritz software are all included in the parcel.

Why ebony pieces with this board?

Because DGT pairs them together: the page for the wengé board lists the Ebony set among the dark pieces that suit it, and the set's page describes it as designed to complement wengé.

Is the chess set weighted?

No, this is the standard version, at 730 g. DGT also makes a weighted Ebony set, at 985 g, sold separately.

Is the clock included?

No. The cable to connect a DGT 3000 is supplied with the board, and a bundle including the clock is also available.

Does it work on Mac, iPad or Android?

On Mac, yes, with LiveChess; Fritz and ChessBase are not supported there. DGT supports neither the iPad nor the iPhone, and provides no driver or app for Android.

What is the warranty?

2 years for the board and 2 years for the pieces.
