More information

Extra weight, same design

This weighted version follows the Modern Staunton to the letter: the same silhouette, the same wooden pieces shaped by hand, the same felt underneath. Only the weight changes. The unweighted version weighs 830 g for the complete set; this one is heavier. You feel it with every move: the piece weighs more between your fingers and settles onto its square with more substance. Both versions work on the same DGT boards, so the choice comes down to feel alone.

The Modern Staunton in brief

DGT designed this model to give the chess piece a modern standard. The design is registered by the brand. It combines clean edges with softened curves, in a silhouette that remains true to the Staunton, and DGT describes it as pleasant and familiar in hand. The knight, with its faceted head, is the most recognisable piece.

With a DGT electronic chess board

The board detects each piece and follows the game move by move. This lets you record your games, stream them live and play online while moving real pieces. This set sits on a USB or Bluetooth e-Board, a Smart Board or a tournament e-Board. On the walnut e-Board, DGT lists the Modern Staunton among the light pieces that suit it.

Good to know

The set is sold without a board: without a DGT e-Board or Smart Board, it transmits no moves. The Pegasus and the Centaur come with their own pieces. The exact weight of this version is not yet stated on this page: DGT publishes two different figures for a weighted Modern Staunton, and we are awaiting confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
Can these pieces be used without an electronic chess board?

Not for the electronic features. Only a DGT electronic chess board, sold separately, records moves: USB, Bluetooth or tournament e-Board, or Smart Board.

What differs from the unweighted version?

Only the weight: this set is heavier than the unweighted version, which weighs 830 g (DGT 27012). The design and compatible boards are the same.

Which e-Board should I choose for this set?

DGT lists the Modern Staunton among the light pieces that suit the walnut e-Board. The set also works on the wenge and rosewood boards, the Smart Board and tournament e-Boards.

Is the design unique to DGT?

Yes. The Modern Staunton is a model registered by DGT, designed as a modern take on the Staunton.

What is the warranty?

2 years.
