The Staunton design in its simplest form
DGT describes the Timeless as the classic Staunton model in its simplest form: clean lines, little ornamentation, and a knight with a distinctive design that gives the set its character. Each piece is shaped by hand from wood, with a felt base. DGT presents it as the choice of many professional players.
Pieces made for the electronic chess board
Placed on a DGT electronic chess board, these pieces are recognised one by one by the board. They are used to record your games, broadcast them live, and play online on a real chess board, without having to replay moves on screen. They work with the USB and Bluetooth e-Boards, the Smart Board, and the tournament e-Boards. DGT sells these boards without pieces, so you can match the set to the board's finish.
Standard or weighted version
This listing is for the unweighted version, which weighs 680 g. DGT offers the same model with added weight, sold in the shop on a separate listing: that set weighs 920 g. The choice comes down to personal preference, depending on whether you prefer lighter or heavier pieces.
Before you order
These pieces do not replace an electronic chess board: without a DGT board, they cannot record moves, broadcast games, or allow online play. Please check that you already own a DGT e-Board or Smart Board, or add one to your order. The Pegasus and the Centaur come with their own pieces, supplied with them.
