What is a DGT Chess Smartboard - expanding your chess game possibilities

[@ing8404]

Played on these, they're really handy. Much better than manually recording moves for review

[@maitelefever6402]

I al just trying to use the clock

[@KandiKlover]

You can even use it to trip the clock on piece move for bullet chess.

[@LuisRodriguez-vh6fg]

I love the "American Staunton" model

[@warblerab2955]

You know, you would think that they would have watched this video before putting in youtube and realized that part of the chess board was off camera.

[@KandiKlover]

They probably did. It's just a pain in the ass to reshoot and not really worth it since it doesn't really matter and still works for this case.

[@Namelessuser501]

It was planned, they didn’t want to show everything rather they showed the clock etc

[@Noname304y2u2]

@@KandiKlover it's sloppy and pathetic. This man is a paid adult and couldn't be bothered to set up the camera properly.

[@jerikong5571]

Does it have sensory lights near its coordinates

[@bychamp]

It does not explain how the program can be friendlier, given that in picochess there is a possibility to mirror the desktop screen by downloading pgn files.

[@migueleduardo6297]

didnt explain if the moves are storade inside the board or if need a notebook conected

[@dspellbinder2787]

How will i save my game pgn, ? Then tranfer to laptop later

[@Aurelian76]

Hello, does it work on Mac? Also MacBook Pros don't have CD Drives. Thanks

[@fasirahman7405]

Please live demo.

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

Nice. Thank you.

[@pauca2014]

Any electronic plans on how to build one yourself?

[@ChessHouse]

There are a number of DIYers working on eboards. A little duckduckgo'ing will reveal that.

[@TernaryM01]

Can it detect invalid moves? Think about people playing bullet chess and they're moving too fast for you to tell if somebody's trying to sneak in an illegal move.

[@go-away-5555]

Yes

[@digiphot2]

Can I connect it to an Apple Ipod?

[@ratnamani8228]

Need a dongle

[@bobbyb5710]

I want a DGT board but I wait a few years when I saw the clock...

[@yogeshwarpatil5439]

Price

[@danielrodriguez3742]

Does it saves the games without being connected to the PC at that precise moment?

[@ChessHouse]

Yes, it can store several hundred moves that can be retrieved later when it's connected to a computer. It does need a power source at least though so it would need to be plugged into a wall and be powered on.

[@chessdomatio8850]

Wow! This is cool chess tool... How to order this?

[@ThissPathfinder_Twitch]

What if my pc doesn't have a disc drive

[@vishnupandrangi7160]

I wonder how the computer moves the knight to kf6 on the first move

[@ashraftkp225]

computer will not move.. you have to take night and keep it there... it will shows you only lights..

[@rohitvyas818]

Which model of DGT chess board is this ?

[@ChessHouse]

It's the first link in the video description.

@@ChessHouse thanks !

[@lacajitadelajedrez2893]

Es compatible con Mac OS?

[@puestoyiropa]

Good evening, please I need help with a DGT board that fails in ICC

[@ChessHouse]

Best to email DGT support through their website dgtprojects.com. Or contact the store where you purchased it.

[@goldenboy7697]

so whats the difference?

Between what?

Really I Love This Really I Want That Is Most My Favorite DGT Chess Smartboard I Can Connect Plug in Chesscom in It But I Wish.

[@ChessHouse]

That's right, you can play on chess.com. Or with the Pi, or with software. It's a bit sensitive at times, but overall gives you great options.

[@sitiazizah580]

How much

[@ChessHouse]

Check price here. www.chesshouse.com/products/dgt-smartboard

[@jackslater8688]

So this is faster recognition than the the more expensive dgt boards?

[@ChessHouse]

Yes, it scans faster. I’m looking up specifics.

[@jackslater8688]

Chess House Is that because this is USB vs the WiFi models?

[@ChessHouse]

This SmartBoard has a smart dynamic scanning software which scans the differences in a board instead of scanning the whole board each time. It's faster than the regular eboards but that technology will eventually come to the eboards too. Power use of a USB board is around 50-60mA. The Smart Board is only 2 to 3mA. In both cases this will eventually become part of the main eboard line.

[@jackslater8688]

Thank you for that reply. Do they come in wifi too or just USB?

[@ChessHouse]

It comes in USB only, not wifi or bluetooth

[@ratnamani8228]

The Possibilities are Astounding. 🤪

[@cardsigner]

I would advise that DGT use Izmet Fekale's BCE chessmens. Those chessmens, are the most beautiful and serve as fusion between art and engineering for DGT's products raising to the next level. Just like what Apple did. The RPI concept is difficult to sell because the middle class already has Android stockfish, and they are hard to convinced. On the other hand, the few chess die hards could not resist the BCE chessmens and will surely buy. DGT, go back to the drawing board and think about it.

[@orlandorochafilho]

is a tough board?

[@ChessHouse]

It's plastic, you can feel a slight flex when handling it off the table, but so far seems durable and reliable.

[@mt1719]

What adapter can I use to convert to Bluetooth? Thanks!

[@MIRAGEDEALER]

The have a Bluetooth board.

[@ElegyForTheMasses]

A wider budget? It’s currently $447, but I bought my original DGT board for $400.

[@tfewald01]

How long ago? I wish they were only $400 now.

[@skaarlner]

chessnut is 170€

[@123meteyuecel]

Why this Board has no leds. İt is not comfortabel without

[@ChessHouse]

That's a fair question. Without a doubt LED's on the square would help clarity when playing this board as a computer. The fact is though, the DGT board has an equally important role as a tournament board in major events, even the world championships and this would be distracting. So at it's core, the DGT board has been designed without any on board elements that would take away from it's suitability as a tournament board. Instead it relies on two things - display and/or audio from a device or PC in close proximity.

[@123meteyuecel]

@@ChessHouse yes I know. But they could create another Board. So the difference between this Boards is for eveyone to see.

[@ChessHouse]

@@123meteyuecel They do have a new board coming out that shows very clearly on the square what moves are being made - in a more advanced/better way than LED's.

[@123meteyuecel]

@@ChessHouse the Cebtaur. I know. But a connection to a Smartphone to play with acid ape chess is not possible

[@TheAlfil1969]

[@melodychest9020]

[@FunGamingTube]

What ist that for a Kable , to connect the Board with the Clock ?

[@chessguy21]

To display a computer's moves on the DGT 3000 clock . (plug board to computer/fritz, plug cable from dgt 3000 clock to board. the clock with display the computer's moves)

What chess websites can you play on?

[@_dv3h]

Does anyone know what pieces are? Can you give me information about the pieces?

[@DuffmanChess]

Villeda Flores They are the DGT plastic electronic pieces. They are also available without the electronics inside if you just want a set of pieces to use on your own board at home.

[@mt1719]

Plastic!

[@herotrojan1645]

If i used other dgt pieces of wood from chess house can it still detect it

[@ChessHouse]

Yes, other DGT wood pieces will work fine.

[@Glicerol]

Does it work on linxu?

[@gonzodead3452]

Hello Chess House, can i play on lichess whith that?

[@chessguy21]

No, only becuase Lichess WON'T support it. ICC, CHESSBASE, CHESS_DOT_COM, and a few others do.

I think using the lights and beeping sounds is best, the way the Saitek Kasparov sets were. I get the feeling these makers don't really think about details like this, but they are very important.
