Tournament Boards are used at Chess Olympiads, World Chess Championships and all major chess tournaments around the world to show the games live as they happen. Also many smaller tournaments use the boards to show games live on their tournament website.
Showing live games attracts more visitors to your website and makes it easier to find sponsors.
Free DGT LiveChess software is used to manage the Boards and arrange the live transmission of games in real time via the internet or on screens at the playing venue.
Wooden Tournament e-Boards are standard supplied in a custom made e-Board Storage Bag. The plastic Smart Board version is supplied in an economical giftbox.
The difference between USB/Bluetooth e-Boards and Tournament e-Boards, is that Tournament e-Boards can be connected together in strings for a tournament. A string of Tournament Boards connects to the serial or USB port of the computer or laptop. Using the free DGT LiveChess software that runs on Windows, MAC or Linux computers, games on all the boards can be recorded or broadcast live.
Since January 2020 all Tournament Boards have a modern USB-C connection. Electronic DGT boards are no longer produced with serial connection plugs.
All Tournament Boards (both Wooden e-Boards and plastic Smart Boards) use the same connections materials as below.
