The board interacts with the strongest chess playing software and chess programs available on your laptop, PC, tablet or mobile phone. The Fritz PC computer program is included with your home use Smart Board connection set.

DGT Pi chess computer

Cable connections ordered separately

The cable connections for the Smart Board are not standard included and should be ordered separately depending on the required use. For most uses the USB cable connection set is sufficient. It includes drivers, DGT LiveChess software, ChessBase Fritz chess playing engine and gives 100 days Premium Membership to Playchess.com. To use Smart Boards in a tournament set-up the Cable Connections for Tournament Boards have to be used.
