Explore the many applications of DGT smartboards

Just like the wooden electronic DGT boards, the Smart Board knows everything that is happening on the board at all times. This gives it great speed and accuracy to record and broadcast chess games live as they happen. But it has many other uses on top of that at home, club, tournament or chess event. The DGT Smart Board is accurate, fast, very energy efficient, extra thin, sturdy with a net weight of just 2 kg!
