DGT Pegasus

Discover the first physical chess board dedicated to online play. DGT Pegasus changes the way people play online chess.

Let's play!

Play on an elegant sensor chessboard, on your favourite chess platforms, against old or new friends and without using any screens.

Order your Pegasus at your local DGT dealer or go to the DGT shop.

Use the app

Use the free DGT Chess app to connect your mobile device with the board. The app then links up with Lichess where you can find 100.000+ real opponents.

It is also possible to play with Pegasus via Chess.com, Chess for Android and White Pawn. You can find both apps in the Google Play Store / App Store.

Note: Chess.com has its own app that works with Pegasus. Chess.com functions with Android mobile devices and not yet with iOS.

No screens, just natural game play

After connecting with an opponent, you can put your phone away and concentrate fully on the board. You will see your opponent's moves via pulsing LED rings on the board.
