not quite worth the money

The best part of the board is its attractive and plain surface. Its inner workings, however, leave a lot to be desired.

Seems to me that if they're charging so much, they could put a Bluetooth sender in the board that reaches farther than 10'. My phone is good for 40'; why don't they put a better unit in?

The board should have NiCad batteries or some rechargeable ones, or at least ordinary AA cells. What if you're playing where there's no power nearby?

Next, the documentation is in German English and very clumsy and difficult to understand. It should come with a First Steps or a Intro for Dummies.

Finally, the software that recognizes the pieces is laughably bad.

To sum up, they fulfill their promises, but only to the lowest level.

Great Board For Clubs

Bought this board for training and competitive purposes. Have taken this to some meetups and established a process of recording games among players. Very fun and useful with a professional build quality. My only gripe is that it's quite expensive for a board as this is the only one with bluetooth connectivity to a computer/laptop.

Works right out of the box on Mac OS

I use a Mac. Right out of the box, but usb and Bluetooth connection were established on the Mac. Dgt live chess has a software on dgtlivechess website for Mac. Install and it detects the board. Was able to play on chess.com. Analyze using the dgt Pi clock/computer that I also bought. Overall great.

Problems with initial setup, operation, customer service & support

Received very timely. Used expedited shipping. Upgraded pawn severely chipped. Could not use in my Apple environment. Bluetooth would not connect to any devices. Apparently no way to use without Windows. Directions included and on website not very helpful. Contacted Customer Service. Rep not helpful. Seemed untrained, unfamiliar with product. Only had two email addresses for help. Contacted both. No response as of this writing. Really disappointed.😞
