I've been interested in DGT board for some time, but couldn't justify the price. I recently purchased the DGT smartboard, and I'm very happy with it. I bought the version without pieces because I didn't like the look of the plastic pieces. I paired it with the DGT classic wood pieces. They are the perfect size for the smartboard, and look great. The board itself is plastic, but has a wood grain appearance. It looks great with the wood pieces.
I already had Fritz 15 so I didn't use the Fritz 14 that came with the board. Connecting it to Fritz was straight forward and works great. This essentially gives you a chess computer with the ability to use any engine compatible with Fritz. I've also successfully connected it with Lichess to play online games and that works great too. I tried connecting with chess.com, and it loses connection with the board after several moves. This is an issue with chess.com and not the DGT board.
Overall very happy with this purchase and would recommend getting this board.
