Selection of chess pieces is a very personal matter and DGT offers a varied selection of handmade sets. The pieces are compatible with all existing electronic DGT boards, Smart Boards and the Revelation Chess Computer.
All sets are available in a regular version as well as an extra weighted version. The plastic electronic set and the Modern Staunton set are only available extra weighted.
Of course all DGT chess pieces sets are supplied with four queens, two for each colour.
Most chess players prefer a slightly heavier feel of a piece when they make a move and all DGT electronic chess pieces sets are available both as regular set and as extra weighted set. Below list gives an indication of the set weights. Please note that stated weights are for indication only and may vary from set to set as natural products are used and the sets are handmade.
