Electronic Chess Boards

An electronic chess board offers the perfect blend of traditional chess and modern technology. 

You still enjoy the tactile feel of moving real pieces across a real board — but now with the added power of sensors, built-in analysis, online play integration, and adaptive training tools. 

For players who want the authenticity of over-the-board chess with the convenience of digital features, nothing comes close to the modern electronic chess board experience.

At Sterling Chess, we’re proud to stock Australia’s most trusted range of electronic chess boards from world-leading brands like DGT. Whether you’re improving your game, teaching others, replaying famous matches, or competing online, these boards make the experience smoother, smarter, and far more enjoyable.

Explore Our Electronic Chess Board Collection

Our electronic chess boards combine quality craftsmanship with advanced technology.

Each board features embedded sensors that detect piece movements instantly, allowing the board to communicate with built-in computers or apps. You get the feel of a wooden or plastic tournament board with the intelligence of a digital engine behind it.

Many boards connect to online chess platforms such as Chess.com and Lichess, letting you play real matches on a physical board while your moves sync automatically. Others come with integrated computers that guide you through analysis, tactics, and performance tracking — all without needing a phone or laptop.

From premium wooden smart boards to compact everyday options, our collection covers every style and skill level.

A Modern Way to Train, Play & Improve

What makes an electronic chess board so valuable is how seamlessly it enhances your play. No screens, no dragging pieces with a mouse, no staring down at a phone for long sessions — just pure chess with intelligent support in the background.

Whether you’re practising openings, reviewing lost games, or training for competition, electronic boards provide accurate data, real-time feedback, and stored game history. They’re especially popular among players who want to level up their game without losing the physical joy of real chess pieces.

Authenticity, Quality & Trusted Local Support

Sterling Chess is an authorised Australian retailer for DGT and more, ensuring that every electronic chess board we sell is authentic, brand-new, and fully covered by manufacturer warranties. We inspect each board for sensor accuracy, build quality, connectivity, and overall performance before dispatch.

With fast local shipping, secure packaging, and support from experts who use these boards themselves, you can shop with confidence knowing you’re choosing a board designed for long-term enjoyment and improvement.
