The DGT Rosewood USB Electronic Chess Board with Timeless Pieces is a complete electronic chess setup for serious home players who want to record games, play online, and analyse positions without manually entering moves on a screen. The board does the work — every move made on the physical board is automatically detected and transmitted to a connected computer or tablet via USB-C in real time.
The bundle pairs the DGT Rosewood USB e-Board with the DGT Timeless wooden chess pieces, the preferred choice of many professional players. Fritz 19 software activation and one year of free Premium Membership on PlayChess.com are included, making this a genuinely complete package from the moment it arrives. Everything a serious home player needs to connect their physical game to the world of online chess is in the box.
DGT has been producing electronic chess boards for over 25 years and is the brand trusted by FIDE, the World Chess Federation, for official tournament use. The same reliable piece detection technology used at the highest levels of the game is built into every home-use e-Board.
An electronic chess board sits between the physical experience of over-the-board play and the convenience of online chess, combining the best of both. You play on a real wooden board with real wooden pieces, and every move is automatically detected and sent to your connected device in real time. No manually inputting moves. No interrupting the game.
The practical applications are significant. You can play against Fritz 19's chess engine at any skill level without touching a mouse. You can play against opponents on PlayChess.com while moving real pieces on a real board. You can record and save every game automatically for later analysis, review your decisions move by move, and track your improvement over time. For players who want the discipline and feel of physical chess but the tools and community of online chess, an electronic board is the natural bridge.
The DGT Rosewood e-Board uses the same piece detection technology that DGT has refined over 25 years of tournament and home use. Each piece position on the 540 x 540mm board is monitored continuously, and no move goes unregistered regardless of how quickly pieces are placed. The rosewood housing gives the board a warm, premium appearance that sits naturally in a home setting.
The board connects via USB-C to any computer or tablet, with the cable included in the gift box. The DGT3000 chess clock can be connected via the included clock cable for timed games, and the board is fully compatible with the DGT Pi chess computer for those who want a standalone playing device without a laptop.
The DGT Timeless chess pieces are the preferred choice of many professional players for good reason. The design is a clean, understated Staunton — simple lines, minimal ornamentation, and a knight full of character that gives the set a distinctive identity without straying from the classic. They are handmade wooden pieces with felt bases, fully compatible with all DGT electronic boards.
The Timeless pieces are available in two variants:
Regular (680g total set weight) — the standard option, well-balanced and suitable for most home play contexts. The pieces have a natural, comfortable weight in hand.
Weighted (920g total set weight) — the premium option for players who prefer a heavier, more authoritative feel. The additional weight gives each piece a confidence in hand that many serious players prefer for extended games.
Both variants include four queens — two per colour — ensuring a replacement queen is always available during promotion without interrupting play.
The bundle includes a Fritz 19 software activation key and one year of free Premium Membership on PlayChess.com, two of the most significant additions that separate this from a board-only purchase.
Fritz 19 is one of the world's leading chess programs, combining a powerful engine for analysis and computer play with a full suite of training tools, opening databases, and game review features. At home, it can be used to analyse games recorded automatically via the e-Board, play against the engine at a chosen difficulty level, or work through specific positions and openings in detail.
PlayChess.com is the online chess platform hosted by ChessBase, with a large community of players across all skill levels available around the clock. The Premium Membership provides full access to the platform's features, and games can be played physically on the rosewood board with moves transmitted automatically to the online game — no mouse required.
The DGT Rosewood USB Electronic Chess Board with Timeless Pieces is the most complete home electronic chess setup we carry at Sterling Chess. The rosewood board looks excellent in a home setting, the Timeless pieces are a professional-grade choice that many serious players prefer, and the inclusion of Fritz 19 and PlayChess.com membership makes this a genuinely ready-to-use package. For players who want to take their home chess game seriously — recording games, playing online with real pieces, or training with a powerful engine — this bundle covers every need.

The DGT Rosewood e-Board uses a highly reliable piece detection system built into the board surface. Each square monitors the presence and identity of DGT electronic pieces continuously, transmitting move data to the connected device in real time via USB-C. No manual input is required.
Both are handmade wooden Staunton pieces with the same Timeless design and full DGT e-board compatibility. The regular set weighs 680g in total; the weighted set weighs 920g. The weighted pieces have a heavier, more authoritative feel in hand that many serious players prefer for extended games. Both include four queens — two per colour.
The board requires a USB-C connection to a computer or tablet to transmit move data. It can also be used with the DGT Pi chess computer as a standalone playing device without a laptop. The DGT Pi is sold separately.
The board is compatible with a range of chess software and platforms beyond PlayChess.com, including Lichess and Chess.com via compatible interfaces. The included Fritz 19 software and PlayChess.com membership are the primary out-of-the-box online options.
No. The DGT3000 clock is not included but is compatible with the board via the included clock cable. The DGT 3000 Digital Chess Clock is available separately at Sterling Chess.
This bundle suits serious home players who want to record and analyse their games, players who want to compete online with real pieces on a real board, and anyone stepping up from casual play to a more structured home chess practice. It works equally well for beginners who want to learn with a powerful training tool and experienced players who want a professional-grade home setup.
