Description

DGT Wengé USB Electronic Chess Board With Royal Pieces

The DGT Wengé USB Electronic Chess Board with Royal Pieces is a premium electronic chess bundle that pairs the darkest and most dramatic board in the DGT wooden range with the finest handmade pieces in the DGT catalogue. The near-black wengé board and the warm rosewood Royal pieces create a striking timber contrast — dark and light, contemporary and classic — that gives this bundle a visual character entirely its own among the DGT range.

The board automatically detects and transmits every move to a connected computer or tablet via USB-C in real time. The DGT Royal pieces are handcrafted from the finest rosewood to tournament standards, with an elaborately cut knight and the heaviest piece weights in the DGT range. Fritz 19 software activation and one year of free Premium Membership on PlayChess.com complete the package.

Why choose an electronic chess 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.

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 and track your improvement over time. For players who want the discipline and feel of physical chess alongside the tools and community of online chess, an electronic board is the natural bridge.

 DGT Wenge USB Electronic Chess Board With Royal Pieces

The DGT Wengé e-Board

The DGT Wengé 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.

Wengé is a near-black African hardwood with a fine, straight grain that gives this board the most dramatic visual character in the DGT wooden range. Where the walnut and rosewood boards lead with warmth, the wengé board leads with depth and contrast. Against the warm rosewood tone of the Royal pieces, the dark wengé squares create a playing surface with a visual tension that makes this bundle one of the most distinctive setups in the full DGT range.

The board connects via USB-C to any computer or tablet, with the 1.8-metre cable included in the gift box. The DGT3000 chess clock can be connected via the included clock cable, and the board is fully compatible with the DGT Pi chess computer. Browse the full DGT collection at Sterling Chess to compare all available bundles.

The DGT Royal pieces

The Royal pieces are the premium tier of the DGT handmade wooden piece range — crafted from the finest rosewood in warm brown tones with an elaborately cut knight that reflects the skill applied to every set. The design follows the classic Staunton style, executed in rosewood with a richness and depth that gives each piece a warm, confident presence on the dark wengé board.

Against the near-black wengé squares, the warm rosewood pieces are immediately and clearly visible — an unexpected but highly effective contrast that makes the playing surface easy to read while giving the set a visual character that no same-timber pairing can replicate.

The Royal pieces are available in two variants:

Regular (760g total set weight) — the heaviest regular option in the DGT range, with a natural rosewood character and confident handling weight suited to extended home play.

Weighted (1000g total set weight) — the heaviest piece set across the entire DGT range. The preferred choice for players who want maximum piece weight and authority in hand.

Both variants include four queens — two per colour — ensuring a replacement is always available during promotion without interrupting play.

Wengé and Royal: a dramatic timber contrast

The Rosewood bundle with Royal pieces pairs board and pieces in the same timber for material coherence. The Wengé and Royal bundle takes the opposite approach — the near-black wengé board and the warm rosewood pieces are as far apart tonally as any pairing in the DGT range, and the contrast between them is the defining character of this bundle.

For players and collectors who want an electronic chess setup that is visually distinctive rather than quietly coherent, the Wengé and Royal combination is the most compelling option in the full DGT wooden board range.

Fritz 19 and PlayChess.com

The bundle includes a Fritz 19 software activation key and one year of free Premium Membership on PlayChess.com. 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. PlayChess.com is the online chess platform hosted by ChessBase, with games played physically on the wengé board transmitted automatically to the online game.

 DGT Wenge USB Electronic Chess Board With Royal Pieces

Our expert take

The DGT Wengé USB Electronic Chess Board with Royal Pieces is a genuinely striking bundle. The contrast between the near-black wengé board and the warm rosewood Royal pieces is visually arresting in a way that the same-timber pairings are not, and the Royal pieces themselves are the finest in the DGT catalogue by every measure. For players who want an electronic chess setup with a strong and distinctive aesthetic alongside the full DGT performance and software package, this is the most visually compelling option we carry at Sterling Chess.

Frequently asked questions
How does the wengé and Royal pairing differ from the rosewood and Royal pairing?

Both use the same DGT Royal pieces and the same electronic specifications and software bundle. The difference is the board timber. The Rosewood bundle pairs rosewood board and rosewood pieces for material coherence and warmth. The Wengé bundle pairs the near-black wengé board with the warm rosewood pieces for a bold, contrasting aesthetic. The choice comes down to whether you prefer timber harmony or timber contrast.

What are the Royal pieces made from?

The Royal pieces are handmade from the finest rosewood in warm brown tones, with an elaborately cut knight and felt bases. They are the premium tier of the DGT wooden piece range, handcrafted to tournament standards with perfect balance and the heaviest weights across the DGT range.

Will this product work with my carWhat is the difference between the regular and weighted Royal pieces??

Both share the same rosewood construction and elaborately cut knight. The regular set weighs 760g; the weighted set weighs 1000g — the heaviest option in the DGT piece range. Both include four queens — two per colour.

How does the wengé board compare to the walnut and rosewood boards?

All three wooden boards share identical electronic specifications and software bundles. Walnut is warm and classic. Rosewood is richer and deeper. Wengé is the darkest and most dramatic — a near-black hardwood with a fine straight grain and a bold, contemporary visual character.

Is the DGT3000 clock included?

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.

Does the board work without a computer?

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. The DGT Pi is sold separately.
