7. Use of your Smart Board

The DGT Smart Board has many different uses for example recording games, broadcasting games or

inputting games.

Playing a game on the Smart Board records all moves as long as the board is connected to a power

source. The board will log and record around 500 moves that can be extracted from the board and

imported into a computer. The board creates a PGN file (Portable Game Notation) and digitizes your

games. This way you can record your games without having to write down the moves. It also allows you

to enter your games into a chess program for analysing without having to enter all your moves with a

mouse. And of course you can choose to then publish your games as well.

Using the board for live broadcasting of your games allows you to log all moves that are executed on the

board and show them locally on screens or broadcast them over the internet. This feature can be used to

publish your games online, for live-coverage of your tournament and for live demonstrations.

For playing online, against a computer or for online analysing of your games the Smart Board can

be used as an input device. This means that the moves that you make on your Smart Board are

automatically entered into a chess program, website or DGT Pi Chess Computer.

Depending on how you want to use your Smart Board there are different set-ups you can choose. The

following section will give an overview of the options and set-up methods for each of the Smart Board

uses.

8. Recording your games

When the Smart Board is powered by either cable

or power bank, all moves that are executed on the

board are stored on the board's internal memory.

The board will automatically detect when the

pieces are put in the starting position and

generate a new log file.

Broadcasting the match or connecting a clock is

not required for this functionality.

To use this function simply make sure the board

is powered during the matches you play. The

board will log around 500 moves when used in

this manner. At a later time connect the board

to your computer using the USB cable. After

connecting your board to the computer open

the DGT LiveChess program. In the games menu

your matches can be found and exported in PGN

format.

For more information please see the DGT

LiveChess manual, that can be found in the

support section on our website.

Note: If a power bank is used to power the board,

we recommend a power bank with an indication

light so you know for sure that the board is

powered.
