DGT Centaur
Sunday morning I feel like a game of chess. I am ready. This wont be like every other time. No. I got the fried liver attack down. I am looking forward to unleashing the grand pix attack. Forget defense. I call my pal Esteban Enrique-Núñez-García Ramírez-Vasquez-Rodriguez-Hernandez-Cortés Martínez-R...

Excalibur Grandmaster
Just played a couple of games against the Excalibur Grandmaster which will operate on batteries or A/C adapter I like the size of the board and the green and white vinyl squares. The chessmen have just the right weight also. There is a number of levels to satisfy most people. All in all had a good t...

Chessmaster
I like the chessmaster series of chess software. In particular chessmaster 9.
It is a pity that chessmaster opertates on WIN 98 ME and WIN XP. and not later software. I have a DELL Latitude D531 laptop with WIN XP just to play Chessmaster.

Re: DGT enabled chessmen
First of all, it must be mentioned that DGT chess pieces do not use RFID technology, but magnetic coils, in which each chess piece sends a unique frequency to the DGT board. With RFID, a bidirectional data exchange takes place, which is not necessary when using frequency (magnetic) coils. 5 year ol...

Re: DGT enabled chessmen
I'm no expert on this, and others can correct me if I'm wrong. I suspect they'll work just fine after long non-use, because I think the components in the pieces are RFID chips. If so, then the mechanism works by having components in each square of the board create an electric field, which produces ...

DGT enabled chessmen
I have a set of DGT enabled chessmen stored carefully in a chess box not used for 5 years.
Does the DGT sensing mechanism have a usable time limit? Will it deteriorate over time?
I do not have a DGT board to test the chessmen.
Not sure if the sensing mechanism will still operate correctly today.
