The Official FIDE Chess Set was first used on DGT boards at the World Championship Match in 2013 in Chennai India when Magnus Carlsen used the pieces to defeat Vishwanathan Anand and become the 16th World Champion.

The distinctive set was designed by internationally renowned Pentagram designer and architect Daniel Weil. The pieces are based on the proportions of classical Greek architecture and the classic Staunton design to create a set that is both modern and traditional.

The DGT Timeless pieces are the classical Staunton model in its most common form.

The Timeless pieces are very often used in combination with the Walnut e-Board.

Many chess world championships and most major chess tournaments select this attractive combination.

The Electronic Plastic Chess Pieces are designed as an affordable alternative for use on the DGT Smart Boards.

Made from high quality, sturdy  plastic the set is weighted to create that extra robust feel and enhance the experience of playing chess.
