The DGT board is very well made . The board and pieces are of tournament
quality. It works very well with ChessBase programs, Shredder 5 and with Rebel
Tiger. I had some problems to get it to work with others but I know it is
possible and I simply was not stubborn enough. I use Windows ME myself so this
is no issue. I bought it at Rebel.

It is very nice and comfortable to play on it against the programs. It is a
perfect luxury chessboard to use for enjoyable games against your friends.

Also it is very expensive.

It really is a luxury thing to have IMHO. I haven't used it enough myself to
really think I got enough for my money but that's my fault.

The only drawback I know is that when you have connected it to your computer the
cables are a little annoying and it needs a lot of space in your room.
