Hi Alan,

I do not own a DGT board but from what I have read it is an overpriced tool to
record games.
And it is good at that. The move recognition problem has been there from the
start. Specially can be problematic when the moves are made quickly.

Since it has no lights on it you have to look at the screen or try to listen to
the voice announcement. if I am doing that might as well play on a regular
chessboard and do the moves manually. pain in blitz but in log time controls
does not bother me.

I got a Saitek Autobord which is a smaller version od DGT with no bells and
whistles. but it has lights on the squares. The problem is very few programs
support it mainly old versions of rebel for dos (mainly buggy if I switch sides
and turn the board around) Chess Genius 3.0 is the only program works with it
perfectly.

As for your DGT I am assuming you are using chessbase with it. you might want to
try different drivers for the board if any are out there.

Good luck

Murat...
