## Description

DGT Pi is a chess clock that turns your e-board into your strongest sparring partner. Eight different chess engines are included, offering a variety of strengths and playing styles. Simply set up the board, connect the DGT Pi and start playing. The computer movements are displayed on the large display. DGT Pi is a great tool for playing chess, training and analyzing games and positions above the board, using a traditional wooden chess board and pieces. Chess engines included are StockFish, Texel, Arasan, Nager II, Zurichess, Floyd, Cinnamon and Claudia. DGT Pi can also be used as a fully functional DGT3000 chess clock.

Review: excellent addition to the E-boards and Smart boards - I got my DGT Pi to go with my e-board and both worked really well, the Pi has a number of different books opening and a few different engines you can use, starfish 8 is the strongest, have it hooked up to a usb speaker and it sounds out the moves. in the two years I have used this, it has worked very well, started using it with my Smart board recently and that works really well too. I marked all the pieces A to H on the felt base so it easer to put them back at the start of a new game, better than the colour spots. having the pieces on the wrong square at start-up is the only problem I have had. would have loved to have been able to connect the Pi to my computer so i could also see the moves on Fritz but using the Pi engine... both the e-board and the Smart board work really with with Fritz 14 that comes with the boards, I'm using fritz 18 now and it works well with them also...
Review: It doesn't work as it is supposed to - I haven't used it as there is problems with the screen and it not working as it should!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ excellent addition to the E-boards and Smart boards
*by G***D on 19 May 2022*

I got my DGT Pi to go with my e-board and both worked really well, the Pi has a number of different books opening and a few different engines you can use, starfish 8 is the strongest, have it hooked up to a usb speaker and it sounds out the moves. in the two years I have used this, it has worked very well, started using it with my Smart board recently and that works really well too. I marked all the pieces A to H on the felt base so it easer to put them back at the start of a new game, better than the colour spots. having the pieces on the wrong square at start-up is the only problem I have had. would have loved to have been able to connect the Pi to my computer so i could also see the moves on Fritz but using the Pi engine... both the e-board and the Smart board work really with with Fritz 14 that comes with the boards, I'm using fritz 18 now and it works well with them also...

### ⭐ It doesn't work as it is supposed to
*by P***N on 19 November 2025*

I haven't used it as there is problems with the screen and it not working as it should!

### ⭐⭐⭐ Difficult / fussy to make work- by default it operates solely as a chess clock...
*by H***F on 7 August 2024*

As you know, and is not a secret, the DGT Pi is two products bolted together: a fully functioning chess clock from DGT called the DGT3000 with a Raspberry Pi computer bolted to the bottom of it. What is meant to happen is that upon power-up, the Raspberry Pi should start up and the DGT3000 display should show the DGT Pi running both as a chess computer and a clock. Unfortunately, for many people including me, the Raspberry Pi computer is difficult and very fussy to get working and without doing a power-on procedure in precisely the right order the DGT Pi operates solely as a dumb DGT3000 chess clock and not as a chess computer at all. DGT know there is a problem and do nothing about it. Their FAQ on their website is ridiculously sparse and their manual, as others here have said is appalling. Really poor show DGT! This is a complex and badly supported frankenstein monster of a product....although very good when one can get it to work.
