About The DGT FIDE Chess Pieces - Weighted

The Official FIDE Weighted 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.

Although these beautiful extra pieces are for a DGT electronic board they can be purchased separately for the DGT board as well as to add a new style of pieces to a board you already own.

Use with any DGT E-board or Smartboard!
Note: These pieces do not work the with DGT Centaur.

Stylish Knights

I always love the style of the FIDE Pieces. The workmanship is exceptional and I love that it is fully functional with my DGT Board. This make my set complete.

Stylish FIDE standard

Lovely pieces, if a bit light for my taste. Great finish--not too shiny but smooth enough to repel finger dirt. Horses are particularly pretty--some sets have horses that look like they just ran a long race. I would say the K and Q are too similar. I had a beginner get confused by them the other night. If the Q were a bit shorter...

Great Set, Great Service

In short, this is a great set. It looks beautiful, and I enjoy playing online so much more with this set in front of me. One of the pawns came in damaged, but Paul from Chesshouse sent a quick replacement.

In short, it is hard to beat the quality of these pieces - there's a reason why FIDE uses these pieces for its top-tier tournaments. Sure, it's a bit pricey. But this is the top of the line; you won't be left wanting of getting another DGT set.
