Digital Board for our Students

 

How a DGT Chess Board Helps Our Students

At Sadurangam GM Chess Academy, we use DGT (Digital Game Technology) chess boards to combine classical chess training with modern technology a new addition to our training method from the year 2026.

A DGT board automatically records every move played on a real chessboard. This allows our students to focus fully on thinking and planning, without distractions.

Key Benefits for Students:

• Automatic Game Recording
  Every move is saved digitally, making it easy to review and improve.

• Advanced Game Analysis
  Games can be analyzed using powerful chess engines, helping students identify mistakes and learn better strategies.

• Real-Board Engine Training
  Students can play against strong chess engines while using real pieces, improving board vision and calculation skills.

• Online Play on a Physical Board
  Enables students to play online games using a real chessboard, preparing them for tournament-style play.

• Tournament Readiness
  DGT boards are used in FIDE tournaments worldwide, helping students get accustomed to professional playing conditions.

• Better Focus & Discipline
  Encourages classical thinking, touch-move discipline, and reduces screen dependency.

By training with DGT boards, our students gain a professional learning experience, stronger analytical skills, and better preparation for competitive chess.
