The e-Paper display has nice smooth contrast which is not only easy on the eyes, it lets you view the screen at any angle and in any lighting. On this display you can see previous moves in a move-list, view hints, the score, clock, and various settings.

Just use the Centaur to play, learn, train, analyze and improve Carrying Travel Bag Included Directions Ready to play out of the box. No assembly required. Review: Best Chess Offline Computer! - I really like the fact, you don't need to download or mess with a smart phone with this chess computer. Also can allow two players to play a game in analysis mode with hints if you want that feature. You can also set up chess problems too. It can beat most players with an estimated ELO rating of up to 3000! Another neat thing is you can use your own pieces, providing you use metalic silver stickers or aluminum foil on the bottom of each piece!! With a brand like DGT your getting exceptional quality chess computer! Review: DGT is the best for chess computers, and Centaur is my favorite in their line - Even though this is the "budget" in the DGT line, it's my favorite, not on price, but on features. I love the interface. Turn on and play by moving. No hookups, blue tooth, wires, usb, computer connections to worry about. That would be a problem if the built-in program was mediocre -- it's NOT. It's superior. It really is an algorithm that learns and emulates human play. I haven't played enough games yet to give a long-term view, (I'll update when I get there), but after a few games, it's just plain enjoyable. My level is only low intermediate. I play online, and I've dabled for decades, but I'm no expert. But I really enjoy playing this. I'd forgotten how enjoyable chess could be -- mostly because it's hard to get together with people now (due to the lockdowns) and online and bluetooth are counter-intuitive when you just want to sit down and play. I also love the minimalist design. I wasn't sure when I ordered if I would. I love the "light up squares" and the grey-white-black colours, but I'd heard it was all plastic. However, the pieces are weighted plastic and well molded, so they feel good in the hand. The board is very light, but stable on a good table, so no worries. It's light enough to lap-play, but I don't think I'd do that, or the pieces would slide everywhere. Superb, and I believe I'll get years of enjoyment from this. I have a wood and my father's antique boards too, but I might just use this board for OTB play anyway. Highly recommend, unless you're stuck on beautiful carved wood board pieces, in which case, for computer chess I'd recommend the tournament-quality DGT boards (but they require extra options to tie in to computers and they're not "plug and play). For the rest of us, Cenatur's the best, really. I thought I'd experiment with adapting nice wooden chess pieces later -- you see a lot of YouTubes on that. But now that I have it in hand, I think I like the ones that come with the board. They suit it, look like their crafted to be together. A word on the interface -- superb. It's e-ink -- I'm a big fan of e-ink. I could definitely see taking this outside to the garden in the spring/summer / fall (it has a long lasting battery! Bonus!) The e-ink is fully readable in sunlight, and the lighted board spaces are LED and bright (there's an outdoor setting). So, everything is well thought out. The interface requires NO instruction book. The only thing I had to look up was full shut down (otherwise it goes into neutral). Powerdown is hold the play button for three seconds. That's the only thing not intuitive. The options are great, and clearly simplified for FAST use. It's adaptive, so you don't need forty levels of play. There is NO way to record games onboard (although you can pause or walk away from a game and come back to it.) If you need that, you'd need the other DGT boards and a tie-in to online or your computer. I use ChessDrop app IOS for recording, very simple! I'd rather have the one button and play Centaur than have to cope with set up, etc. In all, my perfect chess companion until I can go back to OTB live play:-) Love it............... ## Features - Chess computer Centaur is a beautiful chess board that adjusts to your level of play - Impressive looking weighted pieces and on board lighted display within the squares themselves - Engage you in a fully contained, highly-tactical chess play experience - Whether you're a beginner, strong player, home or club player, Centaur will adjust to your level as you play - Board Size: 17.5 x 15.8" (444.5 x 400.5mm) Square Size: 1.9" (48 x 48mm) King Height: 3 3/8” (86mm, BAG INCLUDED) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0837XT83W | | Are Batteries Required | Yes | | Brand | DGT | | Brand Name | DGT | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | No Warning Applicable | | Colour | Black, Grey, White | | Customer Package Type | [Inferred: Reinforced Box or Similar Protective Packaging] | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 128 Reviews | | Edition | Standard Edition | | Educational Objective | Learn and improve chess skills | | Genre | Educational, Strategy | | Global Trade Identification Number | 03830067201853 | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 45.7 x 40.6 x 2.5 centimetres | | Item Dimensions L x W | 44.5L x 44.5W centimetres | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | DGT | | Manufacturer Part Number | 156891 | | Material | ['Electronic circuits', 'Metal', 'Plastic', 'Weighted pieces'] | | Material Type | ['Electronic circuits', 'Metal', 'Plastic', 'Weighted pieces'] | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 6.0 | | Minimum Age Recommendation | 36.00 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Players | Single Player | | Number of players | Single Player | | Operation Mode | Automatic | | Power Source | battery | | Product dimensions | 44.5L x 44.5W centimetres | | Set Name | Centaur | | Size | One Size | | Supported Battery Types | Rechargeable internal battery | | Theme | Sport | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DGT - **Genre:** Educational, Strategy - **Material:** Paper - **Number of players:** Single Player - **Theme:** Sport ## Images ![Centaur - New Revolutionary Chess Computer - Digital Electronic Chess Set - Single Player - Ages 6 and Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xF5Y9RNkL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does it have a teaching mod?** A: no teaching mode. It is not meant as a beginner chess board. the friendly mode is quite difficult. However, you can use the side screen display to see all the steps for that particular chess game. No memory in built (does not store your previous played games). **Q: Does this chess computer come with a charging plug?** A: Yes of course it does. It's a great chess set. **Q: Can i play against a partner then get a pgn file that i can analyze it on computer later somehow?** A: You can play against another person but you cannot export the PGN. The screen does track your moves so it would be fairly easy to copy manually although that’s not ideal **Q: Where is this made?** A: Hi the dgt chess game is made in European union it plays well but has no training mode ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***G on 8 February 2021* Even though this is the "budget" in the DGT line, it's my favorite, not on price, but on features.

I would recommend this board to anybody who wants to sit across the board from an equally matched opponent and match wits. An excellent learning tool. I learn even when I lose! ## Frequently Bought Together - DGT Centaur - New Revolutionary Chess Computer - Digital Electronic Chess Set - Single Player - Ages 6 and Up - Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/229321822-centaur-new-revolutionary-chess-computer-digital-electronic-chess-set-single](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/229321822-centaur-new-revolutionary-chess-computer-digital-electronic-chess-set-single) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
