Difference between USB/Bluetooth e-Boards and Tournament e-Boards

The difference between USB/Bluetooth e-Boards and Tournament e-Boards, is that Tournament e-Boards can be connected together in strings for a tournament. A string of Tournament Boards connects to the serial or USB port of the computer or laptop. Using the free DGT LiveChess software that runs on Windows, MAC or Linux computers, games on all the boards can be recorded or broadcast live.

Wooden Tournament e-Boards are standard supplied in a custom made e-Board Storage Bag. Connection sets are sold separately.
