Fast methodusing the extra queens
For this method you require the two extra queens supplied with any set of electronic DGT chess
pieces. By placing and lifting one of these queens you can make your menu selections very quickly.
It is not possible to move through all the submenus in the menu. To access all menu- and submenu
options the menu buttons on the front of DGT Pi should be used. The fast method to set DGT Pi is
only possible if all other 32 chess pieces are placed in the starting position. The display will confirm
and show the setting change. Please remove the extra queen to start the game.
Only one of the extra queens (black or white) should be used at the same time. Below is a summary
of all options currently available. Future software updates may result in changes in the display,
added functionality and new features.
Selecting a playing mode
Selecting a playing mode is done with the extra white queen as follows:
a5 Normal mode
b5 Not used
c5 Analysis mode
d5 Kibitz mode
e5 Observe mode
f5 Ponder
