Well,

I was always considering buying a DGT board to play against my computer.

But since I knew that you anyway have to look at the screen to see what is the computer move, I do see anymore the added value of DGT board in that case.

Why not just use a normal board ?

regards

Thats not true if you also have the DGT clock that goes with it. For the record, I use the DGT Clock and Board with a Bluetooth headset to hear the move announcements and never look at the Computer screen.

What is the use of the clock, expet of a normal chess clock ?

The clock will also display the computer moves.

Is it the DGT 2010 clock that also display the moves ?

No, the DGT XL

i seem to recall that the XL clock will also display the Eval for the current move under consideration by the engine if you use Arena as the GUI
i think i tried this a few times about two years ago when Arena was programmed to interface with the DGT board
i dont recall exactly because i rarely use my DGT board and XL clock
as a dedicated ..dedicated chess computer fan.. i of course abhor hooking up anything chessic in nature to the dreaded PC.. but the board and clock were given to me as gifts one Xmas by a well meaning although misguided family relative
