DGT becomes official supporter of the Chess Olympiad Dresden 2008

CEO of the Chess Foundation GmbH, Jörn Verleger, presented one more supporter of the Chess Olympiad. The Dutch enterprise DGT Projects BV is manufacturer of chess clocks and boards and long-time partner of the world chess association FIDE. In autumn, DGT will supply the required traditional chess equipment for the collateral tournaments of the Olympiad free of charge.



Some hundred sets of figures and high-quality boards as well as 500 electronic chess clocks will then be handed over temporarily to the possession of the organizers. Especially for the Roardshow, being a great public promotion event in regional shopping centers, Albert Fasse, DGT manager, already provided 50 boards and chess clocks even before the beginning of the Olympiad. The next Roadshow date is 10 to 12 July 2008 at the Elbe Park Dresden.


Besides the traditional equipment DGT is also going to produce electronic boards and clocks used in the Olympiad tournament.
