DGT Rabbit Plugin

Can you enter a position using the DGT-USB board and then carry on using it in ChessBase or Fritz?

You can play on from any position which has been entered if when entering the position you place the kings last on the electronic chess board. As for the colours, the king of the side which is on the move must be the last one to be placed on the board!

Should problems arise, please proceed as follows.

•	The position is set up without kings.

•	Then connect the DGT-board via the USB cable.

•	In ChessBase check the box for Board – DGT board.

•	This starts the “DGT Rabbit plugin".

•	The position which has been set up appears in the Rabbit plugin and in ChessBase.

•	The kings are then placed on the board one after the other and appear in ChessBase.

If at that point playing or analysing is not possible, the cause probably has to do with a setting in the Rabbit plugin.

In the "Rabbit Plugin" a box must be checked under "Extras" – "Use Start/Stop setup". This setting is sometimes missing. Check the box and the driver will work.

The position which has been set up then appears in the Rabbit plugin, in ChessBase you have the starting position.

The kings are then put in place one after the other and the position which has been set up appears in ChessBase. The position is then ready for play.
