Is a Centaur mod something you might attempt since you seem to be skilled with doing your own mods? I'm trying to find someone who shot a video, but all I can find is people filming "shorts" on youtube about it working, but they dont film the whole process. I got a centaur 2nd hand, and I'm really tempted after reading about all it can do after the mod....

…it appears nobody has done a video on just how to drill the hole(s) in the board after cutting the Centaur open, but from what I have read, it is an amazing mod….with some risk of course.

@skymantechnology832916 күн бұрын
I'm glad the reviews helped you. In regards to the charging speed of the board, I really don't know since my board has never been lower than about 25%, and then I charge it. It holds a charge for so long that playing with it plugged in was never an issue for me. I hope this helps somewhat. Thanks 😊

I'm thinking of keeping score this way, as I think it will win the lion's share of games !

@skymantechnology832924 күн бұрын
Hi! The king I use is actually 4". As far as the gameplay of the board, it truly is challenging. However, it's an AI board that calculates your every move to determine your playing strength. Therefore, it is like playing someone on your level, just a bit more difficult. It is certainly beatable. I'm an intermediate player, and I have logged in my share of wins in Friendly mode. If you want to really flex your mental muscles, just keep playing on this board and your skill will improve as you keep trying to up your game. I hope this helps.

I'm seriously considering purchasing a Centaur. I love the simplicity of. Just wondering, while I've read reviews of players saying they've won against the computer at the " Friendly " mode, I've read others saying that after a fair number of games, they still have not won any. I understand you have suceeded. Kudos. After several years, are you still enjoing it, and secondly, can you play by taking a piece away from computer , to " balance" the game if need be ? Thank you. . . love your videos.

Yes, it can be frustrating at first to beat the board. However, it really pushes you to work a little harder to become a better player. It's a great feeling when you start defeating it. I'm not sure about taking away pieces to gain an advantage. You do have the ability to take back a move, so that helps. I just played a game on it yesterday, and it was fun and simple. It's sleek. I hope this helps.

Like your good self I absolutely love this board. I used to play chess as a kid at school and I became the local school champion and like so many chess players you struggle to find someone to play with and it just died to death. I’ve had a number of chest computers that were either unbelievably easy or impossible to beat. Chest of fell by the wayside really. In 2018 I develop Sepsis and went through all the dying process but I wonderful NHS got me back but there was damage including the frontal part of my brain. I didn’t know where I live I didn’t recognise friends. Nothing it had all gone Overtime. There are bits there but it’s not like it used to be. I find I get quite a severe headache at the frontal part of the brain it’s like a pressure where the scarring is from the lack of blood and what blood there was was poisonous anyway so I decided to buy this chessboard after looking into it because I realised it played a little bit better Than I played. This meant the fact I was absolutely terrible and had to relearn how piece is moved I could correct it and relearn the game of chess is now the 19th of October 2024. I’m sat in my conservatory having a game of chess with this board. It’s amazing. I also found out that doing something I enjoy. I have approximately 27 minutes before I get a headache and the advantage of this board is I can just stop playing and return to it in an hour two hours or the next day a brilliant bit of kit just love it and if it broke tomorrow I would buy it again in an instant wouldn’t even give it a consideration and like yourself I bought some stickers and stuck them underneath a much better set love it.

It just accepts your alternative move. Great for training purposes.
