I really enjoyed learning and making this video, but as you say I am by no means 'good" and people on here can be very harsh, hah.

@@hybricechess aha you said it not me :o the video is insanely well made and miles ahead of most of the competition. you got what people want!

@@channelsixtyseven067 they have, but they don’t have user facing apps with integration for common platforms like chess.com. And DGTs implementation on the consumer side is way more unreliable and janky, the Pegasus and Centaurs are a good example of this.

That's what the ChessUp board does

Their app works on both and I recorded this on Mac, why don’t you chill out and have a glass of water…

I don't think it's gouging at all. There's a lot of engineering that goes into these boards, and they're made by small companies that can't operate on tiny margins like Sony can with the PS5.

@@montagdp Yeah no way lol. It’s easy to look up what’s in this board. They are for sure over priced no matter how you look at it. It’s not an opinion it’s a fact.

@@SticksAandstonesBozo do you think that the cost of bringing a product to market is just the cost of its components?

Good question! ChessUp looks very promising. No, I.m not affiliated at all

did you end buying it? wondering the same

How so? Do you mean tournaments? Because it's certainly plenty big for two players to play in real life...

As long as your phone or device is connected to Wi-Fi, no this will not cost you anything to run. It can be used as a normal chess board of course but for most of the features it will require at least a Bluetooth connection (from the board to the phone)

could you explain this further?

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve used it, but I’ll give this a shot. Keep in mind. of course, there is always the possibility that I missed something. But from what I remember, the problem was this. Say, e.g., I’m playing white and the screen looks as one would expect-white pieces at the bottom of the screen and black pieces at the top. It's normal. So, for whatever reason, I chose “flip pieces.” Now black pieces are at the bottom of the screen and white pieces are at the top. Fine, that’s what you would expect. But, as I recall, the black pieces-now my pieces, were upside down. So, with a willingness to be flexible, I simply turn my phone upside down. So now the black pieces have the correct orientation (right side up and nearest me), but the white pieces are upside down. And of course, everything else on your phone is upside down because, well, that’s how you’re holding your phone. All I remember is, at the time it, seemed screwy, and being ADD I went on to something else and haven’t used it in a while. I hope that’s clear.

I’d love to, I’ve asked DCT for review items but nothing as yet. Keep you posted :)

They exist, they’re just very expensive. They also don’t function as nicely as you’d think, the knights moving is particularly awkward.

@@hybricechess Yeh I wondered how they would get the Knights to jump. I want one like in Star Wars with animated horses LOL

Hi there, I can’t speak for the manufacturer. I’d suggest trying it with a different device to rule out a phone issue. If it still happens then yes, it would suggest hardware fault and I’d contact ChessNut about a replacement.

@@hybricechess thanks for your reply! I’m using my iPad now and there it works fine, no more BT disconnects. It’s still very weird because no other BT devices disconnect with my iPhone…pretty stumped by this to be honest.

put a link where did u get it for 171 eur

There is one which does that.

@@shubhamchawla9148 Which board does that?

​@@biswarupdas1861there are many now at least 2 I know

Square off chess board

But how whould the knight move past other pieces If it moves by itself?

I know, I was just mindlessly playing and moving pieces to prove a point but when I hung the queen I was still like….oh….hopefully nobody notices that 🤣
