DGT Centaur Review

[@bhgtree]

Thanks for very nice review, I have just ordered a DGT Centaur and its looks very nice indeed, as you said, its a change from just watching a computer screen. Thanks.

[@sandcat-maurice]

I received mine yesterday! It's really amazing, I like how it plays. I noticed it easy adapts to my (low) ELO rating, and in a human-like way. Really nice. The board is pretty large, but not too large. And to my own surprise I actually like the hard white/black coloured pieces. I wanted wooden pieces, but these are really nice in the evening. Nice contrast. The most amazing part of this board is that you can make different moves than the computer is asking you to do. Ideal for experimenting different openings.

Say you play a friend over the board, does it save the games you played?

[@sandcat-maurice]

@@ConcreteBombDeep Out of the box no. Seems you can hack it to do so, but I have no experience with that.

[@renaissancegamer2329]

Great work on this video. When are you going to upload more content?

[@Jandodev]

I like the light pattern on this

[@keaton718]

Display should have been in the middle of the board to act as a chess clock for OTB games, and buttons on both side to turn on opponents clock.

[@Chess1503]

Rather take a chess clock for those things

My channel is growing with computer chess, I hope your channel grows as well!

[@seandoherty7904]

Thanks for the video, mate! Subscribed. Keep the chess videos coming.

I already have the Millennium King performance, it is a really great machine! The only thing I dislike is you have to push the squares down to register the moves. I might buy the dgt centaur as well, has anyone had the experience of using both machines, if so, which one do you prefer and why?

[@ingejoroma]

you just put the token in the box, you don't need to press

[@MegaSquiff]

I own both..just bought the Centaur today. Surprised to see it does not seem to have an average time/move option. I always play at 5secs/move, not a set time/game. Otherwise it seems to be all you can ask in a chess computer.

[@OKBAOK]

@@MegaSquiffthanks I noticed that too. Dgt moves too slow

[@Albertoni80]

Thank you for the review

[@joemcnerney8765]

Thank you for this review Steven! So what do you think of Centaur now after one year of using?

[@jclewis5975]

Where is the mod? Have you tried? I'd like to see it. Please film the steps. I have the Centaur, but everything is not explained well by those who did the mod. thanks

[@waleedantar4991]

Hello, can I send you a posation for chess and you test this board can solve it in beginner mode , and friendly mode ? the white will make check mate in 2

[@micheleastroboy]

after?

[@christianeborchard3504]

Thank you for the information. I think, I found my new chess computer. 👍😁

[@aristoaks]

Can two players play with each other on this device?

[@chesskastle8149]

Yes, you can have a standard game between two players

[@mihaiMichael]

please,how can the move back be done?

[@cksiam]

All you have to do is move the pieces back in reverse order. Easy to do for one or two moves. If you move a piece back to the wrong spot or fail to replace a captured piece, it'll show up as an error. I found that if you want to go back several moves, it's best to switch to analysis mode where you can go back move my move to see the board set up. Otherwise, if you try to reverse too many moves, the computer is going to keep suggesting it's next move which gets annoying.

[@melodychest9020]

It responds a bit slow doesn't it .. for expert mode I would have thought it would respond quickly at least in the opening. Hmmm....

[@JiriHavlasEFA]

Can comeone help me with choosing? I need something like this from point of view of hardware, but I need much more levels of dificulty starting from completely dumb one with ELO around 300. I need it for my little son who just starts with chess to play and progress through levels as he gets better. Machine even experienced player can not beat is useless for me. But I really like the hardware of this one :/

[@WaldoWizard]

I know it's been a year since you posted, but for future folks reading, the best choice for a beginner might be chessup . it helps with highlighting all the moves . check into it

[@JR_MusicMan]

I have never won with that beast :-) How is your experience guys?

[@breakingbadabq]

Can't beat it either even on "friendly" mode. 😐

[@melomaniakjm]

Why is it so slow in the opening?

[@WaldoWizard]

I think he set it for expertise so that may be the reason. probably in friendly mode it would just do it and perhaps have time left to sing a song

not yet from what I hear though, it's in the works . probably an add on . As of July 17 2024

[@ie2adm212]

The squares are way too small compared to the pieces. Red thumb.

[@bolojang3563]

[@CommutingCatholic]
