DGT Revelation II Chess Tips Saving and Replaying Games, Setting Up Positions and More

[@drdennismarketing5924]

Great job Raphael...and thank you for using my victory in the discovered/double check example of the "set up:" function (3min 50 sec,). I love this machine and cherish that victory at 600 sec./move). Thanks again for this excellent tutorial ,,Dr, Dennis

[@kosterix123]

Sweet sounds, beautiful pieces, good sensors. Want one too! unfortunately it costs a fortune.

[@Nathan411466]

Sticker shock. I thought it would around $400 or $500, not $3500! Now I have to decide between getting this or a used Chevy pickup truck. Tough decision.

[@josepuga5529]

Nice question... LOL!.

[@adishesh28]

I could actually open a chess club here in India for 3500 dollars and play a lot of players. Did I mention that I can buy 400 premium quality FIDE standard chess sets and almost make 1500 dollars profit from it?

[@followyourpassion8378]

You explained it well, but the menu system seems a little awkward. That is an awful lot of button-pushing just to save a game. I am still deciding whether to get one. Is the UI improved with the Anniversary Edition?

[@StopFear]

What is the reasoning behind making it look like it was made in the 70s when it was 2016 at the moment of the video release?

[@VulcanOnWheels]

I can't say I like their decision to use Clear to confirm something. Did you make another video about this board?

[@SurenAghabekyan]

looks like that sensors are working really well

[@ChessHouse]

Yes the sensors are very fast and accurate

[@GRBtutorials]

Interesting, but it's almost 3000 € (!), and you still have to move the pieces! For that price, I'd have expected a fully automated board!

[@TinTownKing]

Hahaha this is exactly why I youtubed this board

[@arthurgiffart]

J'achèterai cet ordinateur d'échec, lorsque que celui-ci n'aura pas besoin d'être branché sur la prise secteur. J'ai plusieurs Mephisto Exclusive, un Scisys Leonardo, un Saitek Renaissance. Tous permettent l'utilisation de pile ronde. Et je peut jouer sur une table dans le fond du jardin, ou n'importe dans la maison sans prise de courant. C'est le minimum. Merci pour la vidéo !

[@kwaicaine1417]

where can I purchase this computer? How much is it?

[@leilee203]

Can you use any chess pieces in your collection, or does it have to be special kinds?

[@ChessHouse]

+Leilee DGT pieces use special embedded electronic chips to achieve this functionality, so the variety of pieces is limited to the five or so chess piece styles they offer.

[@leilee203]

+Chess House Makes it just slightly less attractive though But it's a wonderful board... wouldn't mind me one of those. But looking at the few sets of pices available from DGT... Strange they don't offer at least the official FIDE set as one of them...

[@osapersonaltraining3798]

can i upload saved game onto computer?

[@EngineVSEngine]

I don't see anything about the system to justify the different in price compared to a regular DGT chess board. I mean the display is nice I guess, but if I am playing against an engine on my PC I can see all that analyst stuff anyway. Seems like $1,500 would be a more realistic price.

[@ChessHouse]

It's capable of more than any computer on the market. It's rather robust in features and then some.

[@EngineVSEngine]

@@ChessHouse Ok, can you give an example of what it can do that you can't via a normal dgt board and pc? The pieces look like the identical thing I bought with my dgt bluetooth board.

[@guillemot371]

la mejor maquina de Ajedrez

[@michaelbauers8800]

I love the retro look. Can't justify the price, but if I was wealthy, I would not mind owning this.

[@raymondsimmons2282]

Yeah That Nice DGT Relation II Chess But Do You Player VS Computer? Let Me Know Ok.

[@ChessHouse]

Yes it's for player vs computer

[@raymondsimmons2282]

Yeah I will thanks.

[@juergenkarlpagel5027]

Klasse, aber wo in Berlin?!

[@Mirror245]

I want this

[@sergioortiz8219]

This seems way overpriced when you can get basically the same thing with the Bluetooth board and the Raspberry Pi clock for 2000 less.

[@tracymiller1149]

Where can I buy one of those?

[@sergioortiz8219]

on the DGT site if you're in Europe. If not, your best bet is to look for a local supplier.

[@alnusypinus]

Por el precio, las piezas deberían moverse solas y el mecanismo ser completamente metálico.

[@steliosioannou4996]

-4.21 means that black wins in the chess language,i cant believe that a so expensive computer has other meanings.

[@chessacademy1418]

its amzin chess set i like it enjoy with it

[@martinvalt9788]

What a catastrophic menu system and ugly display just like anno 1985!!

[@ChessHouse]

I know, why not make it full color and touch screen =)

[@martinvalt9788]

Yes exactly, Pevatronic's Grandmaster Chess Computer is the way to go...

[@ChessHouse]

Which one is that?

[@hotwheelz3010]

I like the retro look

[@borjaoxadrez3490]

This has a good reason: it's much more RELIABLE! A modern touch-screen would not last long. This is made to last 20+ years.

[@paullacourse8125]

What chess engine does it employ?

[@ChessHouse]

The default current engines are Stockfish 6, Rybka 2.2, Shredder 12.1, Hiarcs 14.1, Baron, 1.0, Toga 1.0, Toga 1.2, Ruffian 2.1, Fruit 2.1, Fruit 2.5

[@hamishmcpenguin603]

Grotesque looking knights

[@MrSupernova111]

Beautiful chess computer. But I don't like that oversized knight. Makes the rook look small. lol

[@ChessHouse]

Yeah it does. Those royal pieces aren't the only ones you can use with it. There are better designs.

[@jp32123]

u are one rich man to be able to afford that

[@tomlaskar4226]

The computer is thinking.

[@gamingholland952]

Playing Nf3 en e4-5 in de Caro Kann means you know nothing about theory

[@arkadiuszjandylewski152]

A terrible machine that is way overpriced. You can play chess on your pc and move the pieces on the board.

[@michaelbauers8800]

Your post was so important, I see you made it twice :) Clearly, you are not the market for this board. But to point out one advantage to a dedicated board, you don't have to look at your PC or phone. And in your other comment you said something kinda weird. It's not normally relevant that the PC plays better chess. It simply needs to be as good or a bit better than the person playing it. There's also the concept of aesthetics, but apparently you disavow any knowledge of that being a factor.

[@JohnDoe-cb1hj]

$3,500 for something you can do with a normal chess board and a cell phone. This is for people with a lot of money and very little sense.

[@ChessHouse]

+John Doe given the choice, would you ride a bicycle to work or a Tesla? For those who are fascinated by these things it's an option.

[@CrookedNose2131]

Great - more time spent staring the screen of a phone. As if we don't spend enough time doing that already.

[@jeffarab4947]

Lol i play with chess on my phone but use the board i hate looking at phone too long i need the chess set i move for my opponent

[@scott31312]

Most the time people that make a lot of money have a lot of sense. I like to be thankful that they are blessed when I see that people have been blessed to be able to afford such luxuries.

[@StopFear]

I totally agree. It is kind of morally irresponsible to spend that much money for something you literally have in your pocket. This is not equivalent to bicycle vs tesla. For one those would me a mode of transportation and you'd be comparing a cheaper car to testla, not bicycle to tesla. You'd also think for that price the screen would not be monochromatic.

[@benjamintoledano1188]

3000€ to get a screen and interface settings that reminds 1995 best inventions! I mean what ths shitty green screen??? It's impossible to read, so many clicks to get different options, no evolution from the chess engine so I'm guessing it's a lazy stockfish when alphazero is revolutionizing chess analysis.... And also why it's SO FAT? honestly... 3000€ It's a joke!

[@CalCap]

lol listen to all the poor people moaning about the price.
