Just a quick comparison. A similar configuration in the DGT and Millennium 2000 webshops would look like this: DGT = 1260€ - eboard Bluetooth Wenge (incl. battery & bluetooth) - Classic pieces - DGT PI Millennium = 1216€ - Supreme Tournament 55 (incl. pieces) - Chess Classics Element - ChessLink (bluetooth) - ChessVolt (battery pack) Pro DGT: - better quality board and pieces - different piece sets available Con DGT: - you would still need to plug in your DGT Pi or buy a separate powerbank - to make online play work requires time and tech skills - cumbersome user interface DGT Pi - no chessboard field LEDs Pro Millennium: - great user experience online and offline - very reliable and fast piece recognition - ChessVolt powers module and board Con Millennium: - multiple units and cables - board and pieces not quite as good Check out the comparison chart at the end of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWbdqqete62ahrc

Thank you for using BearChess 🙂

Thank you so much for BearChess!!! I really like it, as it opens up so many possibilities, easy integration of the retro emulations just being one of them. Especially as an owner of many boards from different brands, BearChess is indispensable.

Bonjour, je trouve l'échiquier de droite magnifique, il ressemble au DGT USB en wengué que je possède avec les pièces classiques. Les 2 échiquiers sont superbes et le plaisir de jouer sur ce matériel doit être fort. C'est une bien belle vidéo de démonstration, bravo!👍

[@followyourpassion8378]

Merci beaucoup, Philippe! Jouer avec cet échiquier est très satisfaisant et fonctionne très bien. Le Supreme 55 avec Chess Classics Element est en vente dès maintenant au prix de 799€ sur computerchess.com. Je ne suis pas affilié. J'aime seulement les ordinateurs d'échecs. Edit: oups, la campagne semble être terminée depuis hier (5/5/2024).

@@followyourpassion8378 Je comprends ,il y a de quoi être comblé. J'avais le "Portachess" puis le "chess partner" et enfin le "GK 2100" que je possède toujours , mais je préfère jouer avec des pièces en bois sur des échiquiers en bois.

​@@philippedewas7041 Le Saitek GK2000 a été le premier ordinateur d’échecs que j’ai acheté. En 1992 :-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKfVqamFmNBjlaM En attendant,je préfère jouer avec des pièces en bois sur des échiquiers en bois aussi. Mon préféré ordinateur d’échecs est le Mephisto Montreal 68000: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH26pJZjZ9uLj7s Mon échiquier préféré et mes pièces d’échecs préférées sont DGT Walnut/Timeless: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnmUfHl3pK-sbas Mais le confort d’utilisation du Millennium Supreme 55 avec Chess Classics/ChessLink est sans égal. Le Mephisto Phoenix me tenterait d’avoir les trois cas d’utilisation dans un seul module.

@@followyourpassion8378 Si je devais refaire le choix ,je pense que le millenium Supreme 55 serait en tête de liste. Bien que le DGT me donne satisfaction, le M. S. 55 a une élégance un peu au dessus quand même. Le prix de l'ensemble n'est pas donné, il reste je pense pour des amoureux du jeu qui ont les moyens de s'offrir ce matériel. A une époque je m'intéressais au DGT Révélation 2, mais là l'achat est trop couteux.

[@followyourpassion8378]

@@philippedewas7041 Ah oui, le DGT Revelation 2, bien sûr, toujours un sujet pour un amateur d’ordinateurs d’échecs. En plus d’être cher, il a deux autres problèmes qui m’ont empêché de l’acheter jusqu’à présent : - Les options de moteur ne peuvent pas être sauvegardées. Par conséquent, vous devez les réajuster encore et encore. - L’écran ne peut pas être atténué ou éteint. Avec le Millennium King Performance, le rétroéclairage de l’écran peut être désactivé. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHSVn3qojqqqhbM

So they charge you 900 and the chesslink is not even included. I like the box though

[@followyourpassion8378]

There was a sales promotion for the last couple of weeks: Millennium Supreme 55 + Chess Classics Element for 799€. Unfortunately, it must have ended yesterday. The box is actually pretty handy. It has compartments for Chess Classics and ChessLink and a handle, so you can use it for storing or carrying all your equipment. The price you see on the website now, 898€, includes ChessLink btw.

[@drgonzo4909]

I would avoid this like the plauge. The rfid sensors they use are complete garbage. When i bought it 6 were failed straight out of the box. Another failed while waiting for the replacement pieces.

[@followyourpassion8378]

Thank you for sharing. I have both generations of the board, the first and the latest (released in 2024). So far, only the first seems to have had the problems you are refering to. To which version are you refering? Also, customer service dealt with such problems immediately in my experience. I did own Certabo, do own Chessnut Pro, DGT and Millennium boards. And so far, Millennium has the best experience for online chess. What is interesting, my ChessGenius Exclusive board (first generation) never had these RFID issues. PS.: I bought all of these boards with my own money and am not affiliated with any chess product company. Here you can see them next to each other: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWbdqqete62ahrc

[@drgonzo4909]

@followyourpassion8378 It was the older generation of the board, which was also warped and wouldn't sit flat, They may have changed the rfid chips in the newer version... But I doubt it. No mention of different chips in the specs. I agree their customer service was good but the product they provided was just flat out bad. I really hope for buyers of the new version they have stepped up their game.

[@followyourpassion8378]

@@drgonzo4909 In my (this) video you see the new version. You see me unpacking it for the first time and playing a couple of games. There were absolutely no quirks. I will try to check, if they have changed anything in the specs to solve the RFID issue for good.

[@followyourpassion8378]

*** IMPORTANT MESSAGE *** As promised, I checked back with Millennium 2000. They were very open about the issue and fast with their reply. SHORT SUMMARY: The issue is completely resolved. New boards are not affected. If you happen to have an older board with a faulty piece, just contact: [e-mail] THE DETAILS, if you are interested: The issue is known to Millennium and only occured with pieces that belong to the board production year 2022. You can check the batch number of your board on the underside of your Supreme Tournament 55. If it begins with 2022xxxx, then you might have been affected. However, if all of your pieces work fine up until now, there is not much to worry about. The issue was caused by a faulty process step on the side of the supplier of the RFID chips, that affected some chips (not all). At first, Millennium reacted to consumer complaints, by switching out the individual faulty pieces. However, when Millennium recognised the problem on the supplier side, they actively switched out the entire piece sets for boards that were still in dealers inventories. Those RFID chips have a lifespan of more than twenty years, so you will enjoy chess on these boards for a long time! I have to say, that I am really impressed, how well Millennium handled these issues and also how well (support) communication with the company works. That is the mark of a reliable and trustworthy company that stands behind its products.
