Unboxing a DGT Pegasus.

Yesterday I got my DGT Pegasus. And instead of opening it, decided to make a unboxing video about it. Compared the sizes of the pieces with a DGT Centaur and the DGT TimeLess pieces.

I have played a few games on it, and will be making a video of a full game.

[@Murat807]

Thank you. Will wait for the full review.

Cmon man!

Le. El problema mayor que yo le veo de momento es que se me desliga el bluetooth

[@PH2LB]

@@guillemot371 I have seen that happen. But this evening it all works out. Using version 0.95 (93)

[@guillemot371]

@@PH2LB yes. Uso esa versión. 0.95

I don't understand why they put the notch with dgt symbol over the D and E squares, they should have put it just below on the black frame

[@Murat807]

It is an eye sore isn't it? I will put a black tape on it for sure.

[@GG-sc2pj]

@@Murat807 Absolutely, it could even distract me while playing

Awesome video. Out of curiosity, where can one order it? Directly from DGT? I can't find it in stock anywhere :)

[@PH2LB]

I indeed ordered it directly from DGT so I didn't have to wait for the resellers to get there stock delivered (and fed into there webshops, administration, etc). ;-)

[@Gadgetify]

@@PH2LB That's what I should have done. I do a lot of chessboard reviews. I waited too long for ChessHouse or these other sites to have Pegasus in stock. Now it probably won't get here before xmas :) Glad to know that someone has it in stock though. Thanks a lot!

Looking forward to seeing a game on the board

Just uploaded a video playing a Lichess Computer Level 2.

[@stingiestmoth27]

Hello, thanks for the unboxing, do you like the DGT pegasus? or do you prefer the Centaur?

[@PH2LB]

Sorry for the late reply. To play against a computer I prefer the Centaur. But like the Pegasus for the online playing part. It has some problems with the software but updates are coming soon.

I am getting my board in a few days! I'll have videos as well! Cheers from USA! Subscribed and liked!

Thanks for uploading! Please also upload a video with a demo game and first impressions.

Nice video - nice board. I hope you make a video playing on it.

[@djjokerolo]

a thumbs up just because you put the horse in its place. You made me smile. You must have done the same. You understand a lot of a person's character from these little things.

[@arnelpece3154]

DGT must provide firmware update to DGT Pegasus to improve move recognition. They should fix the SPECIFIC ORDER WHEN EXECUTING A PIECE CAPTURE, where you have to remove first the piece to be captured and replace it with the capturing piece. If you do the reverse where you first lift the capturing piece and remove the piece to be captured and replace it with the capturing piece then the board has high probability to run into problem of not accepting/recognizing the move. This is what I discovered with my DGT Pegasus. While in my DGT Centaur I have no issues regardless of which order the capture is executed. THE DGT PEGASUS SHOULD RELIABLY RECOGNIZE THE PIECE CAPTURE MOVE REGARDLESS OF THE ORDER IT WAS EXECUTED. I hope users of DGT Pegasus will give feedback to DGT.

[@guillemot371]

No imaginaba fuese tan pequeño. Me llega hoy

[@PH2LB]

I like the a bit smaller size compared to the Centaur or my normal DGT chess pieces.

[@petercohen3966]

Thanks for the review. Some unboxing advice: spend less time on the box and instruction book (2-5 seconds would be ideal) and more time playing the thing.

[@PH2LB]

Working on that :-)

Mijn probleem met dit bord is dat ie alleen voor online spelen is gemaakt. Hij is nu al ingehaald door Square Off en bv Chessnut Air

[@alexmanheten6548]

The board is very small. I'm disappointed. It would be better to leave the centaur size

[@Raptoricus]

Honestly I think that's subjective. For myself it's better this way, I don't have a lot of room, and I tend to move my boards around a lot. Makes it easier to switch between black and white sides as well.

[@guillemot371]

Cierto es k para movimientos rápidos online es más hábil

[@guillemot371]

ya me ha llegado el tablero, no es tan pequeño, pero tengo problema con el reconocimiento del tablero via bluetooth....
