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?

did you end buying it? wondering the same

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 :)

@@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?

There are some, but they tend to be noisy or slow, would be cool if there was one that was fast and quiet. The issue is capturing pieces when there are pieces all around, and knight moves are a bit awkward, and castling too.

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 🤣

I can’t say I noticed anything, but that may be the foam in the box?

​@@hybricechess Hi, no, it was coming from the board itself and from the plastic protecting it that accumulated the wood varnish smell. After 36 hours, the smell is much less heady and noticeable when approaching the board. My wife told me that now it's softer; it smells like a piece of standard varnished wood furniture. I hope it will disappear in the following days. I even tried to play to check if I can support it, it seems ok, but I need more time to ensure it does not create a headache after a while. The board is nice to play; it's an excellent experience. I hope this smell issue will disappear quickly and that I can keep it.

I may very well take you up on that :)

There is tho. Piece recognition will always work better, there is no room for error and if you'd knock something over the board will easily show you where everything is supposed to be. Also promotion. Promotion without piece recognition only works via selecting which piece you want to promote to on the app taking you completely out of the experience of even using a board like this. While with real piece recognition you simply put down the queen and the board will recognize it.
