I'm still playing the waiting game. The estimated delivery date was September 25, 2023!! What's even worse is that there have been no updates, and emails are going unanswered.
Do not be fooled by this and order it. Read the comments and you will see people who paid for this 2-3 years ago still waiting on it or even any honest communication.
Hey, let me start with apologizing for the inconveniences you have faced because of us. Please give me a chance to clarify. Our business currently is divided in 2 parts: The crowdfunding part was done via Kickstarter and Indiegogo. Unfortunately due to Covid, shortage of semiconductors and rising costs, it has been rather difficult for us to manufacture the lproducts. However, we are working towards expediting the production and delivering all products by early next year. The other part of our business is the classic boards that we sell - The Grand Kingdom Board and the Pro Board. These boards have been selling for many years now and will be delivered within 7 days. Having said that, we do understand your inconvenience and promise to resolve this issue at the very earliest.
This was what was said last year when this was delayed 1 year. Now it has been delayed over 2 years, you are just not an honest reputable business. You appear to be more of a pyramid scheme than anything at this point.
@@london4400 We totally understand the delays must have made you raise doubts around our brand. If it wasn’t for the pandemic or uncertainty that we came across with chip shortage that delayed the manufacturing, we would have been able to keep up with our promised timelines. We are positive of providing the most satisfying experience to you.Please allow us a little more time to make this all right for you. And as promised we’ll give the most impeccable experience to you.
@@SquareOffChess So, you have spent all funds and yet still selling products- you’re using the money each new customer pays to line pockets and partially fill a back order you already promised to someone else, instead. “Shortages” are due to you not buying enough bc you can’t afford to. This is bad practice and illegal. Covid shortages were over a year ago, yet you’re still using this excuse. It’s not your money to use. It belongs to customers. You seem perfectly capable of providing a board for promoting your scam and responding to comments here that you were obviously looking out for. Yet, you couldn’t give refunds? Not even explanations? So, why haven’t you been upfront about the fact you’re unable to fill orders? Why don’t you respond to customers who don’t get their orders? Yeah, you know exactly what you’re doing - scamming.
We would like to apologize for the inconvenience you faced due to the delay in delivery of your board. We did not intend to push the delivery dates to this level. But, there were some things beyond our control, owing to the global pandemic and its much prolonged post-effects on the manufacturing sector. Having said that, our team is committed to deliver all the boards at the earliest. You have been a part of our journey all along and have also supported and trusted us since the start, I only request you to give us some more time. We will keep updating you via regular updates regarding the deliveries and hopefully we’ll finish all the deliveries by early next year. Please keep faith in us for a little longer, we promise it will be worth it.
@@SquareOffChessRubbish you are still doing it now but worse as it's not even a kickstarter delay. You can go onto your site and order a swap and it will give you a delivery date. However there is no possibility to cancel the order, you mark it a shipped instantly so cant amend address but then supply no tracking details, delivery date comes and goes and no product arrives. The expectation is delivery in 1-2 weeks internationally but years pass with no delivery and no reply to emails and the chat function on the website just loops round in circles saying it has chased my email thanks for understanding if that isn't AI then you must be employing trained lamas
The whole point is to bring the board with you. But you could just bring a basic fold/roll up and pieces. I guess it's cool to integrate it into chess apps if you want a physical board. But if you are using chess apps to play you most likely are at your house or somewhere a board or PC isn't practical. Meaning a full proper board would probably make more sense as it could live on a coffee table or something and be a permanent fixture. I feel like this is more gimmicky than practical. Why bring a board somewhere to play with a machine or internet people when you could play with random people in a park using your phone as a chess clock?
Heyy, That is the beauty of bringing the physical and digital experience together. If you can have the best of both ends - Outdoor experience even when there is no companion to play. You can play against the A.I on a physical board, and record, analyse the games. This also helps to improve your game. The board can play on 20 different A.I levels upto 3500 ELO. Why would you want to wait for someone in an outdoor setting to play with you, when you can just roll out and start playingg..
Nice product but i don't see why it's worth 259 $ this is a rent price in some countries and after seeing the comments espically on the delivery delays, so i'm paying 259$ for bad service and over priced product
Yes it does. It knows if you have made a correct or an incorrect move. In case of an incorrect move the led lights on the board start to blink, showcasing an incorrect move. Also it is connects with your smartphone via the Square Off app to indicate an error in movement.
They should have metal or lead weights in their feet and should have proper dimensions. A rook must be as tall as a square is wide, otherwise the perception of the board and the position will be limited when judging a position with a lot of chessmen still being on the board.
So what’s stopping me from using a standard chess board and moving my opponents pieces while I play online manually? The coolest thing about this is you can practice with an AI who will gradually help you progress
It'd be a lot cooler if the pieces moved on their own to the right places. I know that'd be a technical nightmare though, I can't even imagine how it'd be possible. It'd have to move other pieces out of the way then remember to move them back. The tech isn't there yet for that
I'm not really understanding whats going with this board . If you are playing with a real person you can just use a regular board and if you are playing online you can go any where you want in the house or work and see the board on your phone . Are people really going to set in front of a board with no one on the other side and not only do you have to make your moves you have to make the other persons move . This does not make any sense. How can you be faster on a physical board when you have to move both sides what she said makes no sense at all . Its 239.00 dollars and it just a board if you don't have your phone right next to you and you have to have a connection so just use your phone .
