How to Use Different Pieces with DGT Centaur Board 

Now I know this video had to have helped Some of the over 7k viewers. If it did, please subscribe! I have another electronic board video coming soon. Thank you!

oooooo goody! i tried this on some really pretty wooden chessmen i got at a garage sale and it worked! thanks 4 the idea

24 pieces of 5 Euro cent and some superglue did the trick also, should work with quarters or dimes in the US as well. Try putting down all 24 coins on the spots where the chess pieces go before playing, and if all is well the Centaur should recognize them. Try it out before you start to apply glue to your favorite chess pieces and stick dimes to their bottoms. Really enjoy the Centaur, won on my first play-through, but did give me a run for my money, and did not give up till the end. Great python programming at work.

Good video. Thank you.

Hi ... just got my DGT Centaur 2021 still works. 👌🏻👍🏻

Thank you so much for this ! I can use my wonderful Isle of Lewis men now ! 🇬🇧

I have this monotone colored chess game! It's fun! But DGT should come out a more aesthetically color for the board and pieces! Like brown and Rosewood!

What type of stickers and what size?

I saw this in an Amazon review before, did you see that?

Would sticking coins on the bottom work , just thinking it would be easy and add some weight ?

Hi, did you know , as long as your own chess pieces have some weight to them, you can use a foil dot or square as little as 5mm

Hi Skyman do we have to fully cover the bottom of every chess piece ♟ or a silver dot sticker even if a little smaller is it fine or must cover most to all underneath or won’t work ??

okay ok, if you put that sticker the DGT recognizes the pieces but only if they are in the correct order right?. In other words, if you put the pieces on the board wrong, the DGT recognizes them as if they were right? for example the rooks put the bishops and the DGT does not find out

I know this thread is 2 years old, but I'll be getting the foil dots tomorrow. Do they stick directly over the felt, or do I need to removed the felt first? From what I can make out in the video, the felt stays on. Just wanting to make sure.

Do you recommend that I buy the chess pieces in the video separately for $30?? Or are there better chess pieces for the price?

How can it tell the difference between for example a king and pawn?

what is that aluminum product called? Could you put up a link to it in the description?

Is this tournament sized board?
