Revolutionary Chess! DGT Centaur! 

How much?

It has served me well. You’ll love it.

@@mikestubbs1708 Not easily because of castling. You can set up the board for 960 but to castle you’d have to enter into setup mode then exit and continue. I haven’t tried because the board is not set up to play 960, but I quite enjoy 960 and play it online, not on this board. I don’t sell the DGT Centaur, but I like the idea! Thanks for watching!

I hadn’t noticed that until now. I wonder if it’s a video thing. I’ll have to pay attention next time I play on it.

@@DualBrainGames Maybe it's to attract attention to it? In that case it failed to do so with you? 😆

It looks like it's a digital ink screen and the flashing happens when it refreshes.

I had no chance. Yes.

but if I’m not mistaken you don’t need it when it’s charged

Thank you for watching and thank you for the advice. I’m still learning this RU-vid stuff 😬

@@DualBrainGames That is awesome 👏👏Once you hit that upload button you just crossed the half way to be come in RU-vidr 😎

Those self moving Square Off ones are a gimmick .. such an annoying grinding noise and slow. You can do better than that!

@@melodychest9020 Haha well I suppose playing online games, using a real chess board could be seen as a gimmick as well. I kind of like the self moving stuff, but you are right in how it would not work when it time trouble in an online game, let alone something like bullet chess.

I'm a bit late to the party, but received my Centaur yesterday and really like it a lot. The price is not only for the lights, but also the engine. What makes this board so unique (still, even at the start of 2024) is the fact that the engine will not complain when you do a different move than what it is asking you to do. It's great for experimenting with openings. I also have an older chess computer, that really plays as a computer. This Centaur feels much more human like. Till the end of the game, it gives you the feeling you can still win the game. I'm happy with my purchase.

Thanks for watching, yes it is displayed on the little screen. I’m pretty sure you can set up a position, I’ll have to look at it, so far I haven’t used that feature. I also have an Excalibur and still use it! But yeah, these lights are cool.

Actually I'm not sure, good question, I'll have to look into it. Though I think you can set up positions.

No it just reacts to metal, so you could also use a coin instead of any piece. That means it doesn’t recognize a false positioning

When you buy this it comes complete, and these chess pieces are fine

@@DualBrainGames Is there a better piece of it compared to the price??

@@nsralahdawod Other pieces don't work, only the pieces that come with it work. (Unless you want to get silver tape and try to fool the sensors.)

when you start the game it assigns all the pieces with some kind of cpu/magnets underneath the board. if you make an illegal move or move incorrectly for the computer - the board will put a flowing light circle around the incorrectly placed piece until it’s picked up and put back into play.

Thanks for watching! With my bishop? I lost my bishops longer then 5 moves before the computer got their second Queen. What time is it on the video?

No I don’t think so, it’s not set up for that unfortunately.

@@DualBrainGames Thanks

You can, it just takes longer to set up. You can manually enter starting positions into the board to play, so if you see a position online that you want to test out, you can enter it in. For Chess960, there is no game mode for it, but you could just manually enter the setup you want to play and then play it. To do that you select the piece in the menu and then place it on the board where you want it to go, and then you choose whose turn it is to move.

@@ClosetCatholic Thanks, that is a way, but ;-) we live in modern times, more or less ;-) so I think a modern chess computer should reflect that, and implement this mode naturally. If the very cool chessboard release it, I will buy one or more!.
