YouTube videos of using a DGT - eBoard / Smartboard to play Online Matches and against engines

Here's YouTube link to my channel where I play online matches on lichess, chess.com and against the DGT Pi and Fat Fritz 2.

Thanks...

Here's a link to me talking about making the table https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-equipment/i-made-a-table-for-my-e-board#comment-60810259

The monitor is just a 10" touchscreen that duplicates the display of my main PC monitor. The external speaker for the DGT Pi is a AYL mini.

For the DGT Pi, I'm using Picochess version 3 with about 40 engines loaded, including the latest Texel 1.08a18 and Stockfish 14.1. I have a link for my personal Micro SD Card image for D/L, if you are interested. It containes the latest fix to the Bluetooth connection. Here's a video link I made explaining burning an new image https://youtu.be/TvWe5PEj-0o

The board sits on a 3/4" piece of plywood that is the exact size of the chessboard with 4 hand hole cutouts so I can easily "spin" the 5 kilo board when I find out what color I'm playing, while keeping the board to camera reference the same. https://flic.kr/p/2nfw5r7

Normally, I'm playing on a DGT Bluetooth Rosewood board, but sometimes I use a Smartboard. I usually pick and choose what pieces I want to play with: https://flic.kr/p/2ndtV2B

For my videos, I'm using a couple of GoPro's and I edit them with Vegas Pro 19. For the post-game analysis insets, I'm either using chess.com, lichess.org or Fat Fritz 2.

Here's a shot of editing a video six separate tracks: https://flic.kr/p/2nhhWXF

Al Cooper (Scally) is teaching me to compile engines for Picochess, but it's a work in progress. I was able to compile 14.1 last week from Github source code.  I notified him and told him of the 4-18 drop of SF15, so hopefully, he'll have one compiled in the next couple days for Pico that will also include the Neural Network engine.

Update... he just posted on Google Groups - Picochess

Hi all,

Only been released for two-days and here it is on a DGT Pi

Tinhan - Give me a bit and I'll drop a link to my personal Picochess image (V3) that has the BT connection fix, Texel 1.08a18, Stockfish 15 and the lastest Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye). It will fit on a 8GB card.  Should happen later today. - I have it uploading to my OneDriveShare as I write this.

I made a new post with a download link for the Pi image.
