ChessUp initial thoughts

Wow, that's great @cosmoKJ, I like the ChessUp very much wink

I got some questions:

1) Are Lichess tournaments (such as "LoneWolf") supported ?

2) Is it possible to set up any position on the board in order to analyze it or play it against the ChessUp AI ?

3) Are external UCI/WinBoard/XBoard chess engines supported ?

Thanks and keep up the good work on the ChessUp wink

I am disappointed that your questions have not been answered, can you tell me the dimensions of the board and the size of the squares? I have hand tremors and I am concerned this will not work for me.

Sure wink

I'm sure that the squares are NOT 1.5" diagonally. Chessup should really correct their diagram.

Each square is 1 1/2" to a side. The board, as mentioned above, has a total size of about 15 3/4" x 14" and the area for only the playable squares is 12" x 12". The pieces are not weighted if that is a concern of yours regarding the hand tremors. On the plus side, this board is the best for not freezing if pieces are knocked over and then righted.
