Hello again
Since my first blog I've decided to start The 3Robot project which takes my faulty Novag 2Robot and replaces all the old electronics with a new microcontroller. My blog on this is at:

Hello
The 3Robot chess computer with robot arm is now finished.
Check out my new blog to see how the project was completed.

I've also put a couple of new videos on YouTube.

Hello again
I've just put up a blog about integrating Stockfish into your own chess projects. It shows how to use Python to play against Stockfish on your computer, using online Stockfish servers, and building your own Stockfish web server. The latter I've used for the 3Robot project.

A new blog on the 3Robot coming in the New Year.

Hello
I recently updated The 3Robot with a new microcontroller board, an Arduino Giga. Plus it can now play with Stockfish, Komodo, Leela Chess Zero and Maia.

Hello again
I've put up a blog on how to write a simple Python program to play Leela Chess Zero (Lc0) and Maia.

Hello
I've updated my recent 3Robot blog with a section on how to speed up the robot arm's move. Sadly these ideas weren't present in the original Novag 2Robot.

Hello again
Just added a blog, "How to Write a Chess Opening Book for Stockfish using Python". The same techniques were used to implement an opening book in the 3Robot.

Hello
I've just published a blog on the Novag 2Robot, the chess computer from 2008 which had a robot arm. I've taken it apart and had a good rummage around.

I will be adding more 2Robot blogs soon, so please follow this thread to get updates.
