Hola, Carlos. Qué orgullo que un mexicano esté haciendo este proyecto, lo vi en la publicidad de FB pero nunca lo imaginé. Yo respaldé Squareoff el año pasado y hasta ahora no parece estar cerca de llegar,  y viendo el trabajo que han hecho aquí, dan ganas de pedir reembolso allá y comprar acá. Hay manera de recibir algún tipo de descuento connacional tongue.png, o de comprar un prototipo aunque no esté terminado. Saludos desde Monterrey, danielleallicon@gmail.com

If you are gonna pull the Regium 2.0 scam, at least do it properly. The bald guy in one of your fake videos says Knight to g4, and the knight goes from h2 to h4. Lol.

I think that video is cut off. It moves to G4 on the Kickstarter site gif here.

What happens when you make a capture? I did not see it in any of the videos. Are the pieces automatically taken to the edge?

In minute 1:53 of the promotional video you can see a knight capture, in that part I think the video is accelerated.

Hi @0peoplelikethis

Probably you watched one of our Facebook ads, and the video gets cut off. You can watch the whole video in our Kickstarter campaign.

 

Thanks, @bubbles_the_cat !

Hi @jacmater

You can also watch how pieces are both manually and automatically captured at the following video: https://www.instagram.com/p/CQWt6tzlF1M/?utm_medium=copy_link

Hola @Prozizou

Los precios de la campaña tienen un descuento del 40% sobre el precio normal de retail.

Could you film it from a moving camera?
I would be very interested in seeing it from different angles while it operates live.

A moving camera would be rather interesting, instead of a still camera.
All the videos film from a standstill point, it would be great if someone could film from multiple angles so we can check out the magnificent display of its performance from multiple viewpoints. happy.png

what programming language have you written this project in?

Avatar of chessroboto

Just 7 days to go before the KS campaign ends. Looks like there's some more people who signed up.

Avatar of TundraMike

Carlos_Pendas.   If I may ask why was your original goal only $6,000 for such a project. When I visited the Kickstarter project today it has raised almost 1 1/2 million dollars.

@Carlos_Pendas Do a live demonstration. A nearby chess club, park or school would be good. Or contact the local newspaper. That would remove all questions.

This thing already exists, and it's called Square Off, and the pieces are moving just as painfully slowl as in this Phantom project, so nothing new under the sun.
