Square Off - Chess Set

The Bigger one!!! The grand kingdom set is well worth the extra money!!!

I talked to my boss,  he will buy the device. Sorry.

Good for you, too bad for me. But thanks for the answer anyway.

Yeah, it is important to regularly post the code for the 10%.

Update- I ordered the smaller one. I couldn't wait any longer and I don't mind setting it up. Thanks again for the code!

Great! Once I will play some games with all the guys here, but at the moment I have a lot to do with a Daily tournament (I hope I will win this time, let's see).

Johnny, I have the smaller one too and love it. I’m sure you will love it too. Let me know when it arrives and Inwill gladly play with you

Will do, thank you.

So I was able to pay the balance after a software glich on their end. My grandkingdom is paid for in full I am now waiting for the tracking information.  At this time I am wondering about the chess.com compatability.  When I placed my order nine weeks ago chess.com compatability was then two months off so can anyone update us on where we stand on that point?

I asked about that  and was told a couple of months. That was last month. Maybe I will ask Squareoff about that again today, I’m sure they will say a couple of months... again.

They are still diligently working on completing the chess.com compatibility. Last I spoke to them they said it was going to be there next update so I can only assume it was their main focus now. I'm guessing its harder to make apps communicate than just creating their own like the ----------------------------> Analyze This <------------------------ app that they just created and released recently. This app is a must have if you guys haven't downloaded it yet. Play a game on your square off set and then analyze it after with the analyze this app.

Congratulations and thank you for using the promocode JOSEPH10 at purchase! Please let me know when it comes in and we can play some.

 

Brioma33 do you got time for a game later tonight?

I have chess club tonight

I was just told by Squareoff that it will be in a couple months

I have 2! It is pretty cool to me! I love the concept... obviously DGT is an option as well with more uses but if you can have both i would

I am planing to make a Turk and use the Square Off to make the chess machine looks pretty cool.

As I don’t have much space in my apartment I will probably do only the upper part of the machine. But better would be of course to do the whole machine.

I am starting to construct a Turk to integrate the Square Off. It will not have the same size as the original, as I don’t have enough space in my apartment for it.

I still have to learn how to make the Turk’s head. I know a guy who exposed an amazing Einstein- doll in his shop. The doll was done by his daughter. Let’s see if she can show me how to make a similar head for my Turk.

The rest of the body will not be a great challenge, I guess. A friend of mine could help me with the mechanism to make the Turk move the head, eyes, hands and arm.

My machine doesn’t need to move the pieces. I think it should move the arms in a way to suggest that he it is able to move the pieces using telepathy.

The question is of course how to make it move the hands in the right moment? I mean, short before it moves his pieces? This will be thought, and perhaps not realistic for such a simple project.

The easiest solution would be to use remote control for different movements, but even this is already not very realistic for my budget. Probably it will just make some erratic movements from time to time, I don’t know. Or does somebody have an idea?

I think the machine could be exposed in a big international tournament, like in Biel. It would be a great publicity for Square Off.
