I have been having the same issue. With not being able to move a piece exactly as you discribe with my grand kingdom.  The problems seem to have decreased in the last couple games. I gave the grandkigdom time to fully charge. Auto reset didn't initially work but it may be user error it wasn't mentioned what to do with a piece you capture I started pressing the piece down on the side panel corresponding to the piece and resetting worked flawlessly then on. I will update in a day or so. I have found to keep the piece evenly flat when pressing down works best unlike other manufactures you can use just an edge. I am not sure how to send a video as they requested I will wait for my son to come assist me with that

Spoke to the owner of the company. He said that his team has found the bug and will release an update this week to correct it!

That's good news I had played a couple more games at the none responsive square only came up one time I in the very end of the game. It happened when I was pushing a pawn from h2 to h8 in rapid succession following the g kindoms move.  It has also occurred to me this may well be a internet speed connection problem. I am actually currently up on my 80 acres of Forest which is in a rural area about 50 miles outside Portland Oregon. When I am out here there is no internet so I rely on using my 4 g connection. Download speed is good enough to watch netflicks and Amazon movies but sometime the Yankee baseball games buffer in high def. I will have to check the uplad speed but I am guessing that I would have no issues with squares not responding if I played slower or didn't try to respond immediately. I actually live in Portland or and have Supper fast business 100 mb per sec internet I think the issue will not occur there I will report back when I return home in a week or so.

Hi guys, I'm thinking on buying a Square Off, it looks extremely fun and cool. I think I did enough research on the board itself and now I'm interested in a more practical matter. When the board itself arrived did you pay any additional customs fees, taxes or such?

No, i didn't. I purchased mine when it was still in its start up phase and compensation for waiting a year was they paid shipping cost. I am thinking they still do but not sure. I could find out if you like?  The promo code JOSEPH10 should save you 10% on the purchase price.

The shipping is still free, but they charge "Duty and Tax" fees. I'm quite sure my country will add extra charges on top of that fees. I was just wondering if someone had some experiences with that. I'll probably order it anyway. happy.png

Highly recommended! I played three online otb games last night and had a blast. I can honestly say it was one of my best purchases yet.

Funny enough, I still didn’t play a single game online yet! I am in a phase where I play only Daily Chess and didn’t for a while work with my repertoire. With Daily Chess I can use books to go through the opening, so I make a lot of experiments in the opening at the moment. But I will play soon online as soon as I get my second device. But first I have to review some lines before (specially as black) so I will not get busted in the opening.

In two games against the computer I was not able to promote a pawn. Did you have the same experience?

No i haven't, was this recently? After the update

 

Has anyone else?

No I promoted fine last week.

I had trouble with non responsive squres adfter the update. Two games went without incidents the last game had three separate issues. Was fine on the third game but I moved my phone about seven ft away from the GK to share the phone which is when the problems started was doing a lot of chatting during that game don't know if those two things may be in play.

Moved my phone to charge it. I should proof read before sending sorry

Dennis_Petersen

Grand Kingdom worked flawlessly tonight left the phone in the crate didn't chat. I am thinking my internet may be the root of any problems I have had, possibly doing to much with my 4g on the skirts of the surice area. I love this maching and may buy another for my son.

Perhaps my problems are related to internet.  I didn't play home,  but at work.  I will test the device again at home.

Make sure you lock the board and put the shipping screw in when transporting.
