Dear Chess Friend,
Our friends at DGT have created a new and interesting gadget: a sensor board with a built-in chess engine. During the Olympiad in Batumi last year, a beta version became hugely popular in the café area.
DGT is very enthusiastic: 'Stop using computer screens, tablets or telephones and start playing chess with Centaur on a real board with real chess pieces. Simply turn it on and make your move! Centaur is always there to challenge you, to help develop your game and to keep you sharp!', is how DGT promotes the Centaur. 'Other chess computers are made to play at the highest strength. They are impossible to beat. At lower levels, they play unnatural and inhuman. They are simply no fun to play against. Centaur was made to give everyone a good game. Whether you are a beginner or a strong player, whether you are a home player or a club player, Centaur will adjust to you as soon as you make your first move.'
The Centaur has a hint system and the option to set up any position. The beautifully designed chess board has touch sensors that effortlessly register your moves. It has a rechargeable battery, e-Paper display, intuitive settings in many languages and weighted plastic chess pieces. The computer moves are indicated by circular LED lights. Centaur is not compatible to connect to your computer or online chess portals.
Please have a look at this interesting chess sensor board.
Best wishes,
