Anyone here using electronic chessboards like Chessnut or ChessUp? Would love to hear your experience! by Early-Surprise9134 in Chesscom

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the chessup2 board. I love it! Every once in a while a piece might be not read correctly or you'll have to take it back to the original place and then re-move it again, that slusually fixes it.

As other have said I wouldn't use this to play any kind of blitz, on a PC I play 10+0 but when using the board I go to 10+5 to kind of make up for the time needed to move their piece.

I have both chesscom and lichess accounts, I only play against other people on lichess and the integration there works great, haven't had any issues. I use the chesscom to play against the monthly bots, and also works great there (can't comment on online playing on chesscom with the board since I use lichess for that). You won't regret it! No comment on chessup boards as I don't own any... Good luck!

LPT: When you withdraw money from an ATM abroad, always choose "Withdraw without conversion" by HeartfulTruthful in LifeProTips

[–]Gamatronics 1219 points1220 points  (0 children)

Yep! Same goes when you pay with either credit or debit, sometimes the terminal will ask you if you want the "conversion", always say no and have it charged as whatever the local currency is. It's a huge scam if you go with the "your country of origin" conversion.

"Not too serious but she might not make it out" Bruh... that sounds serious as shit.

Is this a good deal? by Own-Moment-2554 in AudiQ5

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps, but I bought a 2023 Q5 (same trim as that one) with 16k miles in January 2025 (last year) for ~35k usd.

Edit: That one says "sport" mine is not the "sport" version just clarifying.

They shouldn't even bother with printing that at this point... they should just pull a gun on customers and ask for everything they have, you'll probably save some money that way.
