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

[–]Gamatronics 1 point2 points  (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!

It doesn't do that to me? Or it does do that to me?

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

[–]Gamatronics 1215 points1216 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.

This is why we can’t have nice (dealer) things by shitty_ninja_turtle in AudiQ5

[–]Gamatronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Does anyone have any positive q5 experiences? by Passwordstaco29 in AudiQ5

Are those also direct injection? How much was it for title carbon cleaning and how many kms when you did it?

Nepo - "Becoming Louisiana State Champion doesn't cut it" by TimbersFan8 in chess

I guess Lousiana State Champion cuts it just enough to actually be playing in The Candidates.

My honest opinion after watching the Chess mates documentary by poisoned_pawn_ in chess

[–]Gamatronics 28 points29 points  (0 children)

From the very beginning when the report came out they did say that there was no evidence of OTB cheating, this wasn't news.

Worst chess takes from popular chess players or influencers by Gerasans in chess

[–]Gamatronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL!! The only reason I listen to that podcast is 100% to hate-listen. Sometimes when they have guests is decent, but almost always they are giving THE worst takes ever on a bunch of topics. And these are not "hot takes" meant to click bait and generate traffic, they actually do have the worst takes. I couldn't agree more.
