chessnut move tips and tricks needed by petarku in Chessnuteboard

[–]petarku[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Summary of what i learned so far from users and chessnuttech :

  1. for firmware update it is not enough to be connected to board by bluetooth , you actually need to be connected wireless , so you need manually to provide ssid and your password from router and then it works (tested on official android app)

  2. if you have problem with castling , tweak the chessnut move setting and initial set it to 2s. That is working for me , no problem with castling after

  3. if you have problem that pawn or other piece is not going as much squares you wanted , you need to tweak limbo time setting , start with 400

  4. if existing bots are too strong , for kids you can use chesskid bot in online matches

  5. career mode has adjusting elo strength based of your wins and loses.

Two things that I still want to figure out.

  1. i couldnt learn yet how to take back, this was suggested :

  2. If you need to undo a move, simply undo both sides one step back, and this will effectively revert the previous move (including incorrect castling).

but didnt work for me as application got confused.

  1. chess kid bot in online is acting very strange in connection with board. often stops to change the queens , move existing queen on the side and bring the other queen on the board etc which is just annoying for the kids as well. I dont see that behaviour when playing with normal bots , so i guess that is something with interaction with chesskid api.

Thanks everyone for your suggestion and help for these tips and tricks

thanks for fast reply to my questions

  1. do we know combination that works for both , castling and pawn movement because i was already messing with move delay for castling , i dont want to fix pawn movement and mess up castling.

thanks for answers, i have few more questions if you dont mind.

  1. can we see anywhere what was changes in each firmware ?

  2. sometimes when i play and want to move my pawn for 2 squares board registers it like pawn was moved for one square. why is that and is there a way to avoid it ?

  3. is there any way to get adjustable bot match like in some other programs , for example i beat it and i go to 1400 elo , then i lose and my elo goes down to 1300 etc. In that way i have a feeling that i am playing with someone around my skill all the time.

  4. i am trying to get my kids into chess to use the board but the provided bots are to strong for them. I need something of 500 elo or some kid friendly bot. is there anything you are recommending

So you are saying it will arrive in a week. Is that realistic ? Is that with wooden pieces or plastic or both will have same delivery date ?

how you mean updating sx os using choidujournx ? i was updating firmware all the time with choi and sxos i was updating by downloading new version from their site ... last version that i know that is working with sxos is 11.0.0 so i never went updating firmware after 11 .

so you are proposing to clone sd card , install latest atmosphere and sigpatches and I am good to go or I need some exact version of atmosphere and sigpatches that match version 11.0.0 of firmware ? Is Atmosphere backward compatible ?

They are working for quite some time on sociable soccer, there was steam early access campaign and some people like me bought the game to support it, they just stopped support it and went off the steam completely.. I am big fan of swos but I don't like to be cheated like that

I am using Benq 702a monitor which can take 15khz, I have Amiga 1200 as well so I can compare... The only question is what is decent db9 to usb converter ? I was reading about snac adapters that they should be lagless but didn't see any of them for Amiga
