DGT has released app version 1.0 for iOS and Android (12).

Don't just post there's an update let us know what the updates are! Copy and paste that too.

This is copied straight from the website, that's all there is.

Mine says 1.0 and will not update. I deleted, reinstalled and says 1.0

That seems reasonable enough, considering HHD3 informed us that 1.0 is the latest released app version.

HHD3

you should be good.

1.1, if/when it happens (vs 2.0 instead), will have fixes/updates.

Can you play offline with the Pegasus? Can you play the computer on Lichess or chess.com etc?

Review this thread for more info and visit their site (digitalgamestechnology).  Pegasus is slightly smaller than their Centaur and is designed for online play.

Yes, in Arena, LucasChess, Shredder and BearChess on Windows.

Thank you. How is the Pegasus working now for everyone since the app update? I'm that close to buying one.

In case this is still news to anyone, Pegasus works smoothly on lichess via iOS phone. Haven't tried tablet but suspect same. Haven't figured out chess.com cuz it's not avail yet.

Ran into a few of the issues above in this thread, but easy fixes using their knowledge (thank you all for your constructive sharing, it helped).

Got mine from HoS, delivered in 3 days to midwest US. With their Valentine's discount you can get it for a song. There is no case included even tho it's pictured on their site (I talked to them, they simply don't have any yet), but the discounted price is super.

 

Will try some other platforms listed above, thanks for your efforts.

Unexpected nice Pegasus feature:  LEDs for white squares are slightly brighter than black. Black ones are a bit muted like "warm/brown" lights. Luv it.  App is a breeze. 

 

P.S. - Yes Kevin, it came with a USB cable votechess.png

Yeah but until it gets updated to have chess.com on IOS and it works smoothly I can't consider it.  I'm patiently waiting and hopefully the update is released by march as they said.

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it.

I’ve been sent a cable by the seller. It’s about ten feet long, not that I’m bragging;o) I’m guessing it’s not what would have been included, not that it matters.

Anyone connected Pegasus to Windows 11 bluetooth yet?

Mine is paired but doesn't connect, no matter what I try. Goal is to use LiveChess, but not sure if this has been successful with others. I got some help from a lichess master who's also techy but still stumbling on the basic bluetooth connection. Constructive input welcomed.

 

BTW - the DGT club here is a wasteland so far. I've asked if DGT is even curating/moderating it, no response just yet

DGT today is behaving the way the company did way back in 2000. I purchased a serial auto sensory board that always had firmware issues. Purchased a usb board in 2004 that again suffered  connection issues. And now in 2022!! people in the forums talk about poor DGT customer service.

I pulled the plug on the DGT Pegasus today.  I was able to get it, including tax and shipping, for $200.  That seemed worth it.  I love my Centaur, so I figure, why not.  I am on IOS so I will try using the DGT app or the WhitePawn app to play on Lichess until I can use it on Chess.com.  If it is too glitchy then I will return it.  I should have it in about a week.  Fingers crossed.

What HHD3 said.  HoS w/ Valentine code.  Everywhere else had it for about $375 so that seemed like a great deal.

Anything else than VALENTINE? 

Coming up as "not a valid code".

Found one ...

That's weird.  I literally just bought mine less than an hour ago.
