DGT Pegasus?

Sort:

As much as I love my Pegasus I will say this about the Square Off Pro - It has an amazing battery life.  I haven't used mine in weeks and, when I went to use it today, it had only lost about 5% battery.

I still like to play with my Pegasus, I mainly use Chess dojo.  , I expect a lot from the program editors, chessbase for Fritz a small update, it would be nice, and that Chess, com can integrate it for solo play and other topics

 

J aime toujours jouer avec  mon Pegasus ,j'utilise principalement Chess dojo. , J attend beaucoup des éditeurs de programme , chessbase pour Fritz   une petite mise à jour , ce serait bien , et que Chess,com puisse l intégrer  pour jouer en solo et  d autres rubriques

How has everyone's experience with White Pawn been lately?

For the most part, White Pawn + Lichess has worked great and I've really enjoyed playing with Pegasus. But now lately I've had more cases where the move is not sent from White Pawn to Lichess, resulting you think you've made your move but actually in Lichess it's still your turn... Just lost a tight, back and forth game which I was about to win in the end despite having time trouble too, only because this most annoying bug happened again. I've already realized there's a little delay, so if you have only 1 sec in the clock and this happens then it's your fault, but in this case I had got enough time back from the increments. Anyone else had more problems with White Pawn lately? 

Also, any news about the update of DGT's own app? Is it usable yet or still rubbish? All I need would be a reliable connection to Lichess and a possibility to choose the scale of the opponent's rating, which I think was missing in DGT's app earlier at least.

It's happened to me and I lost a couple of games because of it.  What I do now is I open a separate web browser window on my phone with the lichess game i'm currently playing on it.  I check it occasionally if I see my opponent is taking too long to make a move to make sure everything is good.  Doing this already saved me one game where I had waited for minutes my opponent wasn't making a move but i checked the browser and they already had so my clock was ticking not theirs (but on white pawn is shows theirs).

I emailed Khadim Fall (the creator of white pawn) and he's aware of it.

My last info from DGT was on 24 June when they told me it's in final test, due in "July". Final tests are about BT connection reliability & speed.

But what does chessbase do as a market leader?  , no answer on the evolution of their program to work on bluetooth eboards 👎

 It's a shame I would have trained with Fritz or worked with chessbase

 

Mais que fait chessbase leader sur un marché ? , aucune réponse sur évolution de leur programme pour fonctionner sur des eboard bluetooth 👎

C est dommage j aurai bien m entrainer avec Fritz  ou travailler avec chessbase

I got my Pegasus yesterday. Good experience, I was playing with Chess.com and Lichess. Lichess is very fast to play when you connect by DGT App.. Only a minor problem today with Chess.com by I fixed it very fast restarting the table.. I'm using a "old" phone (Samsung J7 2016) and I was a little scared after read the comments but I have to say: works perfectly. I played a 5 minutes game and yes, you lost some time moving the pieces but you have to learn to live with this problem, in other way you can play 10, 15 or 30 minutes games and this problem is not so evident.. I was thinking about to buy Millennium Eone, but really, Millennium looks like a toy if compare with Pegasus (very tipycal in Millennium products, I have The King Performance and I can't stop to think about low quality table, maybe I think in this way because I have some old Mephisto tables..). Really I recommend Pegasus to play and I think you have don't care about so much bad comments.. (or maybe I'm a lucky man).

Hopefully, the updated DGT app (in a closed beta at the time) will come out soon, I'm looking forward to it  wink

The new DGT Chess app (for iOS/MacOS) is out (v2.0.0):

https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/dgt-chess/id1599508632?l=en

- Rebuild from scratch  wink

Does battery problem been solved? Anyone knowns if the firmware of the board is also updated?

howard2k7

Wow, rebuild from scratch. Still no Chess.com support, only Lichess and Chess24 (sometime soon).

 

It's not only frustrating it's a shame... I want to like my board so much but I almost always default to the SquareOff and would've never bought the Pegasus in the first place...

The Android App works fine, if you have that phone try it.

Is there an update for Android?

GeorgeGoodnight

It’s still version 1.00 on play store.

Kromok2

The Android app is now in its final stage (open beta) and will come out soon, I'm keeping my fingers crossed !  wink

What's  new with the latest chess software of DGT Pegasus? Anyone can tell us about their experience with the latest software?

GeorgeGoodnight

I’ve played on version 2 on iOS. I selected a 30 minute game and it came out as a 10 minute. The interface is nothing to write home about. It’s not clear if it updates the board firmware. I’d suggest it doesn’t, although battery life is better.

I find the best online OTB experience is on a Smartboard with Acid Ape Chess.
