CertabOdroid

PreviousPage 5 of 5

Hello Julian,

Thank you for your messages,

I just installed Chess for android and it works quite well
The design does not live up to Certabodroid, but it turns out
The connection to chess is sometimes stubborn

Certabodroid is much slower when it comes to thinking, it bugs from time to time too, some leds stay on sometimes and never go out
It is important not to take-back otherwise the game is over ! And avoid setting the game to 100% difficulty ...
We cannot offer the configuration of a specific phase of the game either, this option does not work ...
Sometimes the arrows (nice option) that indicate the reflection fall into place sometimes they disappear in the same game of chess (?)
There are (in my opinion) a lot of options and settings whose usefulness we do not understand, especially if we are not interested in the operation of the software from a purely technical point of view...
Personally I bought a chessboard to be able to play chess quite simply and since my purchase I have spent more time setting up my MacBook or my tablet, watching tutorials, downloading updates, trying to set up instead than playing chess….
An experience like any other 🙂

Best regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Sorry you got so many troubles with Certabodroid 🙁 not sure why.

Several functions unfortunately  cannot be easily implemented without braking some other but it should work ok for the one implemented. Anyhow we are on it to implement those functions else if honestly at speed we would like.

All the best

Pietro

Hi Pietro,

For information : Chess for Android works pretty well on my tablet, the take-backs are done, the responses are quick and also when you can ask help. The software also warns when a piece is not in its place at the start. It's possible play white or black alternately during the same game...

I often use it, almost daily, on my new tablet. Sometimes the connecting to the Certabo chessboard is not immediate, needing to start over several times...

Best regards

Daniel
