The fusion of chess worlds: E-Boards and DOS programs

Post by synthese »

Hi,
in a world where e-boards (such as Certabo, Millennium, Chessnut, DGT) can seamlessly connect with various devices, software solutions, websites, and old emulations, an intriguing idea emerges for me, accompanied by an important question.

What if a tool/app/interface similar to Chessvision from Chessnut, Chesscam, or Webcam Chess could be used to create a connection between old DOS chess programs or other emulations and modern e-boards via drivers from Graham O'Neill, for example?
Programmers of the world, look at this still unsolved problem. It could bridge the gap between chess past and present. :D

Kind regards
Harry

Hi Harry,

You can already play against DOS programs using webcamchess. There are lots of videos on YouTube that show how to do this.
