Picochess 0.28

Post by ifekali »

A complete rewrite, now supports any UCI engine. Runs on Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Mac OSX, Windoze, you name it. Broastcasts game live on web, saves PGNs, etc.

Here's a video using Revelation II as a smartboard:

The Revelation II is setup in bluetooth mode, the latest 3.14 firmware update is needed for the LEDs to work. Note the extremely robust position recognition, picochess will pick up position even if it gets mangled in any way during play.

I believe this is best chess teaching tool ever. Imagine a remote tutor monitoring a game between two kids (or kid vs. engine) via web interface & Skype.
