Hi Michael

Yes I watched this moron yesterday and couldn't believe a father would show his son such vandalism.

I wouldn't have minded if it was funny but it wasn't.

The only interesting thing about the video was that we got to see the insides of the machine.

Agree with you, gents!

Mine will apparently arrive in 10 days but I'm taking that cum grano salis if you know what I mean. :D

Hi,

I finally received my Square Off Kingdom Set "Super Early Bird :wink:" during my Pentecost vacation. What a surprise after more than one year of delay - but, as we all know, this is more than typical within this business... (Even the production and delivery of a Mysticum Chess Board takes a while and causes delays.... 8) ).

Yes, the Square Off App is basic - yes, the automatic movement of the chessmen is a bit loud and yes, the chessmen are a bit small, but - the board design is excellent, the mechanic is working precisely (don't know how long) and finally the idea of automated chess boards linked via internet became reality!

Updates will come/glad and satisfied Regards, Michael

Hello everyone.

My 'Square Off' arrived yesterday.

Torn between the football and the chess!

It works well. I'm moving my way up the levels. Good value for money in my humble view - a fraction of the cost of some others, so I don't think that we can justifiably complain about the app. or other limitations. These will hopefully be ironed out in time.

Best Wishes
