BillyGate Chess
 

Hallo,

von Martin Lambert erreichte mich folgende Info, welche vielleicht für einige User von Interesse sein könnte.

"The Square Off Pro is a lovely, tournament-sized and rollable chess e-board that was let down by poor manufacturer software. For the last few years most Square Off Pros have been gathering dust on shelves. But now, thanks to a cunning little gadget called BillyGate, you can once again enjoy over-the-board chess on chess.com or lichess.org on your Square Off Pro e-board."

"How easy is BillyGate to use? The honest-to-goat answer is that BillyGate set-up is a little fiddly (we like to think of it as a fun technical adventure) but chess game play is easy. Check out our video."

"BillyGate is a little bluetooth-low-energy (BLE) gadget that connects chess e-boards to chess apps. It originated to rescue my SquareOff Pro rollable e-board after SquareOff went bust (sorry, was acquired by Miko) and ceased to support sites like chess.com and lichess.org. BillyGate enables SquareOff Pro owners to again enjoy over-the-board (OTB)/online chess on these excellent e-boards, and I intend to extend BillyGate to other e-boards and chess apps in future releases."
