Following my prolonged spell of illness I've been playing catch-up this week by starting work on a few projects simultaneously and I've also been playing chess (badly) against an invisible opponent.

This was a video I was able to assemble in a shorter time than usual, although as a result it is a bit less polished in places. I'm not a fan of using jump cuts, but you'll see a few deployed here. Needs must, especially when my tendency to blather clashes with the requirements of an increasingly impatient youtube audience.

I'll talk about this subject properly sometime - but it seems like a youtube video of more than fifteen minutes is as off-putting to many nowadays as a thousand page novel could be to my generation.

Anyway I hope you enjoy this one and thank you for your continued support.

UPDATE: I've uploaded a new version of the video (above) with a couple of corrections regarding the differences between the two tables. I didn't want to mislead anyone, so I made this section clearer with a new voiceover section replacing the to-camera original.

Automated Chess - Losing to a Ghost

Square Off - the app-connected computer chess board that moves its own pieces.

A few people have wondered why I didn't show the inside workings. I didn't think it would be interesting - as everyone here can already picture exactly what will be inside - a small circuit board attached to something that looks like a flatbed X/Y plotter arm with a magnet on the end. However if you really really want to see this - then just search for 'Inside Magic Chessboard' on youtube - but you'll almost certainly wish you hadn't bothered. ---------------SUBSCRIBE------------------ http://www.youtube.com/user/Techmoan?sub_confirmation=1 -------------Merchandise----------------- https://teespring.com/stores/techmoan-merch -------------SUPPORT--------------- This channel can be supported through Patreon https://www.patreon.com/techmoan *******Patrons usually have early access to videos******* ----------Outro Music----------- Over Time - Vibe Tracks https://youtu.be/VSSswVZSgJw ------Outro Sound Effect------ ThatSFXGuy - https://youtu.be/5M3-ZV5-QDM ------AFFILIATED LINKS/ADVERTISING NOTICE------- All links are Affiliated where possible.
