I'm testing an electronics draughtsboard. Does anyone else have experiences with an electronic draughtsboard?

Hello Peter !

I had the SAITEK 80 MGHZ in the past. Perhaps I could give you any information..... [img]images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

My question wasn't clear enough. I mean electronic draughts board which makes notation of played moves (and offers the possibility to present the game on internet).

Henk Fokkink mentioned the use of a draughts board in Vlieland. A while ago. Any one knows what kind of board was used?

The clock with the electronic draughts board has a strange property, it always adds the second time period to the first time period after fourty presses on the clock.

So the clock (and thus the board?) is not suitable for the world championship. Nice to notice, just a few weeks before the start of the tournament...

Board and clock can operate separatly.

Which means that we cannot see the remaining time on the internet, because the tournament will not be played with a clock connected to the electronic board. That's ashame, mainly because the adjustment to the software seems fairly easy. It should not count any moves, but just add the second period when the first period is over. Progamming this will take a few minutes only.

I wish it is so easy...

Yes! We found him!
Guido will you do it? I hope you can spend just few minutes for this fairly easy adjustment.

I suggest we offer him a large basket full of beer when he does the job. He is very welcome to my house. Can we make an appointment Guido?

You got the source code for me, as well as a compiler (it won't be C++) and a platform (it won't be Windows)? The source code would be sufficient if you have a compiler yourself. But why don't you contact Shahcom from Sint Petersburg (Russia) or one of the many programmers from Russia and the Netherlands?
