Do it make any sense to create a mechanical hourglass device when most newer dgt clocks support digital hourglass?

I bet it can be hard to gauge your remaining time by counting sand grit ;)

Hi Peter,
Well, yes and no :-).... Work, vacation, and various other things have not left much spare time unfortunately to work on this. I am still planning to add this, and reasonably soon. So please stay tuned!

Hi Aart,

of course I stay tuned - in 2-3 weeks the bluetooth modul for the ChessGenius Exclusive can be orderd in the online shops. I am so excited when I can use my board with your great app!

I have 1 question: In your last update in April you wrote: „added various engine related features requested by users ...“. Can I hope to use the Rodent III engine in your great app - in some weeks/months?

Thanks for your answer

Peter

I added the "MainBookFile" option for Rodent in the last update. I believe you can control the personalities by setting up a "ini" file (parallel to where you install the engine). Other than that, Rodent should work like any other UCI engine.

Please let me know how the integration with the Millennium board works for you!
