Has anybody heared anything about the new Pegasus "online" board by DGT? It was supposed to be released today, but there ́s not even the app in the Apple App Store...
I haven't heard much at all. I am hoping it is released before Christmas.
On chess.co.uk they have updated with the following: -
ETA MID TO LATE DECEMBER 2021 (not guaranteed for xmas)

Thx for your answers Andrew!
I got in touch with the developer of the "white pawn" app khadimfall.com/p/white-pawn and we will discuss DGT integration in the next days.
We briefly discussed DGT ́s inability to properly support iPad & co; It appears they have an issue with the software side of things...

I have owned two dgt autosensory boards. There has always been a software problem using the boards to play online. I would think that the company would have been able to resolve the issues over time.
Apparently mine was shipped from my reseller today. However, there's no app yet, so I'm really curious as to how I'll be able to use it. There's a possibility that the app is currently in beta and thus, for iOS, distributed via testflight only...
Edit - just had another look at the dgt website. It was slightly amended and now links to the google play store for the app whilst the specifications mention that it'll be available in the ios appstore "next week"

I believe it was officially released a couple of days ago, after a delay of 1 week. Today, I received the board and I just successfully played a game using the readily available (Android) app, aptly called "DGT Chess".
First impressions are good. The board and pieces are slightly smaller than the DGT Centaur's. The pieces feel of higher quality (presumably weighted, they weigh approximately the same) and they have felt on the bottom.

Tried connecting to my PC using Bluetooth, but I failed. That could be due to me not being too tech-savvy, but it could also mean the board's connection capability is limited to their app. Note that PC-connectivity is not advertised by DGT, so I can't be mad.

Got my Pegasus today, but could resist unpacking it because I wanted to make a unboxing video about it in daylight.
But are eager to try it out using the Android DGT Chess app.

Wow, that knight looks beautiful. But at least for my taste, its too small, the whole thing as i saw in the video just posted above.
Still its a sweet chess board.
