What Magic Is This?

2017-01-07
today I might very well blow your mind and my own possibly Jax this is a very exciting moment here on unbox therapy because when I heard about this thing that's in front of me you see it's very large I responded immediately to the email I was like send this thing to me because what I have in here is some tech it is almost magical inside this box is possibly the most advanced chess set ever Ahmet this was launched on Kickstarter I'm not sure what stage or phase it's in right now I just know I have one of the only copies on the planet now I'm not even a chess expert let alone a master but this right here it's about to be some magical Harry Potter type stuff and where did you see it where are you gonna see it on unbox therapy that's where there it is now it's called square off there's your pieces the concept here is that the pieces move on their own I don't you tell them that yet the pieces slide across the table on their own I don't know I don't know we're gonna find out some power for it as well that's about it oh and a note hey Luis how are you finally we meet my creators must have spoken to you about me but let me formally introduce myself I am square off the world's most evolved chess board ever how many classic tangible chess boards allow you to play against an opponent sitting across the globe you're that jack rather than just have like a video game type interface the physical pieces are moving you can touch you can touch it you get intimate with your opponent playing options versus a friend or vs. machine play against square ups artificial intelligence 20 difficulty levels Wow I think it's going to be a WoW moment when these things start to move across the board so I'm guessing the first step is to set them up power port over here and then a power switch oh cool I gave a little stand for your phone I'm gonna power it on and I hear like a little noise it makes I think whoa whoa that sounded like a photocopy or something now there's an app to go with it so I've got the app Oh pairen whoa I'm connected I can challenge a machine or friend I start with the machine I'm guessing I need to have these things on me or me I probably should have had them on there before I started the game right King is over here we'll get some beeps right now this still right that's the way I did it the right way that was right right the Queen goes on the color I can play chess just spin a lot kind of Miss this game I used to play this as a kid I recall now okay everything is set up get the white on this side the black pieces over here I've got the app open over here connect to the board it should bring it up and pair hopefully there we go and that little beat tells you that you're connected now I'm gonna play against the Machine right now I say Lou looks like a normal chess board I don't get it man this this is where the magic is about to happen so but I don't know let's say I move this one you want to register on the spot you're coming from and then the spot you're going to now watch this Oh I never claimed to be a chess master all right people but I want to show you guys what happens when a guy gets killed my guy gets taken liam neeson stop oh man you want this guy over here I put a little pressure on the way this here oh yeah back up I was gonna do something stupid so you guys can see what happens when a player gets taken I move here to here take that guy put him over here now obviously they're gonna take the Queen look at them go ha i watch the pawn will move in there that's my pot now I don't know if you guys are as excited as I am about this but I just think this is a really cool way to learn and interact with chests I'm playing against AI right now but of course it's not a video game the pieces are actually moving it's like I'm having to reconsent xual eyes the way I look at AI because there's a physical movement associated with it and of course the app is updating those movements as you key them in the different engines built into it right now and I'm sure that'll be expanding and of course many different difficulty levels as well oh good bye ha ha Oh even top of my queen how about that I'll take that little guy yeah there you go you heard a couple of beats 4 check if I try to move say my king there invalid move I get two beeps goodbye I don't understand you feel like normal chess pieces they've got a little bit of felt on the bottom I don't know there must be some metal under there something good night what can I say I mean it's self-explanatory this thing is crazy cool I don't know maybe you grew up you're playing chess with your brother all the time now he left I don't know using them where did he go he went away to school or he's in the military or something he can just pop out his app and still play against you and you can feel like he's right on the other side it's got to be a game-changing thing in the world of chess I'm sure you guys want check on your crowdfunding progress I'll put a link down in the description this thing is cool that's the bottom line
