Chessup2 Lessons: Fiona’s voice sounds robotic + could lessons be more interactive?

General

I really love doing lessons on the ChessUp 2 board — it’s honestly one of my favorite ways to study.

Two quick things I wish were better:

1. The commentary voice sounds weirdly flat/robotic. It’s Fiona Steil-Antoni, and I’ve heard her on YouTube/Chess.com where she’s super engaging. But on ChessUp she sounds rushed and kind of “processed” and robotic, flat with no personality. I usually have to slow her down, but then she sounds weird and almost drunk. :laughing::wine_glass:

2. I’d love a little more interactivity. Sometimes it would be awesome if the lesson paused and asked me to “find the best move,” let me try a move or two on the board, then explain.

Thanks — overall I’m really enjoying it.

Oh, wow, she sounds so much like Fiona Steil-Antoni. That explains it.
