Is there any ETA on the new firmware for chessup 1?

I’m particularly looking forward to the stronger builtin AI as I often just wanna play without using the phone app. But unfortunately, the builtin top level AI is not really strong enough.

January 2025 most likely. I am about halfway done with the new code.

That sounds awesome. Happy holidays!

I know you’ve got your hands full with Chessup2, but is the Chessup 1 firmware still on track to be released this month?

There is a new release coming out with the lessons release (this week).

After that, we should have the new Ai release - TBD exact release date, but I will share it soon.

Hi Jeff

On the Chessup 1 firmware release page it mentions only “support for upgraded lessons”. I take it the builtin AI improvement did not make it in?

Built in AI improvement on CU1 is going to correspond with release 6.0.0 on CU2:

The same built in chess engine runs on both. Taking a bit longer than hoped but is active and in progress on the work right now.

I also expect us to continue to work on improving it throughout 2025.
