The Chessnut developers have updated the firmware on my prototype Chessnut EVO board and there are some fantastic bug fixes, but also some new features!

Bugs fixed:

• excessive delay between screen and board moves when playing online
• pawn promotion glitch when playing online

New features:

• intelligent screen rotation so that the screen orientation will match the colour of the piece you control
• this works for both on-device bots (Maia, Stockfish, Lc0) and for online games
• “Chess Vision” using the neural processing unit to “read” chess boards on screen is being expanded to more online chess services, with support for Chessable announced!
