Do you not hear the whirring of the motors as it moves its piece anyway
The whirring of the motors is much more quiet, it is not a problem.

I do not see a problem with disabling the sound. If the device would accept my move, then it would move its piece. If it would not move shortly, I would know that I need to make the move again.

Are you asking the about the beeping noise when you register a move from the board to the app and the check noise when you get put in check? I think before you start a game it ask if you want sound on. Are you turning that off? I've always had it off so I don't know what it sounds like with it on and if that is your question
Peter78b you should send a message through the app to support, the contact us button. Maybe they will have a work around. I turned out to be tone deaf after I got mine I came to realize this, so I do not hear the tones when pressing squares, and your correct I have been able to adjust to what happens when you cannot hear pressing the squares. I won't repeat the procedure unless someone else has my problem. I had asked them to change the frequency of the tone so I could hear it but nothing came of it. I am getting a hearing aid soon and will be able to hear the tones, but I doubt I will use it when playing as I would find myself with your problem.

Jr87 - Yes, it is this beeping noise when I register a move from the move. Yes, when I start to play chess, I turn off the sound in the App, but the Square Off board still beeps.

I do not think so, as of now anyway. But I can ask them to add the option. They add new features constantly. I will get back to you 
It is a very nice chess. I love it.
Just pity, that it still does not have the "take back" and "hint" option when you play only with "AI"......
Because sometimes I realize just 1/100 second after my move that I wanted to go somewhere else (means that I have just done a stupid mistake and that I have to resign the game and play again from the beginning).
Adding "take back turn" and "hint button" would be also good for my son in order not to discourage him to play chess (as he from time to time/regularly makes a stupid move).

Hi Guys,
Just got my Kingdom Board here in the UK. Sadly, its not working! It's the Bluetooth thats the problem. If I describe here, maybe someone can help? Removed lock nut, charged up board, turned on. From my Samsung Android and my iPhone 6, I cannot connect. The Samsung shows available devices as SQFKDS so I'm guessing this is the board? But when I try and Pair, nothing happens! The iPhone cannot even show the board as a device available. Both phones show other bluetooth devices in the house so I know the phones are fine. Without bluetooth connection, I cannot run the software or do anything! Is there a reset button on the board or any suggestions I could try, or have I been sent a broken board?????? Cheers
Didn't sound good. Try reinstalling the sftware with the board turned on then reboot both
Contact support trough the app. Request someone to Skype you so they can see the issue.
Thanks Dennis. When you say thru the app, is that via the email link? or is there a button to press in the app? btw have tried installing the software and restarting both. How do you reset board, is that thru the app too, or is there some secret button to press on board? cheers

Just an update. Support contacted me today and told me to connect via the app. I realised that I had a version of the app I downloaded 3 months ago. So I uninstalled it, then downloaded the latest app. The app opened, I pressed connect and MAGIC! It works. Now let the battle commence!
Does the Square off support viewing PGN games?

If you are playing on chess.com - After the game you can log into chess.com and get the PGN / analyze the game as you normally would.
If you are playing an opponent on square off you can use the "analyze this" app to get the PGN and analyze the game.
During the game you do not see the PGN though. I use to write it out like any other otb game but once the chess.com and analyze this integration there has been no need.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the 10% discount if you purchase through Amazon? I'm looking to buy the Grand Kingdom Set, and it's $404 on Square Off's website with that discount code, but the shipping is much slower. I could get it with next-day shipping on Amazon, but the promo code doesn't seem to work there. I'd rather not have to pay an extra 10% for the faster shipping if there's a way around that.
I would imagine Amazon is taking their cut of the proceeds since they ship it, a discount there would not work for the square off company financially. I would guess it is more advertising and exposure for the square off company. It is kind of your choice give the square off people the profit of making the unit or Amazon.

Sorry JP, Amazon doesn't allow the promo code for some reason. You haveto order through there website too take advantage of the discount
I think an user manual is not needed because the system is easy to use, I guess.
