That, is a PS-2 mini DIN connector 01:31 . The PS-2 standard was used mainly for keyboards and mouse devices. Now obsolete, it was replaced by USB-A in the early 2000s.
@@All-Awesome Depending on when that model of chess computer came out, Millennium were transitioning from PS-2 to USB-A. On my DGT Bluetooth boards, they have the older Mini USB-B connector, not USB-C. When I asked DGT why, I was told it wasn't worth spending the extra cost of development. If you want USB-C. then you have the board that doesn't have Bluetooth.
This model was released in 2015. Thanks for sharing the information. It's interesting to note. I have the DGT Pegasus and DGT Centaur models. In a couple of hours, I will be releasing my video about the Tournament 55 by Millennium. It's pretty much similar to the Chess Genius Exclusive.
Hi, thanks for the video. I currently own the Exclusive board. Had it since it came out. I watched your Evo video, and it seems like I might like to make the move. Would you still recommend the Evo over the Exclusive, perhaps? Thanks.
Thanks for watching my videos, and I'm glad that you find them helpful. To answer your question, I think that for portability and convenience, the Evo is suitable since everything is already integrated. However, it does carry some weight, but it is more convenient to get going on a board right away. It's more customizable than the exclusive with additional apps. I hope that in the future, developers create apps to adapt to the Evo. The exclusive, however, feels more elegant with its wooden pieces and feel of playing with a real board. The Evo could still improve with its overall build quality, but it is still playable and joyful with its modern features. The Evo has extra features, unlike the exclusive such as apps integration. Not to mention the need to carry an additional device for the exclusive and those modular units. Hope this helps. Feel free to use my affiliate link for a discount if you do decide on the Evo. All the best ! 👍
do you have to connect this online to play chess looks like you can play chess with out connecting it to the internet I have problems with eyes hands cowardice I live to pay chess 7 dont have anyone to play with this would help me without connecting it I am 80 years old
You don't need to connect this online to play with it. If you want to play against the computer, you will need the chess classics module as shown in the video or any other computing unit to connect to the board from Millennium. You don't need to be connected to the internet because the programs are already inside the computing unit. You can also play over the board with another opponent without being connected to the internet and having the computing unit to record your moves.
Hello ! No i haven't reached 10 years yet, but getting close. "I haven't reached the ten year mark yet", is what i mentioned. sorry for the misunderstanding. Thanks !!

Ah yes, i had a computer with that. Strange how this company decided to go with PS-2 rather than USB in this generation.
@@All-Awesome It is unusual, what were Millenium wanting to conneect with it?
I'm not sure. Same electronics as the PS2 connection, also there is a separate connector for USB that makes it more strange.
