A little trivia for the newer fans of the Novag boards:

Novag made the Citrine in three versions. The original was actually a modified UCB that still had the UCB silkscreen with "Citrine" added. The next two versions had removed the UCB silkscreen. (The first two versions had a lot of bugs. I think there's a thread in this board that discusses some of the version issues.)

I have the UCB, two versions of the Citrine, and two of the full-sized tournament boards (one is unused, still in its original plain cardboard shipping box. Unfortunately, I don't have a big enough desk to hold the full-sized board!).
Cheers,

Jeff B.

Hi Graham

I have a new DGT smartboard with usb
I would like to be able to use it with Chess Position Trainer 5.1.2

There is no official support for it.
Would this be possible to create you think.
I already tried this

1. Copy the DLL and INI files to the LucasChess folder
2. Edit the INI file to set your com port

But I didn't get it to work.

Regards Jonathan
