Hello,
could you tell me where I could find the picochess V3 documentation and in particular the details of the menus and the list of compatible eboards?
Thank you in advance and sorry if the question seems obvious: I discover the software. 
Marco

There was a post here nit so long ago with a short discussion 1-10th of March with the title ”help need manual”.

I am trying to make V4 to work like V3 and its difficult to know all the functions. I did list the comparible chess boards in the readme of V4. See here in the readme: https://github.com/JohanSjoblom/picochess?tab=readme-ov-file#readme-ov-file
Before bying a board it might be a good idea to ask the group if someone uses it.

Yours, Johan

  Hello everybody, I don’t know if I’m posting in the correct thread, but I would like to ask which engine I should use at the lowest level so my kids can play as well. They have been learning chess for about a year now, so they are still pretty amateur.

Todo depende del nivel que tengan tus hijos, pero en las capturas te dejo paso a paso para localizar el motor que simula la máquina centaur de DGT y se adapta a su juego con varios niveles.

It all depends on your children's skill level, but in the screenshots I've included step-by-step instructions on how to locate the engine that simulates the DGT Centaur machine and adapts to their game with various levels.

Hello Antonio,

when i choose Adaptive engine (stfdd) on Level Friendly1 it plays roughly @1200 - 1300 elo on my raspi 5.
Maybe thats not the level thats intended here. But maybe CT800 @elo1000 could be fun.
