“The ChessUp chessboard has exceeded my expectations! Its seamless integration of physical and digital play provides a truly immersive chess experience. The sleek design, coupled with the app's insightful analysis, enhances both casual and competitive games. A must-have for chess enthusiasts seeking a modern and interactive gaming experience.”
“I am enjoying ChessUp quite a bit since purchasing the game. It provides for a nice relaxing time and the technology makes it easy to learn. I’m very happy that I’ve made this purchase. My only other comment is that I didn’t receive the bag, poker chips, stand, etc., that I also ordered in my initial purchase.”
“Bought it for our children who enjoy playing chess at very different levels.
Easy to set up and use.
AI opponent and AI assistance are great for learning or for a challenging match.
App set up was almost automatic. Still exploring options.
Overall a great purchase”
“Great product. Did know it was on shark tank until I looked it up. It's great for playing, learning,and teaching chess and checkers. For all ages, my 3 year old is already learning the names and placement of the pieces and my 9 year old is starting to learn strategies of both games. Great great great product. Worth the price”
“This is an outstanding learning tool for my grandsons, who are 4 and 6 years old. We have only used it without the App, but there is plenty of learning opportunities without using the App.”
“I am not sure what to write about Bryght Labs - I can write about ChessUp. Very good board. I like that fields are brightly lighted when moves are evaluated. I like that it is possible to control board without phone as well. That is a very very good advantage against other boards - which is strange why others have not thought about it. Perhaps there could be next stage of development when the lighted fields can send some info, I.e., when board for some reason got messed up (that happens when accidentally few pieces are moved and not placed back when played against ai - then board loses control what is going on and stalls). For example the board is messed up but you want to recover the game to continue from last location - then fields could show what to place where - say fields would have small symbols of knights, pawns etc so that one could place fields to location accordingly and restart. You probably could do it if you use app - but beauty would be to avoid phone altogether.”
“First, I was relieved that the product was well-designed and that it functioned correctly upon opening the package since the item was purchased at the beginning of October as a gift to be given to one of my daughters for Christmas.
With that being said it has since met all expectations and worked flawlessly for several games per day over the past two weeks. Due to the high-quality construction, we expect to receive many years of trouble-free enjoyment!”
“I bought this for my 8 year old for Christmas. He loves it, and is constantly playing against the AI. The pieces and the board have high build quality.”
“I was having a hard time affording a board, so I looked for a used board on reddit. Chessup support found me and offered me an opened box board at a discount, out of nowhere. The support has been so friendly, and incredibly professional. I am down right amazed as the level of service the chessup company has shown.”
“Super well executed. I've been playing chess since I was a child, but I've found it hard to teach others because of the complexity. ChessUp accelerates a huge hurdle to learning Chess, which is the movement of each individual type of piece. Super clever and well executed”
“It works as advertised. I haven't experienced anything close to resembling a bug in their chess system. That's what it is. A systematic approach to improving your chess game. This board hasn't left my coffee table since I received it two weeks ago.”
“I bought the ChessUp board, bags, and phone holder. Everything has been pretty great so far. The kids and I have played nearly 300 games on the board so far. We have played the ai up to lvl 16, played each other, played online games on chess.com, and even had the ai play itself. There have been a few bugs/issues along the way but nothing major. Most of them have gone away as we have figured things out. I posted a bug regarding chess.com play as black and it was patched pretty quickly. It’s been a great motivator and made chess feel more accessible for the kids. I will say that I have found the assist mode to be hit or miss with suggested move quality. But there are settings I can tinker with to see if it helps. Overall, really happy I got it despite the additional cost as compared to chessnut or others like it.”
