“Exactly like the ads. My 8yo daughter loves it and has played daily since getting it with her friends, US, and her grandmother. She is learning quickly and now teaching friends.”
“I received my chess board as a gift. I have been using it consistently since then. I appreciate the quality of the product and the interaction with the App. I also purchased a carry-on case to travel with it on my trips.
It is a good product that I hope to become more price-competitive for the game's sake. If the mission of Chess Up to have more young people learn and appreciate chess, then that will be the case.”
“I'm a mediocre chess player, but am learning strategies and special moves with Chessup. I also purchased the checkers so that when I'm tired of losing in chess, then I can play checkers! LOL!! Great set in my opinion. Quality construction! A little pricey, but worth the money.”
“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.”
