“This is one of the coolest and most well-executed concepts I've seen. I haven't played extensively yet (only against the AI so far), but I'm very impressed with my ChessUp board. It's responsive and works wonderfully!”
“The board quality is way above expectation! From the chess pieces to the board overall feel is of high end quality Had it for two weeks so far and still enjoying a lot with my son. On line play on lichess have been great so far and really looking forward to be able to play on chess.com with this board.”
“I have to say ChessUp is the best Kickstarter reward I have ever received. And I've backed many projects, some of which were epic fails.
I have commissioned custom-made chess boards, and I have many sets: I adore craftsmanship and high-quality items. ChessUp doesn't disappoint! The packaging is retail quality, and something you'll want to keep. The physical hardware is quality, it's something to inspire you when you use it. If you've ever experienced the delight of unboxing an Apple product, I assure you that unboxing ChessUp will give you the same sense of delight.
Out-of-the-box experience is great. Setup, connection, and calibration were a snap! This, again, is something you'd expect from an Apple product: it just works!
Hopefully, others will improve their chess as I intend to do. I am sure you won't be disappointed with your purchase. It's a quality piece of kit.”
“From the team that gave the world some of the best technologies in hand wearables, it would be criminal not to back their newest project that helps folks learn chess , one of the best mind games ever made. Apart from the quality of the equipment it was the vision of the team to marry AI with the game mechanics to make it a learning platform that really attracted me to the game. That and the fact that I could really now learn the nitty grottoes of the game and best my dad at it.
Love the team, love the product they have created and the vision behind it.”
“I can't comment on using the product yet since I just received it. But the buying experience was great. There were very convenient payment options and the item I purchased was received in the timeframe promised.”
“I bought this for my mom. She loves battling the AI and she uses it to teach kids chess. The kids like the lights and the guidance shown on the board.”
“While the ChessUp production delays were disappointing, the staff at Bryght Labs did a great job of updating the backers in a detailed and timely manner. So far I have thoroughly enjoyed my new board. I can't wait until the game analysis function is released and they start rolling out tutorials!”
“Love this board. Completely worth the wait. I have been learning and so have my children. My 8-year-old is asking almost daily if I want to play a game with him. Fantastic build and excited to see how the app updates continue to improve things.”
“I'm fairly new to chess. In the short time I've been using Chess Up it's improved my game. It's interesting to observe the moves that the AI makes. Excellent way to learn.”
“Partnering with Bryght Labs has been an invaluable experience overall. Their launch of the ChessUp this year has been an incredibly smooth rollout and has allowed us to further grow our product assortment with a truly beautiful Chess Computer. The ChessUp is one of the most feature-rich Chess Computers on the market today and we are proud to add it to our product catalog!”
“Great product to improve your chess and also when playing with someone weaker! The Android software still has a few bugs but the team is working on them. I totally recommend this product!”
