“WOW! I am grand master level (jk chess.com elo is sub 600) and I am able to play competitive games with my 4 year old daughter! She is actually able to learn from the board an not just make the best moves without understaning. Occasionally we will play a game with the board off; she has mastered piece mechanics and started identifying threats and fair trades without assistance! I love it! It is so fun to be able to play ANYONE on this board and have a fair game.”
“Awesome product, genuinely worth the money this is a really clever piece of kit. My chess-obsessed boys love it. I am nowhere near good enough to give them a game, but by playing on the Chess Up as ‘the bot’ opponent and making the moves as directed by the board we can play together, and it allows me to be involved in their hobby. Plus we can set it up so that ‘I’ play at Grandmaster level, which is a great challenge for them.”
“This is an awesome chess board. The light-up board, and that the pieces know what they are and where they go is great. I know you have to use your phone to set-up the board, but the fact that after that, you don't have to use your phone at all, is fantastic. I like that you can turn on the board, press a few buttons, and start playing someone on Chess.com. Not having an electrical plug-in is nice too, just charge up the board. Good work people!”
“I can finally play with family and friends and the options of assistance make the games more even and fun. The two white bishops didn't highlight the squares when squeezed but the support team immediately sent me replacements and now is working perfectly.”
“I LOVEEE my board! The support team was amazing making sure I was up and running with the board. I've used it to teach others and they love it as well. One of my favorite features is seeing the best moves while playing the bot. It really makes me think to understand the game better.”
