I live in Croatia, Eu; and my Montly Salary is 850€! So, I have to give my whole Salary for this one Chess Set! For me that's Really Expencive!

[SelfishFurniture]

For me the question really is how long will this product receive support from the devs and will I be able to use it for the next 10 years? If I buy an expensive product like that I just need some guarantees

The best review of this product that I have seen. Thanks very much, appreciate the time and trouble that went into making it.

Really like that Chessnut EVO is an integrated system. No smart phone, computer, nor tablet computer required, which eliminates bluetooth connection problems and frees up those devices for other tasks. Playing chess on-screen does nothing to prepare you to play chess over-the-board (OTB). Seeing, feeling, and touching actual chess pieces is important. Imagine future developments that enable the Chessnut EVO board to automatically move opponent's pieces. That would be so cool!

Great for a chess enthusiast who doesn't have a computer, doesn't want a computer, but wants all the chess content a computer would deliver. Brilliant!
I have 3 computers so the extra expense not really worth it for me.

[Kamadev]

I wonder what happens if you want to promote a pawn to a rook, bishop or knight, if the other two are still in the game. These computers don't allow for such a situation, especially since each type of piece has its own identifying chip.
Great 'tight' review by the way.

What an amazing news??? (first chess computer >> 1977)

[Murat]

I rather have just the evo board (new lights) and my own tablet where full google security futures are enabled.

[georgetiberiuduta]

What happens if you damage the screen of the tablet or something, can we change it ? What about the battery, it can be replaced in time ?

[thegreycount]

It is an excellent device, I love mine. Great review!

[valuemastery]

Thanks for showing the bottom of the device. It looks like there is access to the inside. Is this for access to replace the battery?

700$ SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS for a CHESS BOARD 😅😅
I am okay man 🙏

[phenanrithe]

Can't you simply put the black pieces near you when you play black, instead of turning the whole board around?

[VoidObserver]

Does the board have the option to display only a timer for player vs player games?

[gautam]

can i play on this board against the computer without internet connection?

[ValamaMeite]

do they plan to make a tournament size?

[Tortuosit]

Well, they attached an Android device, other peoples engines/software and a Zeitgeist marketing term (AI! Cyberz!). Meh.

Buyer Beware! This product is essentially unreturnable. Returns only approved if the package is unopened and unused. Even then, the process takes about a week of back and forth with the company proving your case with photographic evidence. Unethical.
