The Chessnut electronic boards are some of the best we have tested. The Air, Air+ and Pro can connect to your computer, tablet, smartphone, and even DGT Pi to let you play against an AI or online opponents. Go has very similar features but is very portable. It also has a game recorder just in case you don’t have your tablet around. It is nice to know the company is now working on a robotic chess. The Chessnut Move is a robotic chess board with full piece recognition, voice control, and built-in Stockfish engine. It gives you hints with LEDs. It is powered by a quadcore Cortex A53 processor. The battery life lasts up to 8 hours.
We have covered many chess robots in the past, including the Fidelity 6100 Phantom, Milton Bradley Grandmaster, Novag 2Robot, and Square Off. Most of them move the pieces one by one. This model moves multiple pieces at the same time. It lets you play on your favorite platforms such as Lichess and Chess.com.
You can order the Chessnut Move with plastic and wooden pieces. The board measures 52 x 63.2cm. You will be able to import endgame positions and even start games based on chess videos.
