Wow
why havent you uploaded more videos? dont be afraid to subject people to your "novice gameplay"
I really enjoyed learning and making this video, but as you say I am by no means 'good" and people on here can be very harsh, hah.
@@hybricechess aha you said it not me :o the video is insanely well made and miles ahead of most of the competition. you got what people want!
What is this game? It makes no sense.
_Finally, someone got it right!_ - Finally? ... DGT wooden E-boards have had piece recognition since the 1990s and approved for use in World Chess Championships in 1998.
@@channelsixtyseven067 they have, but they don’t have user facing apps with integration for common platforms like chess.com. And DGTs implementation on the consumer side is way more unreliable and janky, the Pegasus and Centaurs are a good example of this.
Can it play out a perceived set up
seems you could play tournaments at lichess? and probably also puzzles?
When the player lifts a piece does it give all the options by lighting up leds?
That's what the ChessUp board does
how long did it take to deliver as i’m from the UK
Very useful review here! Can you play a game of chess 960, I wonder without having to hook it up to the Internet? And if it uses Stockfish 13, do you know what the ELO rating happens to be please? Many thanks for this! At present, I find it pretty costly since I'm a 76-years old pensioner... but maybe if I wait a while...??!!
Did you ever buy the pro?

"Open up the Chessnut application..." on what? Windows? Mac? Who thinks this way? There are two major computer platforms (at least) and as far as I can tell, for some reason, very few of these work on MACOS... And yes, one can install Parallels...for more money...with the additional expense of buying the Windows OS...and all the anti-virus needed for Windows. Am I missing something? Why is the chess community so Windows focused? Just wondering...time to start breathing again...
Their app works on both and I recorded this on Mac, why don’t you chill out and have a glass of water…
Absolutely junk did not work from day 1 ,horrible tech support..cost me $30 to send back.. Do Not Get this...
Man I want one of these new fancy e boards so badly. But they gotta get real with these prices. You can get a computer, ps5 , go kart , and more for what some of these cost. They would sell millions if they stopped gouging.
I don't think it's gouging at all. There's a lot of engineering that goes into these boards, and they're made by small companies that can't operate on tiny margins like Sony can with the PS5.
@@montagdp Yeah no way lol. It’s easy to look up what’s in this board. They are for sure over priced no matter how you look at it. It’s not an opinion it’s a fact.
@@SticksAandstonesBozo do you think that the cost of bringing a product to market is just the cost of its components?
Given that even playing 15+10 time trouble is an issue these products do not interest me at all. If you were to play someone who was using a similar interface it would make sense, but once you get into rated blitz and rapid I'm pretty sure these things are just frustrating
Just some advice, if you put a sock on your microphone (or a pop filter), you can help prevent your P's and B's from being so terrible. If you have a clip on, idk, experiment around, i imagine someone makes tiny mic socks.
I just can't get behind the idea of an e-board. Either I am playing on a very nice board against someone, or I am playing online digitally. I have been playing that way for a decade at minimum. I think it is a nice concept for beginners, but it doesn't work for me.
They should add a few spare queens to the set. Kinda ruins the whole idea when a major aspect of the game isn't available to use out of the box
I wish you would have reviewed in person, player vs player as with a friend in the kitchen. Does the board record the moves?
Lame. I thought it was an air table that moved the pieces
How Long does the battery Last.
I would be interested to know if it's still holding up 10 months later? I'm thinking about indulging myself...
Are you going to do another review?
Did you look at Chessup? Did you try it's learning mode, where it analyzed your games.
Good question! ChessUp looks very promising. No, I.m not affiliated at all
Noob, I do not think so, by far and away the best review for any chess product I have seen.
Did you have to pay any additional charges when you imported your Chessnut Air ? I’m in the UK and concerned that I may have to pay VAT etc on top of the £33 postage charge.
did you end buying it? wondering the same
This is fantastic, only thing missing is a timer on the side or something.
I bought a chessnut pro and it doesn't work at all . . .for me it was a big waste of money
Just wondering, I'm planning on playing late at night. Can you mute the sound it makes when there's a check?
Not online on linux!
I don't think it's worth it if you're only going to play on your own. I can do the same thing with a normal board, I'd just have an extra step of moving my own piece digitally. Which isn't much effort on a touchscreen. I think digital boards would only be worth it if the pieces moved on their own.
The board is too small for real life chess.
How so? Do you mean tournaments? Because it's certainly plenty big for two players to play in real life...
This was very asmr for me 😂 your voice is so nice!
do you think it would work well for playing another opponent in-person for blitz games? i wanted the option to record blitz games when i meet up with a friend in real life
Great video, its been several months so have they released any updates that fixed any issues like the latency?
I like the idea, I don't like the design of the knight
May I ask a really stupid question? I’m old and not brilliant with technology: if I’m having to use my mobile phone, will it put my phone bill through the roof ? 😱😱😱 Further, can it be used standalone without being ‘connected’ anywhere ?
As long as your phone or device is connected to Wi-Fi, no this will not cost you anything to run. It can be used as a normal chess board of course but for most of the features it will require at least a Bluetooth connection (from the board to the phone)
How easy is the tutorial part of the board
Fantastic and fair review.
How would you underpronote to a piece that is already on the board and you don't have an extra piece?
I would argue that novices have the most fun playing chess. Keep having fun!
Got a refund back from the failed SquareOff Kickstarter of their auto-moving board... going to put the money towards this, I reckon. Was either going to be Chessnut Air or the Pokemon chess board from the Pokemon Center! 😂
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I noticed when I choose the option to play the computer, and I want to play black, the iPhone app behaves rather weirdly. In settings there is no option to "Flip Board.' There is only the option to "Flip Pieces" and then, or so it seems, you then have to turn your phone upside down in order to have the correct orientation for the black pieces, but the white pieces do not "flip" so they appear upside down compared to what one is used to seeing. And, of course, everything else on the iPhone screen is upside down (except for the black pieces). Am I missing something?
could you explain this further?
Well, it’s been a while since I’ve used it, but I’ll give this a shot. Keep in mind. of course, there is always the possibility that I missed something. But from what I remember, the problem was this. Say, e.g., I’m playing white and the screen looks as one would expect-white pieces at the bottom of the screen and black pieces at the top. It's normal. So, for whatever reason, I chose “flip pieces.” Now black pieces are at the bottom of the screen and white pieces are at the top. Fine, that’s what you would expect. But, as I recall, the black pieces-now my pieces, were upside down. So, with a willingness to be flexible, I simply turn my phone upside down. So now the black pieces have the correct orientation (right side up and nearest me), but the white pieces are upside down. And of course, everything else on your phone is upside down because, well, that’s how you’re holding your phone. All I remember is, at the time it, seemed screwy, and being ADD I went on to something else and haven’t used it in a while. I hope that’s clear.
Such a good review. Very clear and informative, covering every aspect of the device. If only all reviews were this good. Please bring us more on other AI boards.
I’d love to, I’ve asked DCT for review items but nothing as yet. Keep you posted :)
I was hoping to find a board where it moves the opponents pieces using magnets LOL
They exist, they’re just very expensive. They also don’t function as nicely as you’d think, the knights moving is particularly awkward.
@@hybricechess Yeh I wondered how they would get the Knights to jump. I want one like in Star Wars with animated horses LOL
Hi, I just purchased the ChessNut Air but when playing with either the Chessnut or the White Pawn app, I loose Bluetooth connectivity in the middle of the game at least once or twice a day (using an iPhone on OS 16). What's up with that? Is this faulty hardware?
Hi there, I can’t speak for the manufacturer. I’d suggest trying it with a different device to rule out a phone issue. If it still happens then yes, it would suggest hardware fault and I’d contact ChessNut about a replacement.
@@hybricechess thanks for your reply! I’m using my iPad now and there it works fine, no more BT disconnects. It’s still very weird because no other BT devices disconnect with my iPhone…pretty stumped by this to be honest.
Great video, I bought the board for €171.55 (March 2023) and free shipping, and I received it in Spain in 6 days. I haven't seen anything like it at this price. It works exactly as you describe it in the video. I have the DGT Centaur and the Millennium Chess Pro, and I bought the Chessnut Air for the online game. I'm happy about the shopping.
put a link where did u get it for 171 eur
That would be rad if it had magnets that moved the opponents pieces for you.
There is one which does that.
@@shubhamchawla9148 Which board does that?
@@biswarupdas1861there are many now at least 2 I know
Square off chess board
But how whould the knight move past other pieces If it moves by itself?
That board looks awesome.
6:03 your reaction 💀
I know, I was just mindlessly playing and moving pieces to prove a point but when I hung the queen I was still like….oh….hopefully nobody notices that 🤣
