I understand your skepticism about the need for this board. Personally, I prefer over-the-board chess over online play. This board will allow me to enjoy OTB chess experiences even when I don't have someone to play with in person. It's a way for me to continue enjoying the game in a traditional manner through platforms like Chess.com
@@agnesemonaviciute Still, it's pointless to buy such a thing - you can simply arrange a normal board, and then move the pieces as you see them on the screen, without tiny lights there. 🙂
@@CitrianSnailBY yes, you could, but then you also have to replicate everything on the PC/app, movign twice at every step... here you only need to move the opponent pieces and can forget about the software during the whole game, so is not just a matter of "tiny lights" but also having your moves transmitted automatically Also, the board records internally the games you play, even offline, so for instance you could be studying annotated games in a book, like you would do with a normal board, but at the end obtain the full PGN notation of the moves It's not a absolutely necessarly tool, of course, but for some people has way more uses than simply a board with leds... also, on PC, it can even connect to 3rd party software like Chessbase, Shredder, SCID and other stuff, thanks to unofficial drivers

😍Super
I think I play way better OTB. My brain doesn't care very much about my digital pieces, I believe.
I cannot *possibly* understand who would need that, and what can this ever be good for, except for the creator's bank account.
