Thanks for sharing. Just purchased it. I can recommend joining a local chess club, mine is very small, just 8 people who regularly meet on Thursdays at a local school.
@@TerencePetersenAjbro I was defeated many times ! I only started picking up chess later in life, we mostly learn from the games we lose. It's the adrenaline and fun that keeps me playing ! I think that as long as you have the motive, keep playing regardless !
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!
I am awaiting the chessup 2 at the moment. I think it comes down to your preferences. The Evo has a larger screen, and both boards are integrated with chess.com and lichess. The Evo may be a little bulkier with some weight to it than the chessup 2, I suppose. Chessup 1 has come a long way for chessup 2, and now both boards have significant similarities like piece recognition and great LEDs. You may favor the chessup 2 pieces to the Evo if you perhaps want bigger looking pieces. I do have chessup 1, and I think the pieces are great.
Hello there ! Thanks for your feedback. Regarding your question, there is a usb C slot. It works like a phone for storage, etc, if you were to connect it to a PC. If there's a suitable app you can use to play through a wired connection, it should work if it's an android app. By manufacture default, i haven't come across any feature regarding your question.
Hi. Yes, you can play a chess game against the computer without an internet connection. You may download and install chess programs as well as use them without an internet connection. It already comes with engines pre-installed.
Behind you seems to be an old auto-play computer chess, that moves pieces magnetically with a mcanism under the board. Am I right? Milton or Milton Bradley? Have a small chess computer collection here started more than 30 years ago...
Moving the opponent's move can be a bit of a nuisance. However, i owned a few mechanical robotic chess robots in the past, and they failed over time. Maybe the new models coming out like the Chessnut Move will work better in the long term. Also, another thing to consider is blitz and timed games. A robotic move must be fast enough to counter the time limit.
It's fun to play and addictive. At the time of the recording of this video, I mentioned a few bugs to iron out. They have improved its use overall by now with updates. I like the convenience of not having to set up with a phone and that everything is integrated. I like the bag 🎒 aswell since it can be carried on your bag or the side, but i think it's pricey. The pieces are quite glossy, we can change the pieces with wooden pieces from Chessnut also. Build quality could be improved a little, but it's not a big deal. Overall, it was fun to play.
@All-Awesome thank you very much for your input. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. It's going to be impossible for us not to give similar reviews of some of these products. I hope we can work together to keep everyone up to date on the current market and changes/updates to existing products. Have fun with the board!
Nice Video! Realy good deep Review. Perhaps you should remove the background music. It is Kind of disturbing. Excuse My english and the German autocorrect.
That is true. The main reason why Chessnut manufactured this board with an integrated screen is so that it can be used standalone. Making it more convenient for a user to set up and use his/her phone for other uses and conserve battery.

We're gearing up to launch a chess robot and we'd really value your input to make it the best it can be! We're especially keen to chat with potential users like you about what features you'd like to see and what you think would be a fair price. Just to give you a bit of background, we're part of a team within a leading AI company in Asia, specializing in board game robots. We've already launched two successful robot products that combine cutting-edge AI tech with robotic arms. They've been a hit in China for the past 2 years, making their way into tens of thousands of homes. I sent more details to your email address with a questionaire,please check!

Hello 👋. Yes, it's a good idea. I actually participate yearly for local tournaments.
@@All-Awesome So do I, in West Sweden. Got totally demolished last Saturday against a 1800+ player. But then our whole club did too!

Yes ! I totally agree, and I'm looking forward to their future developments.
Nice video! Looks like a good activity that takes you away from the PC and mobile screen..
Fantastic video. Informative, to the point, and comprehensive. Great work.
Thank you for your feedback ! Much appreciated.
looks awesome !
which one would you choose chessnut evo or chess up 2

Very informative review!
Is there an USB slot to use for an extension to play with a wired connection instead of playing on the Wi-Fi?

Thanks for the review. Is it still possible to play a game if the Internet is down?

Hello, that is the Excalibur Grandmaster. I had the Milton Bradley, but unfortunately it broke down.
I like these things but moving for the opponent is a pain

Thanks for the video! How do you feel about this board after owning it for some time?

@skymantechnology8329 Sure ! I checked out your channel, too. 👍 Thanks !

Thank you for your kind feedback. I'll consider removing any background music for future videos. Thanks again.
This has the same issue as car infotainment screens, you're paying for a dedicated screen. The screen on the left can be replaced by a phone app.
That is true. The main reason why Chessnut manufactured this board with an integrated screen is so that it can be used standalone. Making it more convenient for a user to set up and use his/her phone for other uses and conserve battery.

Hello, thanks for reaching out. I have just submitted the questionnaire.
@@All-Awesome Thank you😄
A robot that pays chess? Interesting.
@@happyhornet1000yes. I believe that they are currently developing a version for Western Chess. They currently sell a robot that plays Chinese Chess.
@@All-Awesome I think I saw this online. Is it a white robot arm? Did they mention the name of the company?
