Chessnut Go Ultimate Portable Travel Electronic Chessboard

Bonjour, je possède les Chessnut Evo et go et j'en suis très content. Seules pièces du Evo me gênent, elles sont trop lisses, glissent des doigts. Tombent sur l'échiquier et compte un coup, par ex. Elles devraient être légèrement rugueuses.

I purchased this board so I could play chess with my dad over the board online. I would recommend this as your first computer board.

Great electronic board at awesome price. The super slim board is easy to carry and isn’t too small like a lot of other mobile boards.

Overall is good but
1. Magnetic doesn't that strong enough (like in the commercial.
2. Slow Bluetooth connect: It takes about 1-2 minutes to connect.

Yes just these two issues. Anything else is good. I often play on my bed(to avoid looking smartphone before sleep)After I'm done playing, It has some sweat at the bottom of this board. Maybe it's the heat from my leg and blanket.

Suggestion: Noted that maybe R&D chessnut teams can do something with the sweat issue. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the one who done this xD

I purchased the Chessnut Go about a month after purchasing the Chessnut Evo. I wanted the Evo to learn and play OTB games with at home. It's too large, heavy and cumbersome for travel. The Chessnut Go more than solves those issues.

The travel case it comes with makes it easy to take anywhere. The board is very sturdy but not at all heavy. You can play with the board on your lap or a table depending on where you're at. The pieces are magnetic which makes playing on your lap perfect. The sensors in the pieces are very responsive too.

The Go needs to hook up with the Chessnut app to play against the engines but that's not a problem. I found connecting the two worked perfectly right away. It will verify the board position with the app position.

You get the same level of playing features with the Go that the Evo has. Saving finished games are easy on the app and they sync with the cloud.

My only nit picking is the styrofoam like bags the chess pieces come in. They should be felt drawstring bags that will securely keep the pieces together. I made that change immediately.

If you're looking for a travel chess partner, look no further than the Chessnut Go. Well done Chessnut!
