Welcome to the ultimate smart chess ecosystem. Whether you are a casual player looking to study on the go, a club tournament regular, or an enthusiast seeking cutting-edge chess robotics, we have built a board specifically for you.
Every single Chessnut board features our proprietary Full-Piece Recognition Technology and an Open App Ecosystem (Lichess, Chess.com, Chessable). You will never suffer from pressure-sensor errors or closed communities here.
The only question is: Which form factor fits your lifestyle? Let’s break down the four pillars of the Chessnut lineup.
1. The Portable Warrior: Chessnut Air / Air+
The best combination of premium smart tech and everyday portability.
If you want to play matches at the local coffee shop, bring your board on vacation, or simply want an affordable entry into true piece-recognition technology, the Air is your perfect match.
- Size: Compact and highly portable (fits in a standard backpack).
- Key Feature: Lightweight design with the exact same lightning-fast piece recognition chips as our flagship models. The Air+ elevates this with a gorgeous wooden finish for those who want portability without sacrificing aesthetics.
- Best For: Travelers, students, and budget-conscious chess enthusiasts.
2. The Tournament Classic: Chessnut Pro
Invisible technology meeting world-class wooden craftsmanship.
For the purist. The Chessnut Pro is a full-sized, 55mm tournament-standard wooden chessboard. It is designed to feel exactly like the heavy luxury sets used in the World Chess Championship, but packed with hidden technology.
- Size: Full Tournament Size.
- Key Feature: Exquisite wooden pieces and a premium board with no visible screens or buttons. Extremely subtle LED indicators guide your moves invisibly from beneath the wood.
- Best For: Serious club players, OTB (Over-The-Board) practice, and those who want a stunning centerpiece for their living room or office.
3. The All-in-One Powerhouse: Chessnut Evo
The standalone console with a built-in brain.
Hate connecting your smartphone or relying on Bluetooth? The Chessnut Evo is a revolutionary standalone chess computer.
- Size: Medium tabletop (larger than Air, smaller than Pro).
- Key Feature: Features a built-in color touchscreen running an open Android system. You can open the Lichess or Chess.com app directly on the board. Furthermore, it houses the revolutionary Maia Chess Engine, an AI trained on millions of real human games that actually plays like a human, not a flawless calculator.
- Best For: Deep analytical study, focused training without smartphone distractions, and chess tech geeks.
4. The Robotic Revolution: Chessnut Move
Next-generation self-moving robotics with visual AI.
For those who want the pure magic of pieces moving by themselves without the clumsy limitations of older robotic boards.
- Size: Classic tabletop size.
- Key Feature: The Chessnut Move combines our signature full-piece ID tracking with rapid, quiet robotic automation. Because the board knows every piece's identity, you can move multiple pieces by hand instantly. Most powerfully, its Visual Auto-Setup lets you snap a photo of a puzzle, and the board will physically drive the pieces into position for you.
- Best For: Players who love the magic of self-moving pieces, streamlined puzzle setups, and high-tech convenience.
