The Chessnut brand of smart chessboards shouldn’t need any introduction. These guys make portable, smart, and even robotic chessboards that work with Chess.com, Lichess, and other platforms. They are great for people who want to play chess online or practice. We have already covered a bunch of them here in the past. The Chessnut Move, EVO, and Go are unique in their own way. For starters, the Chessnut Move is a robotic chessboard that can move multiple pieces at the same time. It has the ability to set up any puzzle without you having to lift a finger. You will also be able to connect it to your phone to have live games played on your desk.
The Chessnut EVO is and Android powered chess computer with a 12.3-inch tablet. It not only lets you play against Maia, Stockfish, and LC0 but also lets you side-load your own applications. Its Stockfish is rated at 3190 ELO at the time of this writing, so even the strongest grandmasters have no chance against it. It has lights to show you feedback on move quality. You will be able to train your own AI engine using your own games.
The Chessnut Go has a very portable design. It is super thin and magnetic. It combines with your phone or tablet to let you play games with low latency. This board works the same as the Chessnut Air, Air+ and Pro. It has a button that lets you record games when your phone is not around. The Move & Evo both have offline modes. We were even able to get the Chessnut Move to play against itself. It has voice control, so you can use Copilot to play against AI hands-free.
