Lovely chess board, packaging, designer chess pieces and AI assisted play! Happy to introduce it to my 10-year-old. Was expecting the AI to move the pieces during the game, however it prompts visually the next move. Good enough! Maybe future versions will do it. well-made team!

Absolutely outstanding and amazing the only thing I would say is sometimes as I play it will recognize a piece of mine as either A) the AI opponent or B) just didn't occupy that square for many turns so as I play I'm like what my knight takes that pawn but apparently either piece on occasion wasn't there or was never there, so I have to either go back many turns and replay or unfortunately if it's too far in just stop. With all that being said it is an unremarkable instrument in tech and ches

Love it, if you are learning chess buy the board now. I can play with my small children and teach them the game, against AI, or other online players. I have really enjoyed the board so far.

Just a quick update I tried to let the chess engine mate me in one move, and it wouldn't it!! This program can't even take back a move and let you choose another one it's that bad. I don't know what chess engine this company are using, but it's playing strength is one of the weakest I have ever come across. The so called elo playing strengths are a joke and even at its highest level it still plays very badly. The company needs to replace this engine that can actually play a decent game.

The app doesn't work. No matter if I connect my Harry Potter board or not I just see a yellow screen when I finish sign up and then hit connect later or connect my board, I still get the same result.

Lighting system with hints does not work for me on Android. Only blue lights, even if I select the hints options
