The board looks pretty cool but that price (430CAD ~320USD ) is going to be pretty hard to justify for a lot of people

Yeah even 300 AUD is too much but even that price I’d consider it. Nearly 2x the maximum price I’d pay no fucking way

@plebiain 8 ай бұрын

Those boards exist - but I prefer this one because the problem with automatic boards is they always take longer to move the piece than moving it with your hand

@gamemak0r 8 ай бұрын

Making self-moving pieces/chess sets is very difficult and often the solution involves each piece having metal base or magnet and an electro-magnet (a magnet that can be switched on and off with electricity) will be inside the board moving to a piece, magnetically attracting it, then moving along the board. Overall it is a complicated and expensive solution that doesn't always look good because you have to create a system for the pieces like the knight which can jump over other pieces.

I’ve looked at boards like this, but I have one concern about using them for live online games, and that’s how to play when in time trouble. Moving your opponent’s pieces while trying to plan your next move with the clock ticking down sounds impossible.

@JaidynGX 7 ай бұрын

Theyre quite a waste of money too just take a normal chess board and make the moves on your device then do it on the board one extra step for the exact same thing plus you can abandon the board if time is a problem

@BornInOz 7 ай бұрын

This board might make short time controls unplayable due to the time spent physically moving the pieces. Even at longer time controls time scrambles would be very problematic. It's even worse than regular OTB because of the time spent moving the opponent's pieces plus any lag in the board reporting your moves and recording your opponent's moves.

@captain_britain 7 ай бұрын

I own one - you're right about short time controls, but there's no physical board that could do it any faster. I've enjoyed using the board for rapid & the occasional blitz, though!

Cool concept. I hope we have more competitors in the smart chess board market, then we'd have better features like opponent's pieces moving automatically (although I'm curious to see how they'll achieve that for the knight moves), for more reasonable prices. Right now, $300 (on sale) seems waaaaay too much for what we're getting in return, but maybe that's just me.

In games where I am playing against a much stronger opponent I love to analyze with computer afterwards to find out where I went wrong but in games where I lose badly to someone ranked closely I am more inclined to just say it was a bad day but then I won't be motivated to play again for the rest of the day.
