ChessUp 2 - Electronic Chess Board by Bryght Labs - Built-in WiFi, Chess Engine - Includes Chess Set TouchSense Pieces - Light Up Smart Chess Board - with AI, Lessons, Wireless Play & Companion App

I love chess. I'm good at chess. I can't find people around me that like chess and offer a meaningful challenge. Enter Chessup 2. I can't connect it seamlessly to my Chess.com account and play bots, practice, and play whenever I want. Even without the Chess.com interpretation, the board has built in AI opponents that challenge me and make the experience fun and engaging. It's large enough to be comfortable to play in, but compact enough that it fits in my laptop backpack and I can take it places if I want. It's not designed for travel, but for camping of vacation, I imagine it would travel well enough. It feels solid, but is light weight. The pieces have some decent weight, but are not as heavy as other premium pieces. A small compromise, and in my opinion, worth it. They have a nice clank and do not sound or feel cheap. The integration of the LEDs in the board and the individual settings for two player, means my daughter can get hints while I get only legal moves, showing her how to best place pieces and she's learning to strategize. Myself, as a more experienced player, find the CPU challenging enough to be engaging and fun. I have also improved using this board. By This is the best "toy" I've purchased in a while. I find it to be well built and it works as advertised, with setup only taking a couple minutes. Now, it's turn it on and it connects. I have been playing other people o er the board too and I'm never without an engaging opponent. Worth it, if you enjoy chess, no questions about it.

Great product! Definitely 5 stars. I like playing on chess dot com. That’s why I got it. Playing the ChessUp robots with help on is a great training tool.

I’m teaching my 6 yr old granddaughter how to play chess. This is the ideal board for everyone from novice to experienced players. Easy to use; easy to learn.

Excellent product! Made Christmas memories ❤️

STOP!!! If you found this chess set and you are worried about the price relax. This is a quality product, and settling for less gets you just that. Its not a work of art but it does work well. Only a few cautious notes. Its a real effort to get it hooked into your wifi and set through chess.com and the chessup app on your phone. You will probably be at it for a while. Especially with the clunky user interface on the screen. Have faith. You can do it. When you're done the worst is over. I was upset to have my order come packaged in a larger Amazon box but no packing material to keep it from banging around inside. This is a delicate and costly mechanism and should be shipped with better care. I was lucky and it worked perfectly out of the box. Looks good. Feels good. Works good. Great for chess enthusiasts.

I love playing chess on the Chess.com app on my phone. I just got ChessUp 2 and it is exactly what I was hoping for and more. It lets me play other people through the internet with a real board

Works wonderfully well. There are chess pieces to move just like on a regular chess board. One can set the game to whatever difficulty level is desired. Board lights up if a move is not allowed. My 13 year old grandson loves it. I am very pleased.

My son absolutely loves this chessboard! There are a few pros and cons to it starting off with the pros would be that it has a great blasting battery life and that it is simple to set up and use. The bill quality definitely seems like it is sturdy and that the company has put effort to make sure they have a quality product the chess pieces stay in place well but of course are not super strong. The way of the board is medium. I would enjoy it to be a little more lightweight, but understand that the build and technology might add some of the weight.
