Description

Our custom-built chess engine offers a solution that lets you generate customized AI opponents based on their actual chess history. By simply uploading their records, you can enjoy a personalized game tailored to their distinct playing style. *The training calculations are processed on the server (40-60 minutes) while Evo can freely engage in other activities. Using a built-in NPU (neural processing unit) to achieve accurate image recognition and simulate human clicks, Chessnut Evo supports prevailing online chess platforms and applications, allowing you to play against opponents from all around the world while experiencing the traditional feel of a physical chessboard. We have currently implemented integration with three platforms: Chess-com, Lichess and ChessKid.Unlike the approach taken in the Air/Pro app, Evo, powered by Chessnut Vision technology, supports a wider range of platforms and game modes, providing you with an enhanced experience. Our next step is to integrate with Chessable. We welcome your suggestions for further improvements, and we will prioritize training and adapting Chessnut Vision AI to the websites that receive more user demand. ince the release of Chessnut AIR in 2021, we have warmly welcomed third-party developers to integrate Chessnut hardware into their chess software. We have already collaborated with several app developers and we sincerely appreciate their contributions. With the launch of Chessnut Evo, we will continue to uphold our open principles and welcome developers to join us. In addition to developing hardware interfaces using the Chessnut Easylink SDK, services like ChessMind and Chessnut Vision will gradually be opened to developers. In fact, Chessnut Evo already has several third-party apps in development that will soon be available on our marketplace module. We look forward to bringing more excellent apps to chess lovers. In Chessnut Evo, there is a built-in push system where we will regularly send you updates on the most popular chess engines, puzzles, and even trending chess news.

    • Great Chess Computer
I find the Evo more fun than I was expecting. I highly recommend this board for people wanting an electronic chess computer. Chessnut vision reads a webpage chess board and works very well with Chess.com and ChessKid.com. I use vision for puzzles, lessons, playing bots, etc. Chessnut vision makes this the most versatile electronic board available. It's helpful to get some 3D puzzle recognition practice. Evo works for playing online opponents, but it is best at longer time rapid games where the time to move pieces is less of a penalty. It you are going to play online opponents, you will want to learn how to flip the board on the screen by swiping down and selecting the flip option, since you don't know if you will be black or white before the games starts. When playing online bots with no clock, Evo performs really well. Evo comes with built-in chess engines, so you can play locally against the Evo as well. A wall charger is NOT included. A Power Deliver (PD) charger is recommended to get 18 watts of charging. Without a PD charger, it will charge at 5 watts. I use an Apple 20 watt charger and an extension cord. My initial negative experience was that Evo doesn't recognize sliding pieces, so until I got into the habit of picking up a piece and placing it, it would record the wrong move and cost me games. Chessnut recommends setting a recognition delay of four tenths of a second if you want to slide pieces. Since Evo can't know when you stop touching the piece, it is better to just never slide your pieces. You can slide the opponent's pieces since evo will wait for the piece to get to the right square. The screen is high resolution and looks great. The speaker could be improved, but it works for my usage. I use the speaker to listen to chess lessons and follow along with them on the Evo physical board. It is faster to do lessons purely online, but it is sometimes fun to do a lesson on the physical board. I tried Evo with the beta of Chess.com API and didn't have any issues. Evo comes with two queens per side. If you are ever in a situation where you need three queens, it will not be able to continue the game. You can purchase an additional set of chess men on the Chessnut website. The pieces are nice. The size of the board and pieces are a good compromise considering the additional board size with the screen. Evo comes with additional felt bottoms for the chess men and felt bags to store the chess men. I also purchased the optional carry bag, which is a great way to store the board. The bag has handles for carrying in the vertical or horizontal orientation and shoulder straps for carrying it like a backpack. The bag is a bit expensive for the quality, but it is a great companion to the EVO, so I am happy with the bag purchase as well. Although Evo is sold on Amazon directly from Chessnut, the prices on Amazon will vary from the prices on the Chessnut website. There are times when Evo will be $100 less on the Chessnut website, which is unfortunate since Amazon makes it simple to click a few buttons and order the Evo. I bought the board from Amazon when the price on Amazon matched the price on the Chessnut website. ... show more

    • Well made, easy to use, all in one. No phone or tablet needed.
Excellent all around. Seems to be well made. Very convenient to have the tablet built in. No paring with phone or tablet, just turn it on and it works. This also keeps you phone free to use. Offers wide range of Bots and difficulty levels. Castling and move take backs work well. The lighting on the squares is easy to see. In Youtube videos the board lights are hard to see, in real use they are easy to see. ... show more

    • Chessnut Evo breaks the rules
I love my Chessnut Evo, it's different. I have several electronic chessboards, all good and following more or less the same operating principles with some special functions that differentiate them from each other. The Chessnut Evo, on the other hand, operates on a completely different principle; for example, it allows me to instantly convert games I'm watching on YouTube into PGNs. There's nothing like it for studying games directly from a book if you prefer to play OTB (over -the-board). This is just the beginning; they still have a lot to improve, but what they offer is already worth every dollar invested. ... show more

    • Don’t Waste Your Money
Amazon box arrived completely fine; Chessnut box was burned, punctured, and damaged. Not kidding. Would not start up open actually opening; then finally, when “started”, it only defaulted into boot mode. Absolutely ridiculous for something that normally costs at least $500.

    • Chestnut EVO
Great chess set and yes it does what is advertised! Only pitfall is lightweight plastic pieces but they don’t bring it down. Also lift pieces don’t slide em…computer reads the chip instantly on the piece.

    • Maybe not (yet) worth the money?!
I love the Chrssnut Evo for what it potentially can do. There are so many ways to learn, train, review etc. Unparalleled especially when connected with Chess.com. Unfortunately that's exactly where Chessnut Evo loses the 5th Star. The software side of it is a mess. In this day and age when you buy a car you would expect the software to work out of the box, right? And still work after an update, correct? Unfortunately although the Chessnut Evo software is ok, in the area that gives me the most opportunities and possibilities to learn and create all kinds of scenarios, the connection with Chess.com the software keeps being a problem. Until the recent update the Chess.com api connection did not work properly/smoothly, but the Chessnut Vision did, incl. Game Review. After the recent software update suddenly the Game Review in the Chessnut Vision mode does not work. Clicking on the "Game Review" button does not do anything. I tried everything to fix this. All software is up to date (i had to jump through hoops to get it all updated, instead of a simple Google Play store) yet it still does not work. Without Game Review a lot of the power of Vhessnut Evo is lost. And for close to $700 incl. taxes you'd expect software updates for anything to do with Chessnut Evo, Chess.com or any other platform tied in with the product would be taken care of. ... show more

I bought this for my grandson. He already plays on line so I thought this will cut Down on his screen time. Saw him playing and enjoying it hence so far so good. The unit appears to be solid and mobile in the case provided. There is a risk of losing pieces in travel so extra care is needed. The pieces are well recognized by the board. ... show more
