Our verdict

A reasonable choice for a chess learner who wants an electronic board with a plastic set and a printed rulebook, though the listing explains very little about how the electronics work.

Overview

An electronic board running in automatic operation mode is the core of the Chessnut Move, paired with a plastic piece set for solo or head to head games. The listing adds a wood material type, a printed rulebook and a lithium polymer battery supplied in the box.

Chess improvement is the stated goal, and the supplied battery means nothing extra is needed to start. The listing is thin, though: no bullets, no description and two size figures that disagree, so confirm features and board size with the seller first.

Who it's for

Home chess study at an indoor table is the setting, with one or two players. Shoppers who want every electronic feature spelled out should wait, since the listing leaves most of them undescribed.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Electronic board with automatic operation mode
  • Battery supplied in the box
  • Printed rulebook ships with it
  • Supports solo or two player games
Cons
  • Electronic feature details not listed
  • Two conflicting dimension figures in the listing

Performance notes

Sessions run on the onboard lithium polymer battery, so play time depends on its charge, and run time is not stated. Piece recognition and movement behavior are not described in the specs, so accuracy cannot be judged from the listing alone.
