WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY
Samuel N.
ChessUp is a game-changer for remote play. Its seamless Chess.com integration makes long-distance matches feel personal, while the sleek design excels in regular play. The intuitive LED move assistance is a "curiosity magnet," successfully drawing in non-players and making the game approachable for everyone. It's the perfect social board.
Jordan M.
Got my board - it's awesome! And now my wife wants to play me more because she can't blunder!
Guy T.
My kids played about 8 games today. They love it! So easy to use.
John T. Consulting
Fantastic system... great for beginners through avid experienced players. We love how two can play in person, but easily engage anyone on line or play the 'system'.
Abe F.
I enjoy mine! Travel case is sweet. Playing OTB is way different from playing online.
