CHESSNUT Product Family

CHESSNUT AIR

Since the launch of CHESSNUT AIR on Kickstarter in May 2021, we have garnered the support and patronage of chess enthusiasts from various countries and regions, amassing a large and devoted fan base. What sets Air apart is its unique feature of each chess piece having its own individual chip, a one-of-a-kind innovation. Additionally, it has shed the bulky and expensive nature of traditional chess sets, earning high praise for its portable size, and its remarkable value for money.


CHESSNUT PRO

In 2022, we also unveiled our CHESSNUT PRO. Building upon the features of AIR, our PRO version is crafted entirely from wood and comes equipped with handmade wooden chess pieces. The use of premium quality wood adds a touch of sophistication, while the tournament standard large size provides consumers with an even more perfect gaming experience.


Revolutionary New Product

In May of 2023, our newest product, CHESSNUT EVO, is set to be unveiled. The EVO boasts a premium wooden casing, featuring an environmentally friendly spray paint, and a classic black and white color scheme, complete with multi-color full-grid LED lighting that makes it easier to track your opponent's every move. But the EVO is more than just a sleek, modern design. Equipped with advanced chips, it provides a more responsive experience when moving chess pieces. It also features a built-in high-definition touchscreen display, allowing for offline play and global connectivity, freeing you from the constraints of a smartphone screen. The most notable feature of the EVO is its customizable, personified AI. It supports the importation of a large amount of chess game data and automatically learns through computer game analysis, generating a unique AI opponent that can be customized to match your preferred playing style. This makes gameplay more challenging and realistic, as the AI reacts to player actions in a more intelligent and authentic way. With EVO, you can overcome the limitations of space and time, allowing you to enjoy a game of chess with loved ones or receive lessons from a chess master anytime, anywhere. The most intelligent chess AI in the world is about to meet you.
