Dear Chess Friends!
I believe that every chess player should find his own way for playing chess. While some prefer the online world, using various websites and apps, others choose the classic wooden set not only for tournaments but for daily practice.
Many people study chess online, so when they come to the tournament they need to play on a wooden board with real chess. Then the perception of the position is completely different. It takes time to readjust from an online board to a regular one. If you combine your practice online and on a wooden board, the adaptation for the tournament will not be needed. So, you will be able to play strongly straight away.
The new iChessOne board is perfect for it! It is the first foldable electronic chessboard integrated with chess servers. It also has an internal memory feature that will save your played games for future analysis. So, if you play a game in the traditional way (both players on the same chessboard), the iChessOne will remember it and allow you to generate the PGN for game analysis. Currently, it is connected with lichess.org, and is also going to integrate with chess24.com and chess.com in the future.
What is iChessOne?
It is a tournament-size wooden electronic chess board that you can carry, just like classic chess, anywhere you want on vacation, to the park, or to the restaurant. That is why it was decided to make it foldable!
Why iChessOne?
Portable - dedicated contactless data transmitters enable signal transmission between the two halves and assembly of the chessboard
Classic wooden chess board - for fans of naturalness, it is a traditional foldable wooden tournament chessboard with electronic features
Tournament size - tournament size chessboard with Staunton 5 pieces, which is officially approved by the International Chess Federation
Magnetic connector - allows you to connect power source (i.e., power bank) to the chessboard
All in one: 34 pieces (with two extra queens), USB cable, mobile phone stand and a pen are inside the chessboard, which makes it an elegant wooden case easy to transport
As this chessboard is a startup, unfortunately, you can’t buy it yet. But you can sign up for a waiting list and get a special pre-launch price!
