Review: must have for chess lovers - amazing product
Review: 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 desertcart directly from Chessnut, the prices on desertcart 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 desertcart makes it simple to click a few buttons and order the Evo. I bought the board from desertcart when the price on desertcart matched the price on the Chessnut website.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by S***H on 20 March 2025*

I YouTube'd this Chessnut Evo to death. It was probably more than I wanted to spend on a digital chessboard. But having recently started playing chess with my brother in Oz (I'm in the UK) on Chess.com with iPads, I thought it would really enhance the experience. It really did, fantastically. I was so impressed that I ordered him one too, direct from Chessnut and got them to ship it to him. So we both ended up playing on Evo's. It's been great. I since ordered a set of the wooden pieces for myself and him. They are much nicer to use and look at. So everything was rosy, then yesterday it stopped working. The screen was blank and wouldn't switch on. It was near fully charged but nothing. I tried the 'reset' button but still nothing. I was gutted. So reluctantly I've returned it to Amazon. My brother's Evo is still working fine and he loves it. I'm back on the iPad :-( Having read the reviews of others I've realised that my box had no seal and no screen protector either. I hope Chessnut sort out all these annoyances because it is a fantastic self- contained package. UPDATE: I originally gave the Evo a 3* rating, which was a bit harsh to be honest. At the time I was very disappointed that it just stopped working. All said and done it is a great chess computer and I miss it. So much so that I've decided to order another one to replace it. I've also got an Air+ and a Pro with the premium pieces. But for having everything in one piece of equipment....... the Evo is the way to go IMHO. Mind and treat yourself to the better wooden pieces though, the supplied plastic ones are a bit naff :-( FYI Amazon were great with their returning policy and method, do easy now. Chess tech, the makers of the board, are really helpful too. All emails were answered and resolved within two days. Hope this helps.
