Thanks to this, you can fold your new e-board, carry it easily under your arm, or fit it in the luggage to take on a trip!

Handcrafted out of real wood

As lifelong chess lovers, we appreciate every little, tangible detail and beauty of a traditional set. That’s why we customize and control each aspect of iChessOne, from the piece design to the luxurious and safe packaging. Our sets are handmade in Europe out of Beech, Sycamore, and Mahogany wood, with a felt finish.

High-end set with hidden electronics

iChessOne looks and feels just like a traditional, luxurious wooden set. You can’t even tell it’s electronic until you start playing. When not in use, the LEDs are not visible, as they are subtly hidden inside, under the wood, along with all the electronics.

Insert fits two extra queens

Our board stands out with its absolutely unique insert that fits all 34 pieces, including two extra queens. Additionally, you will find an elegant wooden phone stand, a pen, and a USB cable inside.

Authentic chess experience

We carve our pieces in the classic Staunton style and make boards in the tournament size, adhering to the standards of the International Chess Federation. This is why our sets are perfect both for professional and aspiring players, who value the importance of visual habits, as well as for amateurs, who want to feel the spirit of the professional chess world!

Control of chess rules

iChessOne ensures that the game is played correctly according to the rules of chess, including positioning and moves, order of moves, castling, and pawn promotion. It signals not only errors but also provides instructions on how to return to the correct setting.

Multicolor LED for advanced communication

Our multicolor LED lights not only look great but primarily they communicate more complex issues to you. iChessOne can indicate the quality of movements, such as blunders, mistakes, good and best moves. Additionally, they signal incorrect moves or the need to complete a castling.

Available moves indication

A helpful feature that can be selected in the app and used in any game mode. When you pick up a piece, LEDs indicate the available moves to choose from.

Beginners Mode

A special game mode for beginners to help them quickly gain chess skills. Using multicolored LEDs, iChessOne shows you available moves along with their evaluation: red (error), orange (mistake), blue (good), pink (best). Beginners Mode is available only while playing against AI.

Another feature to help you learn and improve! If you click on HINT in the application, the chessboard will highlight the square with the piece, which moves you should consider. If you need more help, click on MOVE, and the board will show you exactly where to move the piece. Hints & Tips are available only while playing with AI.
