You love chess. But let’s be honest: you hate staring at a smartphone for hours, losing games because of a "mouse slip," and feeling disconnected from the tactile beauty of the game.
You want the convenience of online play with the elegance of Over-the-Board (OTB) chess.
Meet the Chessnut Evo. This isn't just another electronic chessboard; it is the world's first all-in-one Chess Computer, Tablet, and Coach. It doesn't just connect to your phone—it replaces it.
Why the Evo Changes Everything:
1. The "No-Phone" Experience (Standalone Genius)
Most smart boards are just Bluetooth accessories that require you to fiddle with your phone to work. The Evo features a built-in, high-resolution 12.3-inch touchscreen Android tablet.
• The Benefit: You press the power button and play. No pairing issues, no notifications interrupting your focus. Just you and the game.
2. A Human-Like Opponent (Maia AI)
Tired of getting crushed by Stockfish in ways no human would ever play? The Evo runs Maia Chess, a neural network chess engine trained on millions of human games.
• The Benefit: It plays like a human. It makes "human" mistakes. It adapts to your rating (from beginner to club level), giving you a realistic sparring partner that actually helps you prepare for tournaments.
3. Your Books, Digitized (Chessnut Vision)
This is the "killer feature" for students of the game. The Evo’s onboard camera/NPU system has ChessVision.
• The Benefit: Take a physical chess book, open it to a puzzle, and the Evo will "see" the position and instantly set it up on the digital screen. You can solve book puzzles on a physical board with instant AI feedback.
4. The World is Your Opponent
Seamlessly integrated with Chess.com, Lichess, and ChessKid.
• The Benefit: Your opponent moves in London; the LEDs on your board light up in Arizona. You move your physical knight; it moves instantly on their screen. It is the most immersive online chess experience available today.
5. Full-Spectrum Analysis
The board tracks every move with 100% recognition accuracy. After the game, use the built-in screen to analyze your blunders with Stockfish 15 or review the game graph immediately.
The Bottom Line
The Chessnut Evo is for the player who takes improvement seriously but refuses to sacrifice the joy of moving physical pieces. It is the bridge between the digital world of Chess.com and the physical world of the tournament hall.
Don't just play chess. Evolve your game.
