Portable Touch Control Electronic Chess Game Board for Kids to Learn and Play

I enjoy playing chess, but with a full board, 32 pieces, needing another person, and the stability sometimes you just can't get in your fix. I'm not a fan of the chess apps and I don't often have internet for playing on websites or online so this product is right up my ally. I'm no chess master, in fact I'm quite bad at chess but the computer difficulty can be anywhere from a simple casual game to a more serious one.

Oldest kid loves using this for a car game to up his chess skills, with the many different skill levels it works great to build confidence and skills.

I think this is overpriced at $35, since its 2020 and most people will just play on their phones. However, this seller has these on E bay for $29.99. Even at $30, it's still a little overpriced in my opinion, but if you like old school handheld games (like I do) you'll get over, because the game functions very well and includes checkers, connect four, 20 chess levels and 100 chess challenges . Bottom line is, I don't regret my purchase.

I was really excited to get this item. It arrived, and I began to play. Worked OK for a while. My FIRST indication that something might not be great was when the chess game decided to randomly change my white queen into a black queen for the AI opponent. Like... what!? No, it was not some weird "game mode," and no, it was not a pawn promotion - I was playing a normal game and had my queen set up in what I thought would be a good spot, and when I looked again, my queen was gone - it had apparently "switched sides" for no reason. I know it no chess rules that allow chess pieces to autonomously decide if they would like to go full turncoat, lol. It worked fine for a while after that with no random side-switching, but at a certain point the touch screen just stopped working. Yes, I have tried the reset button; yes, I have tried new batteries, and so on. The device just... stopped working one day. If you want a chess game, unless you like chess pieces that decide to switch sides and then for the game to stop working altogether, I suggest trying another one.

This game reminds me of the LCD computer games from the 1980s. My Dad had one that played chess and this one is similar except the old one did not have a touch screen. I have played chess on levels 1 through 5 and I beat it most of the time, then I tried level 20 (the highest level) and I lost twice, but I would expect nothing less from the highest level. Of course the higher the level, the longer it takes to move. My games at level 20 took nearly two hours each. Also it has some strange glitches like only moving the king one square instead of castling (it does know how to castle, but it only does it rarely) and the king starts moving randomly in the end game (maybe the computer has simply given up?) And it does not recognize the 50 move draw rule, threefold repetition or lack of material draws. But it is fun competition when I can't get out of the house and have no internet. The game also has checkers and Connect 4, I can win at checkers most of the time but it is lethal at Connect 4, it beats me most of the time. Bottom line, if you are used to online speed chess then this is not for you, but if you are patient and a deep thinker you should enjoy it.

Such a fun game. My Grandson enjoys this game . Great size for taking with you daily.

Super cute

I only know the basics of chess, and I hoped this might help me advance. And it might, but it seems like not a good sign when software as sophisticated as a chess program has bugs in the underlying move engine! Usually it's fine, but I tried playing Library Game 2 (there are 100 stored chess midgames/endgames). I beat it as white and thought I'd try playing black. I was headed for defeat, and then white moved the king and it became a pawn! Then the pawn marched up and became a third queen and I was mated! Look at the photo: no white king! And white wins! How fair is that! I read a review on another site from 2007 that said the program never castles (though the player can) and no mention of cheating so it must be rare. But annoying! UPDATE: It has not cheated since but there are other annoying things. It had only a king left and only one legal move yet it took 10+ seconds to move! One game I was getting sick of it so I forced a repeat of the same moves 3 times: but no stalemate! Overall its play seems sound. UPDATE 2: OK, playing on level 1, it was moving faster than me and by midgame it had used 5 minutes. But now it's in check and has about 5 possible moves, and it's taken over an hour (according to its running time) for just this move. That's very annoying. I'm dropping it from 3 stars to 2. Not recommended.

No me gustó, es tecnología obsoleta.

I like the fact that he product works as it should.

きちんとチェスができる。ボタンが一切無くてタッチパネルで全て完結するのも良い。バックライトが明るくて見やすいが目は疲れない。表示も本体もまずまずの雰囲気です。駒の動きも分かりやすくて良いです。買うまで随分迷ったのですがもっと早く買っておけば良かった。予備機も欲しいが値上がりしてたのでしばらく見送りますがまた買いたいです。
