MILLENNIUM eONE – Electronic chessboard for online play on Lichess, chess.com and Tornelo. With 81 LEDs for move display. Integrated lithium-ion battery and Bluetooth/USB.

The product is quite well done and feels very premium. Playing with it is enjoyable. As it is a compact model, feels slighlty cramped, but it is ok. It is not compact enough to use it on the go and the pieces are not magnetic, so it is really a board to use at home without using a big space. It is too big to carry it on a carry on luggage. I had significant conectivity issues. The default system is the chesslink app, which uses lichess to play online, but the bluetooth conexion worked well the first day and then stopped altogether. It worked very well in chess.com, so it was not a hardware issue, but rather a problem with the app. The support team is very quick in answering, but the information felt too complex for a device that should connect seemlessly to an adeoid device. I returned the item as I found it too frustrating for such an expensive item.

Learning to play Chess so my brain function returns to normal and this looked like a great way to do it. Item was charged for 4 hours as required, then powered up, tried to connect to the app and none of the buttons worked. Reset it. Reset it again. Did the cocktail stick total reset. Still did not work. Returned. Shame because I liked the size of it, and the claimed functionality, but something went wrong with this one. Amazon offered a replacement, but I didn’t want to risk it being a bad batch so took the refund. Surprised, as others told me Millenium was a good brand.

The board feels well made and the prices are good. Unfortunately the auto detection is so so, had to keep resetting the board and sometimes it doesn't register some of the moves. It can be very frustrating when playing online. Sticking with my press sensory board for now...

I don’t play chess but my son is very happy with this board. He can play alone, against the computer or go online and play with other chess enthusiasts. Good product for the price

Appena arrivata e scartata ho avuto una buona impressione. Nella confezione non c'è il cellophane, per questo ho pensato che fosse stata aperta, ma evidentemente non è così: è venduta in una bella scatola, ma senza cellophane. Provata via bluetooth con il cellulare, nessun problema. Ho avuto, invece, problemi con il collegamento al PC, perché le diverse guide online e il libretto di istruzioni sono poco chiari. Insomma, dopo due giorni di smanettamento, sono riuscito a collegarla al PC, sia via bluetooth sia con il cavo USB. Giocare contro Hiarcs su questa scacchiera è veramente bello, per non parlare delle partite online contro avversari reali. Online conviene fare partite di almeno 10 minuti, perché il tempo scorre velocemente senza accorgersene. Il riconoscimento dei pezzi e delle mosse è molto preciso: USB è pressoché istantaneo, bluetooth c'è pochissima latenza, quasi impercettibile. Basta poggiare il pezzo e viene subito riconosciuto, non occorre fare pressione sulla casella. C'è il tasto di accensione/spegnimento, il tasto per cambiare lato, il tasto per l'illuminazione dei led, il tasto di accensione/spegnimento bluetooth. Sulla sinistra in basso c'è l'entrata dell'USB, un po' scomoda. La misura è ottima, né piccola né grande. Veramente una bellissima scacchiera interattiva che costa il giusto. Con poco più di 200 euro finalmente ci si stacca dallo schermo e si gioca muovendo i pezzi. Consigliata! Complimenti ai produttori. Avevo già la scacchiera Chess Genius, che però funziona solo offline. Se fossi ricco comprerei tutte le scacchiere elettroniche della Millennium, adoro tutti i loro prodotti! Ciao ciao, buone partite a scacchi. :-)

After some research, I decided this was the best buy affordable chess computer - And so far I’m happy. The board arrived one day early and the packaging was undamaged. There were some cosmetic defects, but the seller resolved the issue. Technically, it took a bit of figuring out, but currently I can play in the following ways: - Against Lichess bots and people using my iPad or iPhone (via Bluetooth) - Against Hiarcs bots using my iPad (via Bluetooth and €9.99 Hiarcs app) - Against chess.com bots and people via Chessconnect Chrome plugin (via Bluetooth or USB connected to my Mac) The board is really responsive, but also sensitive sometimes. It’s important to pick up and place the pieces carefully. Sometimes I’ve needed to take a move back and then it recognises it from there. I’ll have to practice some more before I’m willing to do rapid games - because of course it takes me extra time to also move the opponents pieces and I don’t want to lose even more time fixing possible board errors. That’ll probably take some practice to be able to move everything quickly and carefully at the same time. All in all it’s a great board to experience the OTB feel, connecting it to my favourite chess apps and still playing online, and to keep improving like this.

Tuve un DGT, del cual me deshice porque era del tamaño de competición y por ende demasiado grande para el día a día. Este tiene un tamaño perfecto, ni demasiado grande ni demasiado pequeño como mi viejo Kasparov Turbo Advanced Trainer de Saitek. Conecta con Chess.com sin necesidad de app extra y con Lichess a través de la app propia de Millenium, a la que hay que darle los permisos de la cuenta. Asimismo funciona con Chess for android para jugar directamente con el motor sin necesidad de wifi por lo que viene de perlas para cualquier cometido. En resumen, los DGT son fabulosos, pero caros y aparatosos. Este es el modelo que buscaba; portátil y a un precio genial.

... und doch ein richtig gutes Gerät. Das Schachbrett hat keine Turniergrösse. Das könnte vielleicht stören. Aber es ist handlich und nicht zu klein. Die Figuren sind auch gross genug und eine zweite Dame liegt jeweils bei. Man spielt zumeist über die App Lichess und kann dann gegen Computer und menschliche Gegner wählen. Macht beides sehr viel Spaß. Die Spielstärke ist beim Gegner Computer auswählbar, so dass dieser auch Fehler macht. Menschliche Gegner machen ja auch Fehler. Nobody ist perfekt. Es wird die App geöffnet und in Lichess eingelogt. Das eBord wird erkannt und los geht das Spiel über das eBoard; Handy beiseite gelegt. Alle Züge - auch des Gegners - werden über das Brett wunderbar angezeigt. Das macht Freude und viel Spaß und wenn man gewinnt noch mehr. So macht Schach Spaß. Ausserdem kann man auch über die App mit Schachaufgaben trainieren.

The eONE connects every time with Lichess, and the battery lasts forever. The pieces are plastic, but feel surprisingly high quality. I've never had a problem with sending and receiving moves.
