Testimonials
The biggest advantage is portability! Being the first of its kind to be both electronic and portable.
Paul Uebbing
This is the device that is uniquely suited to the needs of OTB chess practice. Having learned chess myself and only played online, my OTB level is lower than my actual ability as it is very difficult to get regular OTB practice, and I have wanted something like this for years.
Branko, 30

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the pieces have built-in batteries ?
No, the pieces do not have batteries, because they don’t need them. The signal is transmitted wirelessly, similarly to contactless payments via credit cards.
How heavy is the whole iChessOne set?
The entire iChessOne set, including the chessboard, 34 pieces, a USB cable, a mobile phone stand and a pen weighs ~2.5 kg. Remember, there may be differences in weight as each set is made of natural wood 🙂
Does the chessboard remember the games played?
Yes! All the games you play are remembered and you can access them from the application level. You can come back to them, analyze, and generate a PGN any time you want.
How is it possible that the chessboard is electronic, but the LEDs are not visible?
You cannot see the LEDs when they are turned OFF, because they are hidden under a thin surface of the wood. For this purpose, we precisely milled the blind holes, which allowed us to maintain an unchanged appearance of a classical wooden chessboard, while ensuring the transmission of LED lights and their visibility also in bright sunlight.
