Is anyone familiar with electronic chess sets? I’ve been looking on YouTube at two specific companies, Millennium and Chessnutech. I really like the Chessnut line of products, especially the ability to buy sensors, which allows you to have multiple sets to play OTB games. The actual feeling and moving of the pieces is so enjoyable to me, that may sound strange (my wife thinks it is) but I do enjoy it. I must say these sets have come a long way from the only one I purchased some 45 years ago at RadioShack.
Thanks for any helpful thoughts and best wishes on your Chess journey!

Following this thread. I also really like over the board play, but am stuck playing exclusively online since no one I know plays chess (other than online)

Yes Ryan I’m also limited to who I can play, most of my games are played on my iPad at Chess.com and some on Litchess. I really like the Chessnut electronic products with the Bluetooth connections, looks pretty slick. I just need to decide which one.

I have a chessnutech one and have been pretty pleased with it. Can’t speak to Millennium. My favorite sets are from House of Staunton (like the one you see in my background) but those are not electronic.

I bought the Chessnut evo a few months ago and I am very pleased with it. It has Stockfish and Maya on board, but also connects to for example Chess.com. The board indicates with leds where a piece has to go. It has an integrated tablet, so you can play on a screen and the board at the same time.

Thanks guys I appreciate your feedback. Definitely looks like Chessnut is the way I’ll go.
