Electronic Magnetic Chess and Checkers Set 10", 8-in-1 Board Games, Digital Staunton Chess Board Game Sets for Adults & Kids, Teenager Toys, Gifts for Boys and Girls Ages 7 8 9 10 11 12+ Years Old

My grandson LOVES to play Chess. He loves being able to play by himself with a good opponent (I'm not very good! 😀)

This Electronic Chess is an excellent way to teach you how to play as well as improve your game. The display is rather small for me to see, but my son has no problem. He says it's fine.The magnetic factor is really nice. Pieces don't get bumped out of place.Checker pieces also come with this set, and are magnetic as well.My son and I are very pleased with this purchase.

Good for a physical chess set. Nicely shaped pieces, clean board, good magnetic grip. Very intuitive menu design. I like the "why" question that you can ask the board - why can't I do that move.only drawback is that you have to play in a well-lit room as the display screen is difficult to read.I'm sure the next step up in quality is much more expensive - as in hundreds of dollars. These aren't being made much anymore as people switch over to computer chests instead. Too complicated. Better to have something like this that you can take on road trip, or a friend's house... small enough and easy enough to pack away and play.

I initially wrote a scathing review of this, but some 24 hours later I find myself erasing it, and replacing it with the following.I have this chess set, I like this chess set, but I don’t LOVE it, and I do feel the descriptions of its talking are adequate. I have only so far after 5-6 hours of solid usage heard it say “ careful,” “are you sure” “check” and “checkmate”. It does beep after it’s done with its thoughts and ready to select a move. So it does talk, but it is in NO way a tutor, at best, it’s a chess set that comes with a decent and tailorable opponent already in the box.Why my initial review WAS so scathing was because of the pieces. The pieces... omg they are a joke. I would have no love for this at all and would have returned it but I already had a set of pieces about the same size with MUCH stronger magnets that actual kept in place when I tilted it, or even shook once or twice very hard to test the strength of my new ones which held great, ergo it’s the pieces not the board. The included pieces were a joke, they were barely magnetic at all, but I had a travel set with stronger magnets from Amazon for 7 bucks that I traded the pieces out for.Having griped enough about the crappy pieces, I will say that I am exceedingly pleased with the experience of playing on the board with a computer. I find the chess engine is perfectly tailored to its settings, normal mode is just like playing a normal person who regularly plays chess, I’d guesstimate it at 1200 on normal, but idk YMMV.

Got this for my 11 year old son, who loves chess. He is enthralled with it.

Alot smaller then expected not worth the money

Very hard to setup and set mode and hard to set the screen very dim.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 8 year old Grandson. My son said that it is really nice and that he is learning about the game by playing it. He is very pleased with it.
