Chessnut Vision An NPU-based Image Recognition and Control System for Electronic Chessboards. Using a built-in NPU (neural processing unit) to achieve accurate image recognition and simulate human clicks, Chessnut Evo supports prevailing online chess platforms and applications, allowing you to play against opponents from all around the world while experiencing the traditional feel of a physical chessboard.

We have already collaborated with several app developers and we sincerely appreciate their contributions. With the launch of Chessnut Evo, we will continue to uphold our open principles and welcome developers to join us. In addition to developing hardware interfaces using the Chessnut Easylink SDK, services like ChessMind and Chessnut Vision will gradually be opened to developers. In fact, Chessnut Evo already has several third-party apps in development that will soon be available on our marketplace module. We look forward to bringing more excellent apps to chess lovers. In Chessnut Evo, there is a built-in push system where we will regularly send you updates on the most popular chess engines, puzzles, and even trending chess news.

Review: Great Chess Computer - I find the Evo more fun than I was expecting. I highly recommend this board for people wanting an electronic chess computer. Chessnut vision reads a webpage chess board and works very well with Chess.com and ChessKid.com. I use vision for puzzles, lessons, playing bots, etc. Chessnut vision makes this the most versatile electronic board available. It's helpful to get some 3D puzzle recognition practice. Evo works for playing online opponents, but it is best at longer time rapid games where the time to move pieces is less of a penalty. It you are going to play online opponents, you will want to learn how to flip the board on the screen by swiping down and selecting the flip option, since you don't know if you will be black or white before the games starts. When playing online bots with no clock, Evo performs really well. Evo comes with built-in chess engines, so you can play locally against the Evo as well. A wall charger is NOT included. A Power Deliver (PD) charger is recommended to get 18 watts of charging. Without a PD charger, it will charge at 5 watts. I use an Apple 20 watt charger and an extension cord. My initial negative experience was that Evo doesn't recognize sliding pieces, so until I got into the habit of picking up a piece and placing it, it would record the wrong move and cost me games. Chessnut recommends setting a recognition delay of four tenths of a second if you want to slide pieces. Since Evo can't know when you stop touching the piece, it is better to just never slide your pieces. You can slide the opponent's pieces since evo will wait for the piece to get to the right square. The screen is high resolution and looks great. The speaker could be improved, but it works for my usage. I use the speaker to listen to chess lessons and follow along with them on the Evo physical board. It is faster to do lessons purely online, but it is sometimes fun to do a lesson on the physical board. I tried Evo with the beta of Chess.com API and didn't have any issues. Evo comes with two queens per side. If you are ever in a situation where you need three queens, it will not be able to continue the game. You can purchase an additional set of chess men on the Chessnut website. The pieces are nice. The size of the board and pieces are a good compromise considering the additional board size with the screen. Evo comes with additional felt bottoms for the chess men and felt bags to store the chess men. I also purchased the optional carry bag, which is a great way to store the board. The bag has handles for carrying in the vertical or horizontal orientation and shoulder straps for carrying it like a backpack. The bag is a bit expensive for the quality, but it is a great companion to the EVO, so I am happy with the bag purchase as well. Although Evo is sold on desertcart directly from Chessnut, the prices on desertcart will vary from the prices on the Chessnut website. There are times when Evo will be $100 less on the Chessnut website, which is unfortunate since desertcart makes it simple to click a few buttons and order the Evo. I bought the board from desertcart when the price on desertcart matched the price on the Chessnut website.
Review: Well made, easy to use, all in one. No phone or tablet needed. - Excellent all around. Seems to be well made. Very convenient to have the tablet built in. No paring with phone or tablet, just turn it on and it works. This also keeps you phone free to use. Offers wide range of Bots and difficulty levels. Castling and move take backs work well. The lighting on the squares is easy to see. In Youtube videos the board lights are hard to see, in real use they are easy to see.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chessnut Evo breaks the rules
*by A***O on January 8, 2026*

I love my Chessnut Evo, it's different. I have several electronic chessboards, all good and following more or less the same operating principles with some special functions that differentiate them from each other. The Chessnut Evo, on the other hand, operates on a completely different principle; for example, it allows me to instantly convert games I'm watching on YouTube into PGNs. There's nothing like it for studying games directly from a book if you prefer to play OTB (over -the-board). This is just the beginning; they still have a lot to improve, but what they offer is already worth every dollar invested.
