Chessnut

Chessnut is a company that makes electronic smart chess boards designed to bridge the gap between online and over-the-board play. Their boards feature automatic piece recognition, LED move indicators, and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing players to compete on Lichess, Chess.com, and other platforms using a physical board and real pieces.

The product line ranges from the entry-level Chessnut Air, an affordable e-board with full piece recognition, to the premium Chessnut Pro and Chessnut Evo, which offer tournament-sized boards with high-quality wood construction and advanced features. All boards connect to the Chessnut app for game recording, analysis, and online play.

Chessnut has become one of the most popular smart chess board brands, competing with established names like DGT and Square Off. Their boards are frequently recommended by chess content creators and reviewers for offering the best balance of features, build quality, and price in the electronic chess board market.
