FAQ

Which platforms and applications does iChessOne work with?

The core is the iChessOne app, which handles online and offline play against a human opponent or chess engine/bots. It currently supports Lichess (using the official Board API) and Chess.com natively, and additional integrations are under development and will be released in future updates.

Every move you make on the physical board is tracked and synchronized in real time with your online game.

Is iChessOne suitable for beginners or advanced players?

Both. It offers 25 AI levels, LED move guidance, rule enforcement, and error correction, providing beginners with the equivalent of a built-in coach. At the same time, the board is full tournament size and uses classic Staunton wooden pieces that meet FIDE standards. Thus, advanced players can train seriously both over-the-board (OTB) and online.

What exactly is included in the set, what material is the board made of, and how much does it weigh?

The set includes a foldable tournament-size electronic board, 34 wooden Staunton pieces (including two extra queens), a phone stand, USB-C cable, USB-C/USB-A adapter and protective cotton bag. The board is made from European hardwoods (beech, sycamore, and mahogany). Set weight: Approx. 2.6 kg including pieces. Because each set is made from natural wood, weight and dimensions may vary slightly between sets.

For warranty details, see our Shipping & Warranty Policy.

How long does the battery last and how do I charge it? Can I play while charging?

The board has a built-in 2000 mAh battery and delivers up to 12 h of play per charge. It charges via USB-C, and you can play while charging (including from a power bank).
