No app is needed, you don't even need a smartphone. Instead the wifi-enabled touch-screen board syncs directly to your Chess.com account, allowing you to enjoy a true over-the-board experience.
Once completed, games can then be saved and analyzed as normal on Chess.com. Each piece is touch sensitive and has its own ID chip allowing perfect responsive gameplay.
AI assistance can also be used to give hints and allow players of different skill levels to play each other. Beginners can also learn on the board using the feature where you touch a piece and see all the possible moves. It is perfect for players of all levels.

The ChessUp 2 is made by Bryght Labs, an innovation studio formed by a senior team of electronics designers and engineers. Bryght Labs released the original ChessUp in 2021 and it went on to become the number-one smart chessboard on the market.
This is the most authentic experience yet, merging online play and the ability to find opponents anywhere in the world with having a physical board at your fingertips.
