NEW YORK, Nov. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chessnut, an innovative technology company, today announced the launch of its groundbreaking product, the Chessnut Move electronic chessboard. As the world’s first board to feature fully automated movement for all pieces simultaneously, it redefines interactive chess playing, offering an unprecedented immersive experience for enthusiasts and learners alike.

Unlike traditional robotic chessboards that operate with a single mechanical arm, the Chessnut Move revolutionizes the game with its core technology, allowing every piece to move independently and autonomously. This, combined with an advanced full-board recognition system, transforms the Chessnut Move from a mere board into an intelligent, seamless portal between the digital and physical worlds of chess.

The utility of Chessnut Move extends far beyond simple gameplay, redefining every way we interact with chess:

1. Advanced Training & Deep Learning:

   

   • Uninterrupted Puzzle Rush: Tackle tactical puzzles at full speed. The board automatically sets up each new challenge, saving crucial seconds and allowing you to focus entirely on calculation to beat your high score.

2. Seamless Online Play Experience:

    

   • Online Chess, Tangible & Immersive: When you match with an online opponent thousands of miles away, their moves are physically executed on your board. Witness kingside castling and queen promotions happen right before your eyes, creating a tangible presence that screen-based play cannot replicate.
   • Remote OTB with Friends: Play a game with a friend who also has a Chessnut Move. It feels like you’re at the same table, sharing a genuine over-the-board experience across any distance.
3. Interactive Viewing & Entertainment:
   • Bring the World Championship Home: Watch live broadcasts of major tournaments. Instead of staring at a 2D animation, Chessnut Move acts as your personal commentator, physically replicating every move made by the grandmasters in real time, allowing you to appreciate the battle in the most authentic way.
   • Engage with Chess Streamers: Watch your favorite chess streamer while your board syncs with their game. You can analyze lines on your physical board as the game progresses, transforming passive viewing into active participation.
4. Modern Education & Social Interaction:
   • Revolutionary Teaching Tool: For coaches, remotely assign exercises that automatically setup on the student’s board. During lessons, the moving pieces capture the student’s attention completely. For self-learners, the board syncs with video lessons, dramatically improving retention.
   • A Centerpiece for Social Gatherings: Chessnut Move is not just a training tool but a stunning piece of tech art. Its automated movements create a sense of ceremony and wonder, making it a fantastic centerpiece for family gatherings and social events, sparking conversations and joy.
