The board works incredibly! I occasionally have issues with the board when it starts up but a quick recalibration fixes the problem. I had previous issues with the board malfunctioning during a game but those issues have been nonexistent since the latest firmware update was released. I can't wait for the full launch of the lessons and also the integration with chess.com. Once those are available this board will be 1000% worth the money. I play on it constantly with my family and friends, then when they're not available I play a lot online. The board has come a long way and will continue to become better, patience with the updates and bugs will be important. I've had my board for about 9 months now and its come so far in that little time
