“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”

“It will disconnect your phone from the board 7 out 10 games, not letting you finish the game and making you lose against the AI and other players in Lichess. It is not integrated with chess.com. When it works, it is beautiful. But that happens once in a blue moon.”

“Fantastic company! Fantastic product! I accidentally purchased a future discounted lot and after not receiving the board for a month or so I called and asked about it. My son was really looking forward to it for this 4th birthday. When I let the customer service person know they shipped one out next day! It arrived on time he was elated.”

“After 7 or 8 months since launching, the bugs on Android aren't fixed. There isn't a game I can finish playing with the board. It works for a little while, and then it stops working. Regardless if I play against the AI, or if I play in Lichess, the outcome is the same. I have to finish the games in Lichess directly and forget the ones with the AI. When it works is beautiful, but unfortunately, it rarely works. BTW, It does not have an integration with Chess.com.”

“Buy the Chessup computer! This is the only computer you will ever want or need. But remember: be patient and allow the time for the Chessup team to fix the bugs and continue updating the chess computer, if you do, I believe you will be well rewarded with what I think will absolutely be the finest chess computer on the market. I previously purchased two competitor models and had to take them back because they were defective. I have found customer service to be extremely helpful when I had questions or couldn't figure something out. Their response time in getting back to me was incredibly fast. I understand it is difficult to wait for issues to be resolved and that updates may not happen quickly enough. I too want it to be perfect right away. But these things take time. Be patient, stay the course, and I truly believe you will soon be in possession of an excellent chess computer!! I love my Chessup!”

“Boars won't sync and will leave you waiting for your opponents move when it is actually your move. GARBAGE. Needs major Android overhaul. Wait a few years before wasting your time and money”

“The board is malfunctioning already. There has been no damage to the board but some of the starting squares don’t recognize when there are pieces on them so the game isn’t able to start. Can we get a refund or at least a new board?”

“I've been trying to self-improve my chess skills for years, but hit a ceiling about 10 years ago. I have seen a huge leap forward in just a few days of playing with Chess-Up. Moves I never imagined are suddenly beautifully displayed on the Board. I have also find the support to be superb. On my first telephone call for assistance, I was generously given a more than 30 minute introduction by Jeff to the nuances of the program. Bravo Chess-Up!”

“Loved the chess board! Everything was high quality and functional. My only gripe was having to wait for the Android app. Played alot of games, no issues yet. Still testing the app. Overall, one of the best computer chess sets I've ever played.”

“This chess set has good quality physical elements and great potential. However, the software implementation still has a way to go. The app is not very well designed and there are issues interfacing with Lichess. The on board AI is also faulty and often prefers stalemate over checkmate in 1. I hope the software will catch up soon and allow the board to reach its potential. I'm also looking forward to using the board with other apps such as white pawn.”

“The chess up board was easy to set up and has been working flawlessly. I'm hoping to routinely demolish my 10-year-old grandson. With all the practice I'm getting, I suspect I will be unbeatable shortly.”

“This board is literally a "Game Changer." The clever feedback it provides for potential moves, and the intuitive answers it provides make the game of Chess appeal to virtually everyone, regardless of their level of experience. I've given away TWO to College student Son, and British Grandson, and they are playing every single day. I have not tried the "remote game" capability yet, but what I've seen so far has impressed me so much I've bought a third set for myself!”

“Hello to the team, If we consider the current state of the product (chess board program, applications on SmartPhone), there is still a lot to do for 1-the expected features and 2- the bugs to be fixed So —-> 3/5. If we consider the development potential and future evolutions So —> 6/5 and at this time, Chess Up will become the essential electronic chess game.”

“This board works, but is not currently working at the level Bryght Labs has sold it as. I do think that with time it can be done but it is not currently there for all platforms. Waiting for Android support for all online chess platforms, chess learning courses, and checkers game support,”

“The board is great! It is responsive, easy to set up and intuitive to use. The pieces are of high quality, and I like the fact an extra queen is provided. The board senses moves impeccably and stand-alone, enough variety is offered with the onboard difficulty levels. The app (I have the iOS version), although showing great potential and already improving quite a bit since my time of ownership (autumn 2022) did crash on me a couple of times. The lichess integration seems to work fine, chess.com integration would make it 5 stars. I hope the company persists its rhythm of pushing out updates and improving functionality”

“Overall I love my ChessUp board. I would like to give it 5 stars, but the functionality of the Android app is lacking and somewhat buggy. Bryght Labs needs to focus on the apps now that the product has launched and supply chains are improving.”

“The Chessup product I purchased from Bryght Labs has a great idea to learn to play chess. My only problem is trying to understand exactly how the board works. Since there is no instruction manual, I have tried to learn what I could from he internet. Unfortunately, I could not find out how the the lights on the board work. Hopefully, I will be able to figure it out.”
