Key Features
1. Play online on a real chessboard
Connect your iChessOne board and play on popular platforms such as Lichess and Chess.com while keeping the natural feel of physical pieces. The board recognizes individual pieces and their positions in real time, so you can focus on the game instead of the screen.
2. Offline play and training with Stockfish
Play against the built-in Stockfish engine with multiple difficulty levels, or use the full strength of the engine for analysis. You can also play local games 1v1 on the same board, making iChessOne suitable for both training and casual play.
3. Game analysis, history, and PGN export
Review your games, analyze positions, and improve your chess skills over time. Games can be saved, revisited later, and exported in PGN format for further analysis or sharing.
4. Interactive LED support
The iChessOne board uses multicolor LED indicators to highlight moves, show your opponent’s actions, and support gameplay. The app lets you customize LED colors, brightness, and effects to match your preferences.
5. Advanced personalization
Adjust key gameplay and board settings to fit your style. Customize move detection, premoves, LED behavior, and other options to create the experience that works best for you.
6. Board management and firmware updates
Use the app to monitor battery status, manage your board, and install firmware updates that bring improvements and new features over time.
7. Reliable wireless connection
The app communicates with the board via Bluetooth Low Energy, providing stable and efficient wireless connectivity designed for everyday play.
8. More than a companion app
iChessOne is not just a controller for the board - it is the central place where traditional chess meets online play, analysis, training, and regular feature updates.
With iChessOne, you can enjoy the authenticity of a real chessboard together with the flexibility of modern chess software - at home, during training, or while playing online.
