The board design was developed in Munich, including the unique & modern chess pieces. These are classically elegant and stylish at the same time and combine tradition and modernity. The pieces are weighted at the base with anti-slip underside. The slim, ergonomic shape ensures a good grip and excellent board overview.
Perfect size for always and everywhere
The eONE measures 12.2 x 12.2 inches and has a very flat design with 0.97 inches. The board weighs 932g and is solidly built. It fits in any pocket and is very easy to clean. The king height is 2.17 inches and the square size is 1.18 x 1.18 inches.
Set up, turn on, start playing
The eONE has everything needed to play directly integrated: Bluetooth and USB data transfer, the sensor technology to detect the moves and, of course, a powerful lithium battery that provides energy for at least 18 hours of play. So set up, switch on, start playing, without any cables! eONE is ready to play within seconds. The USB Type C interface is used to charge the battery, install updates, but also to connect the eONE to Windows PCs or MACs. Thus, applications without Bluetooth support can also use the board via USB. When switching on, the battery indicator briefly shows the current capacity of the battery. And if the battery should eventually run out after several years, you can open your board and simply replace the battery.
Play Online
With eONE you can play against millions of other chess players around the world, using the largest chess platforms. Once an opponent has been found and the game has started, you can put your phone or tablet aside and concentrate on the game at the board. It doesn‘t matter whether the opponent is playing via web client, app or also on an eBoard!
