Details:

This s a wood electronic chess board (45mm square size) with wood pieces (3" King).  I have recently purchased a slightly larger eBoard from Certabo and do not two systems, so this is up for sale.

Board is by Certabo and is the Aurora Brown model.  It is a high-quality wood board (Birch, I believe) with high-quality printed dark squares.  The board was purchased new in May 2022 for 499.90 Euros.  Please visit Certabo for reference/info.  Chess pieces and carry bag were purchased in addition to the board.

Aurora Brown (square 45mm 1,77") - Certabo Chess

Chess pieces are Boxwood and Ebony with RFID chips placed under felt (see pictures of underside) for piece recognition.  The Kings are 3" and fit nice on this board.  If you wish to use different pieces, you can do so after purchasing RFID chips from Certabo. 

Connection to board is via USB.  Cable is included as is the carrying case and chess pieces as shown in the image. (Note: Bluetooth module and Raspberry Pi connections/systems are possible if interested and are available from Certabo.  Please see their website for details.).  

Pictures shown include various software and games.  There are many software options available.  Lucus Chess, Arena, Fritz, and Shredder require a driver from Graham O'neill (https://goneill.co.nz/), while Chessconnect (https://chessconnect.de/) is a free Chrome extension to allow easy play online at Chess.com and Lichess  (notice the "Connected" button on the chess.com picture at left side).  CB_EMU is a free download that integrates old ROMs using Arena if you want, for instance, to play against and old RadioShack board from the 80s (the last 2 pictures are an example of that).  Of course, the Certabo PC Program and Online program are available as well for free download. Some Android options include Chess Dojo, Chess for Android, and Chessconnect (with Kiwi browser).  There are options for Apple iOS, Mac, and Unix, but I haven't personally use them.   There is a little learning curve for getting programs setup.  A simple start would be to use Certabo software and possible the Chessconnect extension for online play. 

There are certain chess engines selectable within the Certabo software that allows Chess960 variant play.   Arena also supports the Chess960 variant - an example is included in the pictures.  Please note that not all engines play the variant.

In summary, this is a high-quality, beautiful wood chess board with wood chess pieces for standalone or online play. 

If you have any questions, please let me know.  

Best wishes.
