Electronic Chess Computers

How do I choose the right chess computer?

With a little guidance you can choose the perfect chess computer for yourself or a family member. Think about the skill level. Is it for beginner/intermediate/expert player?  Consider the function. Is it for a beginner to learn, youth or adult, improve and practice, or a casual game now and then? connect to PC to play against software? entertainment of moving it's own pieces?

How does a chess computer work?

While you play just as if you were playing a friend, you will press lightly on the squares as you move the pieces. The computer senses this, "thinks" on it's turn and tells you it's move.

The Citrine shown in this video senses the moves automatically.



Can I play a friend with my chess computer?

Yes, most computers have player vs. player mode, so that the computer asks as a referee and ensures you play legal moves.

Review of the Novag Citrine's features



My Saitek Explorer is amazing!
Rajesh S.

The product has many wonderful features. Very well thought of!I am beginner - probably 1400-1600 ELO range. So I need something that I can "grow" with and this product is just so suited.You can see that a lot of artificial intelligence has gone into building this.I love the way it is designed and is robust. I live in India and ordered this through my family and wanted something that will be robust.Its a 5 star product[...]. I will recommend ChessHouse for anyone looking for chess products.
