Millennium ChessLink

Works well to play others online.

The king

My new favorite way to study! I love that I can now play blitz against HIARCS using a real board and pieces. Great for Mac users!

It is a good accessory. I am just a chess amateur. I use it to join Millennium, the King Performance, with my android phone. Before I play chess in android phone, it is not convenient like playing with a real chess board.

Wanted to play Chess online with my computer board and Chesslink did it and Chesshouse staff helped me understand how to hook it up

Great for online connectivity

It's working really well. Wish it was built into the board but I understand why they didn't.

Was easy to setup and connect. Works great with lichess.com

A good product. The communication between board and cellphones is very fast.
The one thing to add : As you take a board piece ( mean move FROM) to show on your cellphone all Coach Advices. It should be easy to implement

The ChessLink is very efficient and easy to use. My only criticism is that the device is big and cumbersome. I have seen much much small Bluetooth devices. Also why can’t Millennium incorporate the Bluetooth into the board like many other boards e.g. Chessnut and Squareoff. I would have paid more for my Millennium Supreme Tournament if Bluetooth is incorporated into the board. Now I have this cumbersome big Bluetooth device sitting beside my board. What a pain.

In order to hook up to Chess For Androids it is necessary to install
Google Play store on a tablet. That in and of itself is an adventure.
But after installation the item worked very well.

Works well with lichess. Very accurate.

Works well using the "Chess for Android" app with the FICS server (board is recognized!), but I have not been able to access LiChess.org using my Millennium Chess Genius board. Site is accessible, but the board is not recognized. This seems to be the case with any chess site where Windows and PC/Laptop is involved. I have followed the ChessHouse and Millennium manuals and recommendations (including YouTube demos) with no luck when it comes to any particular chess site using Windows PC/Laptop.

so straightforward to setup and allows me to use board with other chess engines either thru phone or PC. Great expandability! Order came in quickly thru USPS, ordered Friday and came in Monday!

Adds another dimension to the board. Excellent . I wish it could communicate with chess.com

Fits under the chessboard. And stores the chess pieces along with Dlink and battery.

Even though the manual is included, I watched a YouTube video to learn how to install it and use it. Awesome device, no connection issues so far, nor to start a game nor during playing. I was surprised because it's very light. Totally recommendable, I feel real a Lichess game. I tested the Chess for Android and it is working as well.

I ordered this product about a week after I ordered, the Millenium Chess Computer, the king element, and the chess volt. I had a simple question about chesslink as it arrived without cables. Took 3 days for anyone to respond. Now I blew out about 1k on this site, when they finally responded, no apologies oh no they are busy, can’t waste anytime on that. Now here’s the worst part , my original large order is stuck in a fedex facility, perhaps lost. I asked Chess House about my possibly lost large order since i had finally grabbed their attention. I was told they would investigate 2 days ago. Two days pass with no updates and they are off on the weekend. Their hours are 10am-4Pm. mon-fri. What could they be busy with that its ok to ignore clients with large purchases? I hate to say this but I prefer to sponsor/support smaller shops like this one over Amazon but they won’t let me. They have yet to understand that support is their most important product.

This is very easy to set up. I was up an running in a couple minutes with Hiracs on h my iPad. Highly recommended.

Product arrived two days earlier. Set up was easy.
However I have been looking for a compatible chess link app that works with chesslink accessory.
Google has it but it cannot download to apple iPhone or iPad. Sucks how customers get caught in the middle. Waiting for a work around.

I'm very pleased with the Chess Link unit. I'm using it with Chess for Android. Nice study setup without having to use the PC.

Like having a DGT board attached to the iPad, except with lights to indicate computer moves. Excellent accessory - very highly recommend.

I really liked my ChessLink accessory. I just bought last week. I linked it via bluetooth to my smart phone for an android app. I am looking forward to exploit this accessory.

Love this accessory! Allows you to play on a real chess board (MCGE) against any UCI chess engine via the Hiarcs Chess Explorer software. Simple to connect and use. Many UCI chess engines (e.g. Hiarcs, Shredder, Cheese, MadChess, Tornado, Stockfish) can be "dumbed down", by lowering the strength setting , so that even chess novices have a chance to win. Also, most chess engines are very strong at the highest strength setting, have relatively large opening books, and get updated with new versions periodically, so you will never outgrow them like you can with stand-alone chess computers. And, of course, it's really nice not to have to look at your PC screen to see the moves of your opponents!

I bought a ChessLink with my new Millennium The King Performance. It worked perfectly the first time. I linked it via Bluetooth to my phone running the Chess for Android app, whereupon I can play against that app while interacting only with the actual King board. I was also able to use it to link the King board to a PC running HIARCS chess explorer, via USB, and use the board to play against an engine running on the PC. Great product!

I really like the potential of Chess Link. I have paired it with HIARCS on my iPad Pro, iPad Mini and iPhone XS. HIARCS gives Deep Junior on my MacBook Air a run for the money. It also plays sharp against Mac Shredder and Deep Shredder. I am looking forward for Chess Link being integrated with other Mac programs (Shredder, SmallFish, Chess Tiger, Chess Genius). Would also like to see Chess Link hook up with programs on my MacBook Air.

Since this is a Christmas gift from my wife have not had many chances to use it. But it seems to be everything you said. Looking forward to using it with Hiarcs on iPad and my Mac.

I've enjoyed my Millennium CGX for the last few months. (see my review) I just received the C-link which allows me to connect to my iPad and play Hiarcs using this board. It works great!

It is super easy to connect. Hiarcs recognized it immediately and prompted for the connection, without my having to search through menus to find the enabling command.

Another nice surprise: I had been playing a game with Hiarcs previously on my iPad. My MCGX recognized the game in progress and started flashing the squares for me to rearrange the pieces so I could continue playing the game using the board. It could not have been easier.

The Millennium Lang program that comes with the CGX uses a very intuitive menu system. Hiarcs does also. Of course, Hiarcs is already very well respected for it's enormous playing strength, human-like play, and it's ability to play at lower skill settings in a realistic way. All this, in a very easy to navigate format. Now, by adding the C-Link, I have all these advantages while playing on a handsome board. It's a great combination!

I highly recommend the Millennium ChessGenius Exclusive and the C-Link with Hiarcs on the iPad. I'm looking forward to see what PC based programs start offering Millennium compatibility too.
