Supreme Tournament 55 Millennium Electronic Chess Set

Nice looking board with even nicer looking pieces. I ordered and received a return item thereby receiving a discount. I connected the Supreme Tournament 55 board to my Phoenix, see photo which shows a game about to start where I will play the Tasc R-30, V2.2. I then moved it away from the Exclusive board, which is connected to the King Element and the Genius modules. This setup seems to be working out quite well. The transaction with Chess House to purchase this item ran smoothly and I am satisfied with how things went.

First, I am not an avid chess player, nor a beginner. I have no one who is interested to play chess with. If you’re in this category my review will include you. This board (Tournament 55) is a nice size, not small but not too large. Beautiful craftsmanship! Exceptional operation, Lights adjustable, and a beginner can plug it in and begin play! Don’t worry about price it will be worth it!

The difference between the playing experience on the M826 as opposed to playing on an online chessboard app is surprising, but the difference between playing on the M850 as opposed to playing on the M826 is even more surprising!

Like other reviewers have already said this is an amazing board. My Over The Board game has really improved since playing on this board instead of on my phone. I usually play mostly on LiChess as I really like the ChessLink App on my iPad. It works amazing to setup and study positions and play out position using the HIARCS app for iPad. I have come up with a solution to rotating the board when we don't know what color LiChess or others will be assigning us. This might not be an issue for those of you can can quickly just sit on the opposite side of the desk. For me my desk faces a wall. I have organized the ChessLink module and cables clipped to the wall and I have my chessboard sit on a 1/4 inch plexi-glass from Home Depot (see image attached). I did not want to put any pressure or damage the padded mini legs on the board..instead I rotate the whole thing in under 2 seconds the plexi-glass rotates really smooth. The cable is never an issue bc it rotates nicely since I have it clamped on top....if the colors reverse I rotate in the same direction I came from and cable entanglement is never and issue and always rests on it's on out of the way. If you are on the fence, buy this board. It's a pleasure to play on if you per to play online (I hate playing a computer)

I highly recommend to buy it amazing chessboard please ask for Paul Adams

It's a beautiful board with great looking wooden pieces. It works great with Lichess via Chesslink and can be used with LucasChess to practice against engines as well. Only downside is that I have an iOS device so I can't play using chess.com for now. Not enough to ding stars from the review because I prefer Lichess anyways.

It seems to be a little buggy with the HIARCS iPad app, but I don't think that's any fault of the board manf.

Note: If you want to use this board to play online, you DO have to purchase a ChessLink separately.

The T55 is a fantastic tournament sized board & pieces. The board goes great with the Chess Classics Element, which has a very versatile set of options that permit you to adjust the playing style and strength to keep constantly challenged. The chess pieces that are part of the T55 set are well finished & a perfect size for this board - plus in my opinion they have a nice weight, too. And the icing on the cake is the full piece recognition! Once you play with this type of board you don’t want to go back. Highly recommend this set if you are looking for a tournament sized board. 🙂

Last , but not least: I cannot speak highly enough about the absolutely TOP NOTCH customer service that was provided by Chess House. My initial T55 board had a small cosmetic manufacturing defect in the finish, so I contacted them to discuss. I was treated in a professional and courteous manner, and they quickly shipped out a replacement; also enclosed a prepaid FedEx label so I could easily return the 1st board. The entire experience with Chess House was something all too rare in todays times - they treat you right and I’d strongly recommend making your next purchase from them. 👍🏻👍🏻

This board is amazing!

They are so nice!!! Chess house exchanged me the set I wanted. Very friendly and amazing. Will be buying from them again in the future!!!

I'm thoroughly pleased and impressed with the Supreme Tournament 55 Electronic Chess Set and the M827.
A beautiful design and compliments my study very well.

I still didn’t get the order so please wait few days

The wooden chess pieces are big & heavy and they have extreme detail especially the knights! The Millennium Element with "The King" has Grand Master strength and is rated 2594 by the Wiki-Elo-Liste Schachcomputer Website. I don't need to go online and play when I have this "bad boy" kicking my butt every day. The board itself is very big and beautiful.! The addition of the off-on switch is nice also. Thank You Chess House for the very quick and reliable service!

Highly Recommended.!!!

Wow what a beautiful chessboard, the quality is amazing. I love the led lighting and the ease to play on LiChess or against hundreds of engines via Arena on my PC. The only problem I’ve experienced was getting it out of the box, the sleeve fits tight..lol

Incredible service, delivery 2 days before promised, good quality and workmanship. Paired with the Millennium Chess Master this board has become a daily companion, opponent, and tutor. I love it!

In starting to play over the board in tournaments (OTB) I'd been finding it hard to see the board as well as online. Also, I'd find myself being anxious and having unfocused thoughts in longer OTB games. This is a great board to get more comfortable with OTB!

The customer service as Chess House has been unmatched. They fielded many emails and chats to help me narrow down my purchase.

That the board recognizes which piece is which is a joy for quickly setting up and trying positions I've had problems with in games.

I highly recommend this board with a chess link if you have the budget.

I just got the board set delivered. There is a defective piece which can not be recognized by the e-board. I tried to contact the customer service since two days ago, via chat, email and call, but no one respond at all.

This board works great and looks great. The black prices were not finished very well. For the money, the pieces should be better finished. I also think the pieces should be a little heavier. The pieces for dgt boards are better weighted and finished. Overall great board though.
Works perfect on lichess.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing Board & Computer. Much better seeing a real board versus a computer screen. Quality packaging (like Apple products) and easy setup. Flawless so far.

Great board, great connection, and great playing.
Shipping is excellent, and the enjoying of playing on a real board against online people it feels like heaven.
Thank you chesshouse!

Put everything on the board, plugged it in, bluetooth recognized and connected with millenium app and or chess for Android, started playing right away. No problems. board and pieces look great. Really happy. Shipped quickly. Good communication from Chess house. Recommend watching some youtube videos to show you the apps to download and how to. It is not difficult and there aren't many steps.

Has taken me awhile to write this review as the first Supreme55 board had to be sent back to Chesshouse due to the LED lights dropping out at various stages during a game. Chesshouse promptly sent a replacement board which works beautifully with no glitches of any kind. I mostly use with the chess classics element module and at times with Hiarcs for both IOS and Windows.

The wooden pieces are nicely weighted and the board itself is very classy looking. If I had any small complaint it would be that the knights seem just a bit too bulky but they are still very nice looking as are all the rest of the pieces (especially the bishops). Overall I would highly recommend this board as a chess companion.

I look forward to continuing to play many games with this board and want to thank Chesshouse for all their support.

I bought the set for solo play against the AI and thus far it looks very promising. My only complaint, really, is with Millennium's less than clear or well organized online manuals. There are no less than four for various aspects of the Chess Classic/King Element feature. A lot of info is duplicated but each one tosses in some unique content. A good editor would have found a way to consolidate everything into a single, easier to follow document.

This is a super nice, larger e-board from Millennium. I was completely happy with the original Exclusive board, but this one takes the experience to the next level. The fit & finish are very good, and the pieces just glide over the glassy surface.

Like the reviewer below, I found the wood grain to be excellent and the pieces are perfectly weighted. The knights do seem a bit larger in proportion.

And, like another reviewer, the outer sleeve was stuck to the box and I ended up having to rip it off. Boo hoo.

Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the purchase. Together with the King Element module, I’ve run out of superlatives to give the complete set.

I have had many chess computers since the early 1980's. I have been using mostly the Millennium Exclusive board with the original Genius module, or with Hiarcs on my iPad. I just upgraded the board to the tournament size Supreme 55. I am so glad I did!

The board beautiful. It is a warm wood veneer over plywood. The fit and finish is very good and the grain pattern is excellent. The pieces are nicely weighted; not quite as heavy as some non-computer sets, but as heavy as any computer sets I have used. I am not too crazy about the over-all proportions of the pieces to each other. The knights are too big and the rooks a bit too small. It is in line with many sets today that have the same disproportionate pieces. It stopped bothering me after a few games though, because it is such a pleasure to use this fine quality set and board. The design is good, and the pieces are well made.

I highly recommend this board. I also suggest having the chess link. That allows you to connect via blue tooth to a whole world of additional possibilities.
