Open Box Deal Items: These are deals on imperfect or one-of-a-kind items that may be new, but not regular stock.

Defects may at times be hardly noticeable and at other times quite obvious. Effort is made to portray products accurately.

Original description: 

Chess Genius Exclusive is currently the most luxurious and affordable hands-on electronic board game - perfect for solo chess play. Made from real wood with automatic chess piece recognition.

  • Concentrate purely on your game! Unique automatic chess piece recognition with lightning-fast RFID technology ensures a full natural playing experience.
  • The chess computer always knows which pieces is where. If a piece falls over, the square flashes. Switching your view between display and board is no longer necessary.
  • Playing strengths are nearly unlimited from beginner play to advanced tournament levels for skilled players. Exclusive is the ideal learning and training partner.
  • Built in opening moves libraries help you learn and practice opening moves from popular to gambit or unusual variations.
  • Modular design brings many years of pleasure playing chess. Connect add-ons like ChessLink to play against other players all over the world or against engines on mobile devices.

Exclusive is engineered in Germany following many years of careful listening and discussion with avid players and computer enthusiasts. These people helped architect the ultimate hands-on chess game for the home.

For example, it was found that the most comfortable size chessboard (smaller than tournament and larger than portable sizes) would measure just under 16" (40cm) square. And it would be beautiful. The handmade, elegant wooden sensor-board is exactly that - attractive to display.

During game play, the eye must be able to stay on the board and not depend on glancing to the side. For this reasons, 81 LEDs clearly illuminate moves as you play them and as the computer beckons you to respond with its move.

The ideal chess computer doesn't require you to press down on the squares. That's why built-in, fully-automatic piece detection is achieved with new rapid-sensing technology.

The computer unit is located in a separate cabinet with a generously sized display. It offers numerous display options similar to the earlier world-class computers from Mephisto, and of course chess timing during a match.

The cable connection between the clock and board makes it possible to exchange the hardware module and make future software updates via USB.

It's powered by an ARM Cortex M7 processor with 300 MHz and a significantly increased Flash and RAM-memory serves as motor for the hardware.

Estimated tournament strength of the ChessGenius Exclusive range between 2350 and 2400 ELO which even surpasses the performance level of the legendary Mephisto world champion computers.

Thanks to this a new era of development in Munich, Germany, the Exclusive is being enjoyed by chess computer enthusiasts all over the world.

Millennium's ChessLink, further expands this Exclusive with connectivity to online play and mobile devices.

I like it

If you are waffling though about this and the 55 tournament full size, get the larger board. This board is fine size wise but I should have got the larger board. Otherwise this thing is awesome. The piece recognition is worth it alone. It’s just fun to use.

Best chess computer!

I am definitely not the best chess player on the planet or the most qualified to call this the best chess computer. I own 2 sets of DGT smart board and DGT pi chess computer... The DGT is definitely bigger and more official feeling but the chess genius has lights and the interface is super easy to follow. I know it looks like a cheap game controller but I can’t even beat this thing on easy... It is very well made and very fast, actually it is so fast that they suggest to pick up pieces and set them down instead of sliding. The chess pieces are small but satisfying and the chess board will fit in my Large locker at work unlike a DGT board or Square Off chess board... I highly suggest this board! And more importantly Chess House! Give these guys a chance first!
