Everything you need to know

Does it really play my Chess.com and Lichess games?

Yes. You link your account in the free GoChess app and your online opponent's move appears as light on the board. You answer by moving a real piece.

How strong is the AI opponent?

There are 32 progressive difficulty levels, so it scales from a first game to well past club strength.

What are the lights actually telling me?

You choose. The app can light up the available moves, suggest the best piece to move, highlight the best move, or raise a blunder alert, in any combination.

Is there a subscription?

No. The companion app is free on iOS and Android.

How big is it?

Standard size, 35 mm squares, 8.7 mm thin. The GoChess Pro is the full tournament-size board if you want the larger one.

Is this the same thing as the GoChess Mini?

Yes. The Mini was renamed GoChess Air. Same board, same model number, and the reviews on the store are its own.

Your games are already on your phone. Put them back on a board.
