It feels like the Square Off board came straight from the Harry Potter books.
It is very difficult to be a chess player when none of your friends and acquaintances shares your hobby. You can, of course, play chess on a computer, but this does not compare to the feeling when you spin real pieces in your fingers.
Square Off is a real treat for chess lovers. This is a board on which figures can move without assistance. You make a move, and, after a second, an invisible opponent moves. It looks just amazing.
But while the self-moving figures look fantastic, there is no magic in Square Off. They move with the help of miniature magnets hidden in the board, which is powered by a built-in battery and can carry out up to 30 games without recharging.
A particularly nice feature of Square Off is the automatic chess placement. Just place the figures on the board and they will scatter to their places by themselves.
Square Off can be played against artificial intelligence as well as against other players on the Internet. The board connects to Chess.com, which has 21 million users ranging from beginners to grandmasters. Therefore, you will not have any problems in finding an opponent, given that your opponent does not need to have the same board to play with you.
Artificial Intelligence in Square Off has flexible difficulty setting. At the easy level, the AI is only useful for training beginners, but at the difficult level it can challenge even experienced chess players. With Square Off, you can watch the course of chess games in international tournaments - even in real time. The figures will repeat the actions of the grandmasters. In addition, the board allows you to solve sketches and chess problems.
Square Off is available on Indiegogo for $ 399. Delivery time is 4 weeks.
