Pros & Cons
Pros
My seven year old grandson absolutely loves this product. The interface is e-ink which means you can even play this in bright sunlight outside.

Competitiveness
My husband and grandson play on my husband's high-end electronic chess board.
The lights and e-ink screen work great.

You can play against a computer ai or against a live opponent.

Both are clearly not written by someone with english as their first language but you can get the gist of what is being said

The pieces are magnetic and we found that you often have to physically pickup the pieces versus just sliding them to the next spot on the board

If you didnt pick it up the board often was confused and wouldnt move onto the next step

After about 45 turns in the board became confused and thought one of my sons black rooks was actually my white rook
