Awesome learning tool
Used to play a lot of chess but got rusty over the years. Getting back into it with this unit has been a joy. Practicing against the computer opponent is a great way to refresh and learn strategy. It's cool that it tells you when to pay extra attention to your next move or if you've just made a potentially poor move (if you're me, that's often 😂). Physically, the board is very capable of holding the pieces magnetically; you can even flip it upside-down and the pieces remain on board! All said, this unit is a fantastic value for the price

good learning tool
It doesn't have many options like advanced ones (like save/load, analyze etc.) but it has exercises and 'Karpov chess school' booklet. Beginner like me this booklet itself worth the money. It is rated as 1750, and I don't think I can reach the ELO in a few years.
Also, great customer service. Initially I had an issue with the LCD screen, but Paul Adams resolved the issue.

Board freezes up and needs to be reset quite often
We have had the set for about 10 days and have experienced the board freezing up about every other day. It also gets close to the end of a game and gives unexplained error messages the board and chessmen are very nice otherwise
