By maker
Good to know.
-
DGT
Pegasus connects over Bluetooth LE to every platform. The USB e-Boards, the Smart Board and the Bluetooth e-Board connect to Android. A DGT3000 clock on the board shows the opponent's move and both times, and its lever confirms moves.
-
Chessnut
Air, Pro, Go and Move connect over Bluetooth LE. Move plays the other side's moves by itself and shows moves with its RGB lights. The Chessnut Companion clock runs the Android app directly.
-
Millennium
eONE, Exclusive, Performance and Supreme Tournament 55 connect over Bluetooth LE through ChessLink. Known limit: on the eONE, the opponent's move is not yet shown on the board's lights.
-
Certabo and Tabutronic
USB boards on Android. Certabo boards need a one-time piece mapping in the board settings, then pieces are recognized in every game.
-
Square Off, iChess, Bryght Labs, Blichess
Square Off Pro, iChess One, ChessUp and boards running the Blichess firmware connect over Bluetooth LE. ChessUp lets you choose the promotion piece on the board itself.
