Chessnut EVO Review | Bot match, Chess.com gameplay, Chessable integration + more!

It's giving video reviewing is my passion.

Hi y'all! I was fortunate to receive a prototype of the EVO, a smart electronic chessboard, from ‪@Chessnutech‬ to do a review. As I am not a content creator nor a product reviewer, please bear with the clunkiness of editing and content. If there is something I missed in this review, please feel free to ask and I'll try my best to answer!

TL;DW - I really enjoy this product, but it's not perfect. If you are somebody who is willing to spend the money on a premium product and interested in merging the tactile OTB chess experience with the ease of finding matches online through lichess or chess.com, you will love the EVO. The functionality and responsiveness is great, I've had relatively few issues while playing live games online. In my opinion, the attached screen fundamentally changes the experience from a product like the Air or Pro- it's simply easier and more streamlined to use. On the other hand, if you are considering this product for its marketed ability to act as a smart-AI trainer to improve your chess skills, I think you will find yourself disappointed. While the Chessable integration is FANTASTIC (for me personally this would be a huge factor in buying this), the actual training and AI features of the board itself feel lackluster. I do not think, in its current state with the features it has now, the EVO could act as a standalone "coach" or trainer for somebody looking to improve their chess. I only mention this because Chessnut markets this pretty heavily as a smart-AI training board, but to me I think there are several things they need to add before I would agree.
