Play your way

Your hands are the pieces' hands

Put the controllers down: pinch a piece between thumb and finger, lift it, and set it on a glowing square. With controllers, the trigger or grip picks up. Every legal square lights while you hold a piece.

Four levels of computer

Beginner, Casual, Club and Master. The computer lifts and glides its own pieces across the board, takes back moves with UNDO, and gives you a HINT when you ask.

Online, up to four players

Press PLAY ONLINE on the table panel: two players sit across the room table, two more out on the balcony. Pick up a piece to take that colour's seat. Private rooms with a 4-digit code on the B menu.

Every rule of chess

Castling, en passant, promotion (you choose the piece), check, checkmate, stalemate, and draws by repetition, the fifty-move rule and insufficient material. Your game is saved and waits for you.

The room and the set

A carved Staunton set

Turned boxwood and ebony pieces with felt bases, a knight with a braided mane, and an inlaid maple and walnut board with brass lines and coordinates.

A penthouse at sunset

Floor-to-ceiling glass over a living city, pods and airships drifting past, five skies to choose from, and sliding doors out to the balcony table.

Warm and cozy

A stone fireplace with a real fire, walnut bookcases, leather club chairs, rugs, a pendant light over the board and your own music.

Made to fit you

FIT ME sets the table to your height in one press; LOWER and HIGHER fine-tune it. Play standing or sitting.
