The new ChessGenius Pro with its color display offers fun for all players - while being easy and intuitive to use. The PLAY button easily starts new games: with white, with black, in 2-player mode or from a specific position. The powerful processor delivers lightning-fast response times at all game levels. The design has been completely modernized compared to the previous model: super slim, modern and with stylish pieces that fit well in the hand.
Chess Features
You can set an almost unlimited number of difficulty levels. Tournament levels are available for particularly strong players, which challenge even very good club players with up to 2,200 ELO. The easy game levels have been further optimized so that even absolute chess beginners can win. Up to 12 games can be stored and reloaded in the device. Alternative computer moves, different playing styles and 3 options for the opening books round off the chess experience.
For maximum freedom, a level with freely adjustable times, number of moves and increment is available.
AI functions for real chess fun
The chess computer can abandon games or offer draws. The optionally switchable chess trainer warns of bad moves, offers their retraction and makes improvement suggestions for better moves. The help button shows possible moves in the game - either for all pieces or only for the selected piece. Even the names of the openings played are shown on the display if desired.
Comfort
The ChessGenius Pro is equipped with the latest version of MILLENNIUM HighSensity pressure sensor technology. The extra smooth and extra large chess board of 20 x 20 cm ensures maximum playing fun! The high-contrast color display with the modern user interface is inspired by smartphones and allows quick access to all functions. With 14 languages for all menu and help texts, there is the right language for everyone!
All menu items are provided with help texts in the selected language. You don't know what a certain setting does? One press of the ? button and you know - without the need for an instruction manual!
Power saving: The device works with batteries, NiMH rechargeable batteries or the optional M811 power supply. The device detects periods of non-use and then automatically switches to power saving mode.
On the road
The magnetic pieces allow the game even on the go. They are easily and safely stored in the included cotton piece bag.
The main switch on the back of the device allows you to completely disconnect the power supply. So you can simply take your ChessGenius Pro with you and play wherever you happen to be spending your free hours.
