Three difficulty levels, running entirely on the board. No connection needed.
Log in once and play real games against other people on Lichess.
A new puzzle from chess.com every day, with hints if you get stuck.
ChessPAD runs on e-ink — the same screen technology as an e-reader. It looks like paper, doesn't light up a dark room, and holds its charge for a long time between top-ups. It's built to feel like a real chessboard that happens to know the rules, not another screen competing for your attention.
