Chessnut Companion AI Chess Clock: Overview
The Chessnut Companion turns a standard chess clock into a full AI-powered match companion. It handles timing, analysis, and coaching from one compact device.
- Motorized Auto-Switch: After your opponent moves, the Companion automatically presses the clock button. This recreates the feel of a real over-the-board game without any manual input.
- Chessnut Grandeur AI Coach: Powered by Stockfish, Lc0, and MAIA, it delivers real-time move feedback, phase-by-phase advice, and a full game summary.
- Smart Voice Control: Built-in mic and speaker let you search past games, identify positions, and interact with the board hands-free via voice commands.
- Self-Contained Game Flow: The 6.86-inch touchscreen and Android 15 system handle setup, timing, move records, and review. You don’t need your phone at the board.
- Wide Compatibility: Works with all Chessnut chessboards except the Chessnut Chess Computer, and supports Lichess, Chess.com, and verified third-party apps.
The Chessnut Companion is a strong pick for chess players who want coaching, timing, and analysis in one device.
