  • A Dedicated E-Ink Chessboard For Modern Play

    Take online chess off your phone with an E-Ink board built for playing, not scrolling ♟‍
    Atlas Chess combines the calm of a physical board with the reach of online play, so you can stay immersed without staring at a glowing screen. Its 7.5 inch E-ink display is designed for long, comfortable sessions, with paper-like contrast and move updates in under 300 ms to keep games flowing naturally. Connect to Lichess to face real opponents, friends, bots, or daily puzzles, or play offline against the built-in CT-800 chess engine rated around 2,200 ELO. Explore openings, endgames, and classic games, or replay PGN files and take over from any position. Less screen, more chess. Back Atlas Chess on Kickstarter now.

    About

    Building Atlas, a distraction-free e-paper chess board designed for long, focused play. Combining the calm feel of a real board with modern online connectivity, Atlas reimagines how chess should feel.
