Millennium ChessClassics Exclusive Chess Computer


Description

The Millennium ChessClassics Exclusive is a premium electronic chess computer designed for serious players and collectors alike. At its core is the MILLENNIUM Exclusive sensor board - a handcrafted wooden board featuring fully automatic piece recognition and 81 individual field lights that illuminate each square, so you never need to glance away from the board during play. Paired with the elegant Chess Classics Element control module, also crafted from real wood, this system brings together two of the most legendary chess engines ever created: "The King" by Johan de Koning and "ChessGenius" by Richard Lang.

For the first time, both iconic programs are combined in a single device, allowing effortless switching via the start menu and shared memory slots for saving and analyzing games. Whether you're a casual enthusiast looking to improve or an advanced player seeking a 2500 ELO grandmaster-level challenge, the ChessClassics Exclusive delivers an unmatched playing experience. The collector's packaging with a two-colour foil stamp makes this an extraordinary gift for any chess lover.

FAQ

Do I need to manually enter moves into the computer?

Simply place or move the piece on the board and the system registers it instantly, keeping the experience completely natural and immersive.

Can I switch between "The King" and "ChessGenius" during a game?

Yes, switching between the two engines is done easily via the start menu - no unplugging or hardware changes required. Even better, both engines share 9 game memory slots, so you can play a game with one engine and then switch to the other to analyze your moves.

What skill levels does this chess computer support?

What is Chess960 and does this computer support it?

Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess, is a chess variant invented by Bobby Fischer where the starting positions of the pieces are randomized across 960 possible configurations.
