Playing Aggressively on the ChessUp 2

Learn more about the ChessUp2 Kickstarter campaign: bit.ly/ChessUp...
You may have seen the video on my main channel where I played the Alien Gambit on a prototype of the new ChessUp 2 Smart Chess Board.
In this video, I play a super aggressive game against an online opponent.
You can pre-order the new board and optional accessories through May 14 by backing the ChessUp 2 Kickstarter Campaign. Cost for the board is $199 ($100 off the retail price).

But can it play duck chess?

[@pannenkoeksus]

Good question

[@George_Bland]

It needs a dlc

[@Privacysavingname]

And it would need a duck piece

[@EuropaBCA]

They are going to work on additional game modes post-launch, and for Duck Chess, you could use one of the extra Queens provided. But I hope they make a specialized Duck piece as an early 2025 (late 2024) add-on.

[@nachogamer4212]

5:41 e5 is a tempting move. Yeah e5 looks good here

[@tylerpartin3676]

My wife is getting me the chess up board for Father’s Day and I’m stoked. Just started playing chess a few months ago and I’m excited to see what this board teaches me

[@Kim_JH]

6:58 Delayed Bongcloud 😂

[@ericm6208]

I am enjoying these. I would say though the overhead angle was a little too off-axis left-and-right. If possible, I think it would look better if it was off-axis up-and-down -- meaning it would look better closer to the actual eye-line as if the camera is playing.

[@vancovio]

Your chessup videos are awesome! Appreciate you posting these.

[@George_Bland]

You mentioned the speedrun account, I think it would be cool to see you use this in the speedrun however I think I would prefer a digital version on the screen instead of the top down camera.

[@justinkeefe3456]

I’d prefer the top down and digital. The other is too angled to see what’s going on.

[@dumbledorelives93]

I noticed that it didn't light up when you won by resignation... does it only light up for checkmates? I wonder if that will be fixed in the final version

[@RobDurham]

I’d order one of these! The only tricky thing would be under a minute chaos. I would love to be able to review my OTB games though. For me that would be the biggest benefit.

[@KMacDTSMusic]

It’s awesome because I got the wobbly board, and then saw you make a video with it, and literally just bought this board and see you make a video with it😂

[@Squilfinator]

I imagine time scrambles are something else

[@chasingmemories1266]

That was brutal, well played

[@BennyKleykens]

Looks a whole lot like the Vonset L6! Seems like the same board but 'next gen'.

[@Victor-ji1rz]

Will lichess be integrated ?

[@JuliusBjornsson]

Lichess is supported in the app, available on your phone/tablet

[@EuropaBCA]

Why did I find this just now? I hate the youtube algorithm (btw love the vid)

[@CJ-22]

7:44 why not Knight c7? 😢

[@dreamofsleeping1980]

I enjoy these videos but the camera angle of the board in your previous video was easier to see what was going on.

[@The_Champion_96]

Poisonous pion game

[@thetransferaccount4586]

but can it play drawback chess?

[@timm439]

How easy is it to swap accounts (e.g. multiple family members switching)?

[@stevewest4994]

In lower level games might the board give the player a slight advantage in that it shows all the legal moves?

[@debrascott8775]

I think you can also turn that off, if I read correctly.

[@Zesteas]

It shows legal moves on the website too

[@marthalea876]

Does the new board not do the disco lights for win/draw that the first board does?! 😞

[@marcusw3996]

Right, it's too late to order one now.

[@paristhewabbit]

Play some bullet now!!!

[@recfin23]

You should play vs ASMR Chess who also has one of these chess up 2 boards 😀

[@NawinMallika]

Can one play in online tournaments?

[@ekie7473]

Most likely yes

[@Voldemort318]

Is there lichess integration

[@ekie7473]

Yes

[@justindenisuk1015]

I will do 1 sit up for every like this gets

[@rootleft7928]

do this but unironically, chess sucks, scrabble rules

[@BottleOfCoke]

I'll take the bait... Scrabble is more stochastic and has the limitation of being played in a certain language. Chess however, is deterministic and does not discriminate players of different countries. Both games can be played with high complexity and various strategies. I understand you prefer Scrabble over chess, but saying that chess sucks is just childish. Go watch Scrabble and rid us of your negativity.

[@rootleft7928]

​@@BottleOfCoke it wasn't bait, and it also wasn't negativity. crossed wires, np

[@ndmb6333]

I will do 10 pushups for every comment this comment gets

[@JuliusBjornsson]

So, now you can do your first 10😉

[@kleefan8]

I like these videos, Eric. I an thinking of getting this for chess training. Do you think the pieces/board are big enough to help with OTB training for tournaments? I know the boards used in tournaments are quite bigger than this one. Thanks.

[@jwhyte]

Just pledged, now the 6 month wait, excited!

[@quazzydiscman]

That's really cool. I found myself coloring along on the overhead cam and the kinda and queens look nearly identical from directly above. Aside from that it was a neat flawless content experience!!!

[@marcusw3996]

Nice, but the offer has expired. They should have gone until June.

Nice board, looks like they need to improve the colors on display though.

[@PhotogNT]

Does the new Chess up 2 have full piece recognition? I’m thinking about getting one of these boards.

[@carlwendt5696]

Yes it does. Which is a significant upgrade from version 1.

[@pannenkoeksus]

No push up for you today 🤣🤣🤣

Eric needs to pin this & contribute to someone's physique

[@ieaatclams]

I bestow 10 trillion dislikes. Do push downs

[@andrewcarter7503]

I will give you one like for every 10 push ups you do.

[@assisttt7174]

@@andrewcarter7503 daaaaaaymn!!!

[@diegodelallata]

Thanks for the split screen!

[@pastpianist]

Won't this make this kind of unfair because people who you are playing against can premove but you really can't? Time trouble is going to be very bad against someone playing online.

[@guyjackson4165]

Top-down view of the board is a bad way to show it off. It ends up looking like a 2D board - the very thing potential customers want to get away from. The other video had a much better (angled) view. Also, that video had the Alien Gambit which is worth at least a thousand extra sales!

[@kaptkraut]

The new board actually looks nice. Will it have some kind of sound to connect both worlds, online and offline? At least the resigns would have been nice with an AI voice.

[@theAV8R]

I think it might be worth trying an isometric view of the board taking up 60% to 100% of our screens, with your non-green-screened torso on either the left side if not overlaid. Though I'm sure you already tried and just don't post if you don't like the result.

[@Leavenfish]

Yes, more please.

[@ralphderkapitaen9875]

You wish you could see your opponent “suffer”?? 😅 bluntly admitting he is a sadist? Geeze, what did this game come to. 😅😊😅

[@Goalbound01]

They need to make the pieces move by themselves
