TL;DR: Through Jan. 26, you can pick up the Square Off Grand Kingdom smart chessboard set for $369.99 instead of $499 — that’s 26% in savings.

Chess may be a very old game, but that hasn’t stopped it from changing over the years. This smart chessboard can connect online and move physical pieces on its own, and you can get it for 25% off until 11:59 p.m. PT on January 26. 

A high-tech chessboard 

Square Off’s Grand Kingdom Set even made an appearance at CES this year. Try a new twist on an old favorite. This set gives you a beautiful, wood-finished board with a secret inside. This Kickstarter-funded chessboard lets you connect to other players online. Join a community of 30 million chess players and test your skills. When your opponent makes a move, the corresponding piece will automatically move across the board. If you need practice, you can also play the built-in AI with 20 difficulty levels. 

After a game against the computer or a real player, you can set up a game analysis through the Square Off app. Practice as long as you want, but the battery may only last for up to 15 games before it needs a recharge. But even without a charge, this set is still a beautiful rosewood-colored chess board that comes with two 32 playing pieces. 

Your opponents online don’t need to have a Square Off chessboard to play. Those 30 million other plays come from some of the most popular chess destinations online like chess.com and Lichess. Compete with friends or strangers and start working your way toward grand master status.
