Re: New Chessnut Evo
Hi all, I weakened and pledged for a Chessnut Evo. It seems an intriguing device and think it will fit well with my small collection. I still very much like my Millennium board and TheKing/Genius element, especially TheKing, and that won't change, but the Evo will be my first venture into neuronal chess on a dedicated machine. I will surely make a post once receiving the board with my opinions of it, but so far from YouTube videos of the pre-release model, it seems to be a very nice machine with some good features. I was a little put off by it having Stockfish15 engine, not that I dislike Stockfish, but as said before, it seems that every new chess computer is Stockfish-based. However, it's very likely that other engines will become available for download or via apps. Also, it does have the Maia engine which I find of interest and LC0 which is used to create custom engines, so couldn't resist.
