Robotic ChessOnce amongst the highest tech item money could buy for less than the price of a small saloon car electronic chess sets have remained pretty much the same since the early eighties.

Their multitude of microprocessors performed a pretty good job in teaching us everything from the basics to potentially check-mating Kasparov play yet there’s something not quite right about having to move both players pieces.

Stepping up to the board is the all new 2Robot with a robotic arm that picks up its pieces and makes his own moves.

Let 2Robot assist you in your rise from rookie to Grandmaster status with an excellent teaching module or set it to speed mode for the more proficient to play a fast game.

Could 2Robot be the droid to make chess cool?

Will it learn from its human keeper and sweep the board to knock down all the pieces when faced with defeat?
