PLAY ONLINE ON MAJOR CHESS PLATFORMS The iChessOne board offers a unique combination of the traditional chess experience with modern online play features. It supports leading online chess platforms such as Lichess and Chess.com, providing a natural and engaging chess experience on a physical board. To start playing online, access the "Play Online" feature in the iChessOne app. For Lichess users, a simple authorization within the app connects the account, allowing quick and direct access to online matches. In addition to human opponents, the iChessOne supports play against chess engines of varying levels of difficulty. This option is suitable for all skill levels and offers a wide range of challenges. It supports both correspondence and real-time play. Correspondence play allows moves to be made over extended periods of time, making it ideal for players who prefer a slower pace or are playing with friends or family in different time zones. Real-time play offers a faster-paced, competitive experience for immediate engagement. 4 4. PLAY OFFLINE AND ANALYZE THE GAMES When using the iChessOne board for offline games (player vs. player on a board), the log can be saved and a Portable Game Notification (PGN) file can be generated for further analysis, eliminating the need to manually record moves on paper. The app allows you to select the type of clock, offering classic and tournament styles, as well as casual games with no time limit. The auto-start feature automatically starts the clock when you start the game. With Auto-Click enabled, moves detected by the sensors are automatically confirmed. If this option is disabled, the board waits for the player to press a button on the mobile device screen, similar to pressing a clock in a chess tournament. The app view can be customized by adding a board visualization, scaling size of the move acceptance buttons, displaying a time bar, displaying tenths of seconds near the end of the game, and changing the color of the move acceptance buttons in the final period. The game can be paused at any time and resumed later. All finished games are automatically saved in the "Recent Games" section for later analysis. The exceptional piece detection system, created by combination of ultra-fast magnetic sensors and RFID, allows games to be played in less than 1 minute per player, satisfying all blitz and bullet enthusiasts. 5 5.
