ChessPAD: An E-Ink Board for Screen-Free Chess

Field notes

The proposed device combines a physical chess interface with an e-ink display and several modes: two-player pass-and-play, three levels of bots running locally, Lichess games, puzzles, and opening or endgame lessons. The page says online play requires logging in once, while the bot mode works without a connection. ChessPAD is presented as in development, with no price or release date listed; visitors can request a single notification when it ships.
