Last time I checked there are still people being born every day. So Chessup2 should not be worried about "customer shortage " any time soon. And the whole point ( ar leasf in my opinion) of this board lighting up in all the colors ( showing every available move, from bad to best) is to help people LEARN how to play chess. I can't imagine any GM touching every piece before he moves just to see the colored lights come on...
Personally I am very pleased to find out about any future update or upgread, especially lessons. Thank you Jeff.

Trying to find out if the Chessup 2 has lessons. I bought the Chessup 1 for this feature but it never really materialized pass a few beginner lessons. Any information is appreciated.
Update in January should push out the lessons release for both platforms.
We have two lesson content creators now and will have ongoing releases in 2025. The lesson experience will be very similar/identical ChessUp 1 and ChessUp 2 - so if you already have ChessUp 1, the ChessUp 2 will not add much there.
That was one of the bigger projects because we had to create lesson creation software (behind the scenes). We are still committed to growing that to a large library of lessons.
Are the lessons going to be an additional charge if you want to add them?

My basic take is that basic chess 'lessons' are a dime a dozen on the internet and with (I believe) every platform out there - chess.com, lichess, ICC etc. I'm not sure why ChessUp chose to put resources into more...but maybe someone will be enticed into buying due to them.

The prompt when posting says "please be relevant and kind" . I will do so despite some of the arrogant comments from others. The lessons go beyond beginner according to the Beta version on IOS. In fact the top two levels are expert and Master

Yes! We do it for everyone. We put a lot into the beginning series - as a brand we are very much about getting people into Chess and being a board for all. So a lot of content for beginners. We start from how do the pieces move and go up from there.
On the high end the lessons are from WGM Tatev Abrahamyan (2397 FIDE peak rating).

I have had a positive experience with the board so far. I have spent multiple hours a day on it, and enjoy the time I have spent on there. My rating has improved somewhat since i got the board. Does anyone know if they will make an update concerning more flexible time settings for online games? Just asking because my favorite setting is absent so far.

I can’t wait to receive my Chessup 2 and I am very impressed of the open an helpful answers in here from cosmoKJ and the team. Thank you for taking your time to answer, making updates etc.🙏 Yesterday I got an email from Bryght Labs that my board was shipped from The Netherlands to Denmark where I live. Today FedEx text me that the expected delivery is the 30th of December 🥺 Bryght support expected 3 days in transit and delievery before Christmas but I guess that FedEx is not that ambitious 😣

Aw that's so sad! At least the new year might have something to look forward to. Mine arrived after my birthday even though UPS promised it would be there previous to the date. Oh well at least it's only like 9 days away!
You may now kindly provide the credible source for your repeated claim.

I agree with his claim but also yours as odd as that may sound.
The product aims to be a help for people new to the game or who want to learn it. That's fine. No problem (although, as I've opined, the internet is littered with 'chess learning' material and for many will be a waste)....but it's to be integrated with the features of the board, so I can see why they are trying that.
A product (clearly as well) primarily has to target people who do play the game fairly well...and play it well enough to plop down $300 or so. That's a no-brainer. Thousands are playing many thousands of games each day online with it! So, that's their first obligation to get right/fix issues some (rather small percentage) are having.
So, they do both. They've made the calculated bet that spending time/effort on 'lessons' and what they can do with their lighted squares is worth the money/time/effort. That's fine...heck, boards that do less sell for more so, I see no problem.

Could also be targeted at the parents who can "plop down $300 or so", not just players themselves, so the parents can get something to try and get their kids to play more, kids who are beginners, who need basic lessons that mom and dad are too busy to do with their kids.

But....a large base of people who already play the game exists - so it would be a poor business decision to not have them as your primary target.
Parent buying for their kids are going to be below that larger base when you are tiering your targets. That's just the math.

You can target to more than one group. Hence the reason I used the word "also".
Do you truly think businesses only target to one group? Would be a pretty poorly run business.
Btw I was referring to the claim of there being barely any new players to the game of chess 
bruh not that many people are beginners these days
