Best Electronic Chess Board for Kids

Hi.  I have a 6 year old.  Trying to teach him chess.  I was looking at the Chess Up board, as it seems like it's a good board for him to touch the pieces and show him the good moves vs bad ones, and I can setup the AI to play at my level so it gives him the sense of playing on my level.  Is that the case with this board?  Which is the best board for kids?  I don't really care about online play ATM, but it would be a nice benefit.

TIA!

Retro dedicated chess computer Mephisto's "Chess Challenger" has eight adaptive levels which are very important for child's motivation (well and for adult's, too). It should cost no more than 50 - 80 bucks on "Ebay". I've seen "ChessUp" and not impressed. It looks shiny, "sweet" and cheap, preferelably for girls. But this one, beforementioned is so cool that even have additional "secret" options beside them from the official manual (additional set of unlimited options).

Mephisto Chess Challenger

Virtually unlimited options and settings most even not present in the most modern software with added benefit of playing OTB. Manual for specific model easy searchable over the net.

Hi, I think the current best for kids is the Vonset aka Femuey L6. The board LEDs and moves detection system looks similar to the ChessUp ones, but unlike the ChessUp you don't need a smartphone aside to host an app with a powerful enough chess engine: with the L6 it is on board with plenty of levels from very weak up to very (really!) strong.

I see many people from another threads also consider "Vonset L6". Cool thing is that many of them are not the extreme fans of the online play also. With dedicated device one is on the safe side, at least you know nobody cheat. Interesting that there are many people from the "first class countries" who consider "Chessnut EVO" expensive...

I recommend this board for beginners

As I could see that's some kind of dice included to randomize moves? How is the situation with dedicated electronic chess computers in your country?

The L6 has a somewhat hidden feature to randomize moves/openings. At the beginning of a game before you make your first move (as white), just hit the 'hint' button. Each time you hit that button, it will suggest various opening moves for white, however, this also changes the black's opening first move. So for example you can make the white's E4 move every time, but black will respond differently, thus randomizing openings. I can highly recommend the L6 (either Femuey or Vonset are really the same) for a dedicated electronic chess game.

Beside being newer hardware than "Saitek Chess Challenger", for what else L6 would be better? E-ink display, not clear why one is necessary when the previous one also have possibility of setting-up position with verifying?

Hi,

no need to press squares with the L6; instant response even using strongest levels; and much stronger (if you select one of the highest levels) are the main areas. Less important but still valuable, voice announcement of moves, in-squares LEDs (with colors for beginners), using a standard USB charger for battery power, puzzle mode for beginners.

Thank you, @kiwimotard, I should suppose these advancements, very logical.

edit: Anyway, hope that one day I'll be able to beat 'fun level 6' on CC...
