I am a beginner and i really think an e board would help me, also i don’t like tu stare in screens while playing chess and i concentrate way more if its physical. i would like to know which is worth more ik the chess up is way better but is it gonna make that big of a difference? are there any better ones below 250dollars?

thank you in advance and sorry if my english is bad english isn’t my first language

I own the Chessnut Air+. It has the same functionality as the Chessnut Go. I don't own the ChessUp 2 so I can't compare it's functionality.

I'm like you and I don't like to stare at a screen. The Chessnut Go is probably the cheapest e-board you can buy that gives you access to the best features on Chesscom.

In addition to playing Live Games and Bot Games, I also use my Chessnut to analyze my games using the Chesscom Game Review and Analysis feature. Also I use my Chessnut Board to manually record Games from chess books and from watching interesting chess videos I see on the internet. I then save them to the Chesscom Library so I can replay them OTB on my Chessnut Air+.

You are welcome.

I forgot to mention two additional Chesscom features that I find very useful while using my Chessnut e-board and they are Chesscom Lessons and Chesscom Puzzles.

It takes a minute to set up the pieces on the Chessnut board, but the LED lights make it go easy and I believe the benefit of doing lessons and puzzles OTB is worth it.
