Chessnut Pro
Full tournament-size wooden board, hidden LEDs, the same chip-based recognition.
The Pro is the tournament-size wooden Chessnut. 55-centimetre board, full wooden construction, hidden LEDs under the surface — at rest it reads as a serious chessboard, not a piece of tech. The chip-based piece recognition is identical to the Air and Air+, and the pieces are interchangeable across all three. What changes is the playing surface: tournament dimensions, full piece weight, the kind of board that stays on a table rather than moving with the player.
Position in the lineup
The Pro is the Chessnut for serious tabletop play. Air and Air+ portable; Pro stationary. It's the board for over-the-board tournaments played on Lichess or Chess.com, the pace of the play matching the size of the surface. Buyers stepping up from a portable Chessnut keep their existing pieces.
