Chess the human way.

Chess the human way.

Kinetic is building a real chessboard that moves the pieces for you.

Join the early listPrototype in development. More soon.
Chess pieces gliding by themselves across a wooden chessboard.

01The idea

Online chess made it possible to play anyone, anywhere. But it also moved one of the world’s most physical games onto a screen.

Kinetic is bringing the board back.

02Under the surface

Beneath the surface is patented magnetic motion technology, designed to move real chess pieces smoothly across a physical board.

Above the surface, it still feels like chess: a board, pieces, and a human thinking through the next move.

03Built around real movement

Real pieces. Real movement. Real chess.
