Chess the human way.
Kinetic is building a real chessboard that moves the pieces for you.
Join the early listPrototype in development. More soon.
Built around real movement
Magnetic planar motion beneath the surface
Designed for online play
Under 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.
The 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.
