Brainy Board

The BrainyBoard chess system is an innovative, interactive platform designed to make chess learning more visual and intuitive. When a player selects a piece (as indicated by the arrow on the picture), the board instantly lights up all the legal moves that piece can make. This includes not just the basic moves, but every special rule in the game: castling, en passant, pins, checks, checkmates, and more. The system is 100% accurate and fully aware of all the official rules of chess, ensuring that every suggestion it gives is correct. Whether you're solving a puzzle or exploring potential strategies, BrainyBoard removes guesswork by clearly showing what’s possible on the board. This makes it an ideal learning tool for new players and a helpful training aid for more advanced ones. By combining rule-based logic with real-time visual feedback, the board enhances both understanding and engagement with the game.
