Anybody familiar with this product? Is there a better choice for a self moving chess board with a strong engine? Maybe stockfish.

Also supports Chess.com if memory serves me correctly.

True, but there really isn't anything comparable for less.

The board itself does not contain the engine. The board requires you to use an app that is downloaded and installed to your cell phone. Without the app, one cannot play it. You can download the app today ( both and Android and Iphone) and play the engine. The app itself is limited in features but is based on stockfish so it is hard to beat at full strength.
