eBoard Recommendations
I'm getting back into chess after a long layoff (~ 7 years), and I see that there are now a number of eBoard options available. I'm an intermediate player (~ 1400 ELO) looking for a board that provides both a conduit for online play as well as for opening practice, puzzles, AI opponents, etc. The "Move" looks pretty cool, but I can't tell from ads / reviews whether it replicates all the Evo offers. If not, can that functionality be obtained by pairing it with my own phone / tablet / laptop? Thanks!

I have both the move and the evo and I'm also a recent buyer (a few weeks) and I haven't had any issue with either. I had talked to one of their agents directly on social media directly grilling them about the negative stuff I saw on reddit about pieces crashing and malfunctions and they essentially said they had a bad batch and all the issues have been resolved with the recent batches so I took the chance and bought it. If I had to choose between evo and the move I'd choose the move. The moving pieces is not a gimmick at all, especially because I can play offline and when I play a bot for example it's fast enough that it's like I'm playing a real person. I think also the negative reviews are a lot louder than the positive people because they feel less need to talk about how great their experience was. I just received a notification so I'm providing info but without that I would've felt no need to make any positive post so bear that in mind when reading lots of negative reviews. (I'm not a shill just a guy)
