It does not come with an adapter, but I can tell you I have put batteries in once and I have had it for ... I forgot (1-2 years?) **Q: is it easy to set up** A: It is easy to set up if it works! The first one I received didn't. I received a second and when I returned the first I was told that there were pieces missing and I had damaged it. Both these comments were not true. I never received my refund for the first unit. **Q: Are there any relatively inexpensive games of a similar nature for an infrequent player ?** A: You get what you pay for! I'd say for an infrequent player, you might want to look at downloading some chess software for your computer, or maybe there's some free websites to practice on. Good luck and Happy Holidays! **Q: does it use batteries?** A: It does, but it uses very little energy. I have not changed batteries since purchase. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well, it seemed like a good idea. *by N***M on March 5, 2014* I was surprised and pleased to learn that my granddaughter was playing chess. Since no one else in her family does, I got her this electronic game. She reported to me that the game always told her her moves were illegal. This means she only THOUGHT she was playing chess, didn't know the moves, and wasn't about to be taught by a machine. A nice game if the user follows through. ### ⭐⭐ Chess *by J***6 on July 9, 2013* There are problems with the product. For instance, I am about to make a move and the screen goes blank and it stops working or I get weird random symbols, such as lines and stars. So, I put in new batteries and the game starts over. I have had to change batteries about 3 times, about once every two games. And it goes from telling me where to place its side, such as "D7-D5" which makes sense to symbols that don't make sense and "08 05" What is 08 05 supposed to mean? I do not see instructions in the rule book, for what the screen symbols refer to. And if I make a move and am about to check the machine, then it switches sides and becomes my side. If white(me) is winning, the machine goes from being black to being white, and refuses to change. Maybe since it is a computer it is instructed to win rather than play chess, but it is confusing. The instruction manual is insufficient. The screen goes from letters and numbers to symbols and changes sides during the game. It is very frustrating. Also, more than once, I am about to make a move and the screen goes dark and it stops working alltogether. ### ⭐ Some squares do not work.... Frustrating. *by A***D on October 19, 2011* I've seen this complaint about Excalibur's chess products online, after I experienced it myself. In my case, the H8 square was not working. So everytime a King side castling move needed to be done, the computer would not let me proceed. For those of you who are looking to buy this, the chess computer requires you to press (either the piece or your finger) on the starting square and the destination square, when a move is made. So when I say that a square does not work, I mean that the computer does not recognize a press on that square.I returned mine. DB Roth was kind enough to give me a refund even though I had passed the return date. Amazon paid for half of the cost to ship it back to them. So, I can't say I was very unhappy with the return process.Advice to future buyers of this product. Don't buy it. I was lucky that I found this problem on a square that is frequently moved from. It is quite possible that other sets would have problems on squares where moves are not made that often. You would not want to catch that after 3-4 months of owning the board, especially, if you are buying this to play casually once in a while.In my case, I bought this for my son to learn. After this experience, I decided to buy a more expensive chess computer - the Novag Aquamarine through Amazon. I will write a review of it once I receive it. I found one user having a similar complaint about one of the inexpensive chess computers from Saitech as well, and so I got cautious, and stayed away from them as well. The Novag Aquamarine does not have a single user review. I hope I am luckier this time. I say that because I have even seen a good review of one these chess computers say that they loved it even though the presses on the squares stopped working after the first two weeks. I'm sure I wouldn't love that. In the end, it looks like getting any of these chess computers is a bit of a gamble.I also considered buying an autosensory board, but decided against it. There is only one I could find, called the Novag Citrine that is $150 and is not available on Amazon. Although I have not seen any major complaints about it, I decided against buying it. These autosensory boards do not require presses, because the pieces have magnets and I suppose the square are able to pick up the magnets. This means there is more than one thing that can go wrong with these boards. In addition to a square going bad, it is possible that a magnet could fall off a piece or could lose it's magnetization.My main reasons for buying a chess computer :-1. Keep my son away from using a computer for chess - keep him from straining his eyes. He already watches too much TV IMHO.2. I'm not good at chess, I would like him to learn and grow up playing a worthy opponent from the get go.3. He doesn't have to depend on me or my wife to be able to play chess. When he's with his friends, they don't really want to play chess. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/11756911-electronic-chess-wizard](https://www.desertcart.be/products/11756911-electronic-chess-wizard) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
