Millennium Chess has roots in Mephisto Chess computers and really builds on this legacy today with an innovative and well balanced range of chess computers for the home.
The King Performance was released in fall 2019 and while it doesn't have auto sensing move input, it does have many of the best features in the Millennium computers including the powerful and customizable King engine. Watch this interview for ideas in your search for a suitable computer.
Following this video, watch the Styles video for a demonstration on how to set the features we covered.

Executive Chessmen Shown: chesshouse.com/products/4-executive-chessmen-ebonizedHow to Connect & Play DGT Board with Chess.comChess House2020-05-26 | This video shows you the steps to connect, install, and enable your DGT chess board for play on chess.com. I recommend games of 15 minutes or more because you’ll be making moves for both players. Be prepared to swivel the board on your table depending on who is playing white or black. Also, and maybe most important, this demonstration shows you how to enable the voice move announcements so that you do not need to be looking at a computer screen. This works in Google Chrome. I’m using Windows 10 for this demonstration.
The DGT Board is the Smartboard with coordinates. I have paired it with the Timeless wooden pieces which are not the standard plastic pieces that come with the Smart Board but are another compatible design typically paired with the Walnut or other wooden DGT boards.
So far, I don’t think there is compatibility with the DGT Pi or DGT Clocks while playing on chess.com. But neither is it really relevant in my opinion when you can hear the moves announced and keep your eyes on the board play.Josh Zwagil and Elliott Neff give 500 chess sets to help familiesChess House2020-03-31 | Josh Zwagil and Elliott Neff have very generously teamed up to help 500 families and bring kids this great indoors activity. 500 FREE Chess4Life Starter Chess Sets will go to families with kids who are excited to learn chess!

Here's a closer look at the STACK in Wenge and Maple with 2.25" squares and how it is assembled and re-stacked in the suede cover. chesshouse.com/collections/st-louis-chess-clubFirst Look at NEW King Performance Chess Computer by MillenniumChess House2019-11-28 | Here are my thoughts on the new computer by Millennium coming early December 2019. Earlier this year, the Centaur by DGT came out. It offered an amazing "just turn it on and play" experience and has been really successful for those who want to do away with all extra features. This King Performance however is a total win from the standpoint of an all-in-one beautiful chess computer with lots of ways to customize it and keep things interesting. I love that Chess960 is built in as well. Plus it's very reassuring that it can connect for app, computer, or online play via the bluetooth device ChessLink. It's updatable too, making it future proof. The King Performance doesn't have autosensory board and requires a slight press of the squares. It offers a lot of value compared to the Centaur however at a price of slightly less than the Centaur. More here chesshouse.com/products/millennium-chess-computer-the-king-performance.
This computer will certainly help you with your chess strategy and learning to play better chess moves. If you are shopping around and comparing various chess computers, the most similar items in the price range will be DGT products. Until the Centaur, DGT chess boards have not had intelligence built into the board and have relied on a PC connected computer to provide the chess engine. Now, with the King Performance you have everything built into one self-contained machine so you can enjoy playing chess against the computer without the need for a PC or Mac. The King Performance has enough features to make it very interesting and customizable but not too many to be overwhelming. Just remember, you'll need to press lightly on the squares to make your moves.DGT Centaur Chess Computer update Nov 19, 2019Chess House2019-11-19 | Here’s an update from Raphael about the Centaur chess computer. chesshouse.com/products/dgt-centaur-chess-computerChoosing a Portable Travel Chess Set: Chess Sets GuideChess House2019-11-17 | Raphael shares insights around various travel chess sets to help guide you to a suitable chess set that's portable.

Instead of being overwhelmed by different skill levels, here's an approach that will keep your sanity and the students will served with engaging material appropriate to their level. When teaching students in a chess class at school, this is especially important when starting out that you get to know each students approximate level and begin to group them in similar levels.

This latest hand crafted wood board is stunning new wood combination in the original very successful Player's design. I love the dark and light contrasting wood grain that wenge and maple offers. What struck me especially was how heavy the board is (10.5lbs! vs the 7.5lb walnut style). This is my new favorite board and will be perfect for anyone wanting a stunning, extremely well made chess board for the home. Thanks for watching!

I also give my thoughts on who will enjoy this machine - and who might not. The DGT Centaur is unique in that it intelligently adapts to your chess play level while playing in a human-like style. This means you'll have a chance to win while being challenged! The Centaur really focuses on providing an intuitive, distraction free, and innovative chess playing experience, solo. If you or someone you know would love to play chess and is struggling to find a chess player at a skill level that's matched evenly, the Centaur is that perfect chess friend. While other chess computers boast hundreds of different features, DGT has packed only the most essential into the Centaur, keeping the experience free of complexity. For this reason, connoisseurs might be disappointed. It's more appealing to casual players wanting to play, practice, and improve their game and not so much for collectors - in my opinion. That said, it can play at it's highest at nearly world champion level, so you'll know that the hints, or analysis provided are very high level suggestions. What if you want to review a game of your own, or a game you saw somewhere? Setting it up on the Centaur is very easy. From this position you can then play or watch the computer's analysis of best moves. While the features are not as extensive as the most advanced computers - in fact very limited, the comfortable size and playability without dependence on the display is impressive.
