MEPHISTO Phoenix Chess Computer with tournament sized Chess Board (55 mm squares)

Online chess on the board - easier than ever before

With the Mephisto Phoenix, online chess becomes pure pleasure. The device offers the fastest and most stable way to play chess online on a real board.

The Phoenix chess computer establishes a direct connection to the LiChess servers via the official LiChess interface, which means that the transmission path from the chess board to the server is via WLAN. This enables a faster and more stable connection cmpared to systems that use additional interfaces such as Bluetooth connections to mobile devices.

The direct connection to the server reduces the latency that can occur when transferring chess moves between the physical board and the online server. This significantly improves the gaming experience and enables a smooth game.

For users of the Mephisto Phoenix, this means that they can simply switch on the device and play online immediately without having to worry about complicated connection steps. Using the "Play Online" function, they can challenge friends and compete agains other players directly from the Phoenix, just as they would against the integrated engines. Everything happens at the touch of a button, directly on the chessboard. With your own pieces in hand, the gaming experience is more authentic and intuitive thanever before.

The Mephisto Phoenix is a UCI based multi-engine chess computer, which provides access to a huge variety in chess gaming. With Shredder Neuronal and Stockfish NNUE, you see the world’s first dedicated chess computer using most modern neuronal engine technologies.

The module in its modern design comes with a large color touch screen made from real glass. Accompanied by the well-structured touch menu system it is meant to be the perfect home station for chess lovers of all ages, all playing strengths and all experience levels.

Most powerful chess computer of all times

The Phoenix comes with 4 different Top-Class Engines on Board: Shredder 13.5, Komodo 14.1, Hiarcs 14.2 and Stockfish 15 NNUE. Starting from a very simple level, which is also suitable for absolute beginners, the system can reach a maximum performance of over 3400 ELO. In fact, there are countless options to adjust the playing strength to your individual needs. The system covers the widest playing strength range ever provided by a chess computer.

Shredder offers a highly interesting new function with its fully automatic self-adapting playing strength with ELO rating. In this way you can continuously monitor your progress and see how much you have improved through training with the computer.

The evaluation bar beside the chess board tells you at first glance how the engine rates the position. Any blunders are quickly noticed that way and you always have a feeling on how good you do.

Great opening training per your needs

The machine comes with some different opening books: The standard one by Mark Uniacke provides you with more than 1.000.000 positions, all from master play. This is the biggest opening book ever provided by a dedicated chess computer.

The system is expanded with 23 classical chess computer emulations running at a high speed. Most remarkable is the ”Mephisto Glasgow“, the legendary world championship program of 1984 - which runs on the MEPHISTO PHOENIX system at a speed of approx. 66 times faster than the original machine of the time.

With the speed bar you easily control the emulation speed or set it to the speed of the original chess computer, button and display layout follows the originals.

Updates for the System come via WIFI directly on the unit, and if you purchase additional software in the computerchess.com webstore it is installed as easy as with the press of one button.
