Looking for electronic chess set for my kid. As big as possible.
Sort:
I have some experience with e-boards, including building my own. I can better help you w/ some more info:
What is the main purpose for this set?
How much is your target budget range?
What is "big"? (Is the assumption of tournament size ideal? Or novelty size is better?)

Thanks.
The purpose is to give it to a 7 years old son. He already knows the basic rules of chess.
I would like him to enjoy chess (e-boards are interactive) and to make his first steps (learn not to blunder basically). The board doesn't have to be difficult or much challenging.
The budget is, let's say, 100$ if it worth it.
The size is important for two reasons: It's less fun to play on 10cm on 10cm board and the other one is that it is easier to the eye to notice things on big board when you're a beginner.
So thank you mgx9600, what do you have in mind?
Sorry, I've not used any commercial e-board in that price range; but I think for $100, you are probably going to have to go with an e-board using switch sensor technology, which means there's a switch under each square that you must push (with the moving piece) to register piece movements.
But the good news is that that such price point, those e-boards all seem to have an embedded chess computer in them. Something like this:

An e-board can be helpful with what you want to achieve. Again, I don't know the capabilities of the e-board above, but on my e-boards, we can record OTB games and have the computer analyze in realtime or later. I use that to give an incentive to my son that if he makes no blunders then, he gets some reward. If he makes a blunder after his opponent, he also gets some rewards.
Should be easy to operate.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
