I recently had a family trip to Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef and I brought along my Chessnut Air!

Travelling with the Chessnut Air is really quite convenient. I have the padded carry bag for the Air which safely holds the board, the pieces, and the phone holder. This carry bag fits snugly inside a standard sized carry-on luggage bag so it can stay in the cabin rather than in checked luggage if you are travelling light!

I played this game against Little Chess Noob, and recorded the game and exported the PGN using Chess PGN Master (http://pgnmaster.kalab.com/) on Android. I paid for the full licence with my own money and this isn’t a sponsored video – I just think this is a great bit of third party software for the Chessnut Air and PRO!

Enjoy!
