Next-Gen Chess Notation
The Challenge
Chess notation is essential for rated tournament play, but the process can be frustrating. Players often struggle with forgetting moves, running out of space on score sheets, and making repeated notation errors. While electronic notation devices exist, they are outdated, require a stylus, and are difficult to find. Most are either backordered or no longer in production, leaving players with limited options. A better solution is needed—one that is modern, intuitive, and readily available for today’s competitive chess players.

ChessNoteR is the future of chess notation, offering a modern, reliable, and intuitive solution for electronic notation. We identified the challenges of existing devices and took a fresh approach—removing unnecessary complexity while enhancing ease of use. The result is a streamlined, touch-based application that makes notation effortless and accurate. No stylus required, no outdated technology—just a next-generation solution built for players who want the best notation experience.
