### 5/5 — Grand Kingdom Set

*2026-03-09, version 1.0.29*

I was an early adopter of the Square Off company, purchasing their flag-ship product, the Grand Kingdom Chess Board. It is an excellent product, wowing my family and friends when they see the opposing chess pieces move by themselves, and equally when the pieces reset the board on completing a game. I had an issue last year when Square Off rebranded to Miko Chess, in that my Square Off app stopped resetting the pieces. I contacted the Support Team who responded quickly to my query. Although it took them some development team to resolve the issue they did keep me regularly updated on their progress and eventually the issue was resolved. I find the IOS app very intuitive and have had no further issues with my games. My Grand Kingdom Set still looks the impressive piece of technology kit I purchased on initial release, plays beautifully, still has the wow factor. Keep supporting the IOS app and continue to provide regular software updates please. All in all, a fantastic chess board and playing experience, and one that I have no hesitation in highly recommending. Keep up the great work!
