There are three different types of chess, all of which are characterized by their unique properties. From digital models to basic chess and a variant that combines the technological with the classic model. Each one will respond to specific use and demands of the players.
Physical. The physical model can be either magnetic or regular. It consists of the board, either wood, metal, or marble, together with its corresponding pieces. You can find folding models, which will allow you the possibility of transporting them easily from one place to another.
Digital. Since the mid-1950s, computerized chess has been gaining ground among players. Although its conception, the idea of automated chess, was conceived many years earlier. It consists of a digital replica of the board and pieces, where you can play against the machine or even online against players from other countries.
Electronic chess. This type of chess is a hybrid of the first two. It consists of a physical board and pieces but includes an interface that creates a connection with the computer to play against it. Or, alternatively, it contains internal software. In turn, some models have a digital clock included, as well as handheld versions.
