[[FILE:certabo_chip.jpg|border|right|thumb| Certabo Identifying Chips]]
The Italian company Certabo manufactures and markets electronic chessboards with automatic pieces recognition to allow playing against strong chess engines on stylish traditional wooden boards. Unlike other electronic boards, Certabo boards do not necessarily come with their own, fixed pieces. Instead, a set of 34 identifying chips is provided, which can be attached to the bottom of pieces in any set. Although mostly intended for chess (32 pieces and 2 additional queens for promotion)
Although the company provides its own software
