I remember seeing one about 10 years ago, but I don't think it was very
popular because of the speed and accracy. I beleive it used a touch sensor
grid to detect moves, rather than scanning the board for changes. To move
pieces out of the way, it would move them to the edges of the squares and
squeeze the piece between. An interesting technique I tried initially, but
chose not to use as the positional accuracy of the robot wasn't good enough.
I've no idea of the make/model of this machine, so if anybody knows, I'd be
interested too.

| Andy: (...) Yep, many years ago I wanted a "new" chess board. It did what your RCX robot does. It was called Phantom Chess -- 6100 by Milton Bradly. Even then it was very expensive. (about $1200 CAN) a link is here: (URL) (22 years ago, 21-Oct-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| Andy, Congratulations! I Love how the robot moves the pieces from under the board. I had the same Idea but got intimidated by piece identification Do you know if there are actual player –vs.- computer chess boards that operate like this or is yours (...)
