Some chess programs have this as an option. You can enter your moves by
typing them on your keyboard, pick up and move the pieces on your screen
using your mouse, or actually use this external board and chess set, picking
up your desired piece and setting it on the desired square. Then, the
program sends the signals to the board and men so that they seem to move on
their own. It's an interesting method of playing electronic chess. Some
stand alone chess machines actually use this magnetic board and men setup as
the method by which you and the machine execute the moves of the game. They
don't work for blind people because the magnets aren't strong enough to keep
the pieces firmly adhered to the board when you touch them as you examine
the board to make your next move.

I've never heard of such a thing. Why would such a thing need to be
hooked into a PC?

What you have found is a stand alone electronic chess opponent. It is a
chess computer. I'm thinking that he is looking for a board that hooks
to
your computer on which the pieces can be moved around, but it does not
actually play a game of chess against you.

Hi,
I said "chessboard", quite because I was refering to a physical
chessboard.
I hurd a long while ago on this list that a digital (physical)
chessboard
is
out there, that has the magnetic places for the pieces, and had also a
software in it that could actually move the pieces, serving as your
oponent,
but, not sure though, it also could record logs and positions when you
were
playing with a human oponent usint it.
Best,

Are you asking about a program on your PC, or are you asking about an
actual physical chessboard?

Hi all,
More than a year ago, even a few years ago, if I remember right,
someone
(I
think it was Charles) wrote about a chessboard that has an AI built
in,
that
is pritty accessible. If I am right, can someone tell me what stage
it
is
in
now, what are the prices, and give me the link to the order and the
description/specs web page? If not the one I am refering to, does
anyone
know about another accessible digital chessboard?
Thanks to all in advance, and best regards!
