Cool project!

Could a hefty reverse magnetic pulse launch captured pieces off the board? And maybe with some precision by controlling the offset and power?

Battle Chess 2024: more exciting than the original. The human player has to dodge the assault of their electronic opponent!

Sometimes an interesting idea is best left unimplemented.

Man, I remember playing Battle Chess back in the late ’80s. We’d go out of our way to see what all the different piece vs piece conquests looked like. I’d love to have that on the iPad for my chess-addicted son.
I was thinking shooting the piece into a basket or something, but aiming for the player's forehead sounds fun.
