A technologically advanced chessboard that automates piece movement, allowing users to play against an AI or online opponents on a physical board, creating an immersive and magical gameplay experience.
The Smart Automated Chess Board brings the classic game to life by blending traditional gameplay with modern technology. This project is an embedded control system that physically moves chess pieces across the board, allowing you to play against a computer opponent or an online player as if they were in the room with you. The system precisely controls actuators beneath the board to guide the pieces to their new squares, creating a magical and engaging user experience. The board is more than just a robotic player; it's a complete chess ecosystem. It features robust game state tracking, which accurately records every move made during a match. This functionality allows for the storage and replay of entire games, making it a powerful tool for analysis and learning. Furthermore, the board integrates with the popular online platform LiChess via its API, enabling you to challenge players from around the world while still enjoying the tactile feel of a physical board. At the heart of the system is an intuitive user interface that makes it easy to navigate menus, select game modes, and configure settings. The integration of AI-driven chess engines allows the board to provide a challenging opponent for players of all skill levels, translating complex computer-generated moves into precise hardware actions. Sensor-based piece detection ensures the board can validate moves and maintain an accurate representation of the game state at all times, creating a seamless and immersive chess-playing experience.
