Phantom: Real automated chessboard to play with remote friends online

The wooden chessboard is fully automated as the pieces move accordingly as your online remote friend move them

Phantom, an exquisitely crafted chess set made from natural wood, takes the game to new heights with its sophisticated technology. While its elegant design captures the traditional essence of chess, the real marvel lies within.

Cutting-Edge Technology

To create the world’s best autonomous chess set, Phantom incorporates an advanced sensor array that detects the exact location of each piece. A fast, silent mechanism moves the pieces smoothly across the board, delivering a magical chess experience like never before.

Global Connectivity

Phantom enables players to engage in real, physical chess games with opponents anywhere in the world. Whether you’re challenging someone on the other side of the globe or reconnecting with a friend or family member you haven’t seen in a year, Phantom brings people together. Moves made by your online opponent appear on your board in real-time, as if they were in the same room. Even without a Phantom board, players can use a smartphone or computer. When both players use Phantom boards, the game becomes a seamless, magical experience with real-time moves reflected on both boards.

Voice Command Integration

Phantom’s innovative design includes responsive voice command capabilities, allowing players to direct their pieces as if by magic. This hands-free feature adds an enchanting element to the game, impressing anyone who witnesses it.

Advanced AI Play

The integration of advanced AI engines breathes new life into the ancient game. Phantom offers the chance to play against Maia, a human-like neural network chess engine designed to mimic human play. Maia adapts to your rank, providing challenging and enjoyable games. Players can also compete against popular engines like Stockfish at various levels and even integrate their own preferred engines.

Phantom stands as a testament to the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology, offering chess enthusiasts an unparalleled gaming experience.
