In today’s screen-obsessed world, there’s something calming about sitting down and moving pieces around an old-fashioned board game.
Yet for those who enjoy a competitive game of chess, finding a similarly skilled opponent willing to meet up to play in-person can be difficult, especially when thousands of players are ready to compete at a moment’s notice online.
Thanks to Square Off, a smart chess board that magnetically moves your online or artificial opponent’s pieces around the board, aspiring grandmasters can get the best of both worlds. Kickstarter backers can reserve the rosewood set with a $200 pledge.
