Abstract
Chess is a board game played at a variety of skill levels worldwide. Over 1000 years, chess has always required players to move the pieces manually. Unfortunately, anyone who lacks dexterity in their hands or arms cannot manually move the chess pieces on their own. Consequently, a chess board that can be played without hands or arms must be created to accommodate a broader audience. This is the motivation behind the Automatic Chessboard. This design will allow a player to engage in a dynamic and physical game of chess using only their voice. A 3-axis control system will allow for functionality across the chess board. The location of the pieces will be tracked and managed locally within the control module, allowing for accurate bookkeeping, rule checking, and decision making to take place without additional input from the user.
