PHANTOM
THE FUTURE OF CHESS
Watch
the pieces
move
themselves.
A robotic chessboard handcrafted from real wood. Play against AI, challenge anyone on Chess.com, or replay historic grandmaster games — all on a board that moves on its own.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Not a toy.
A masterpiece.
Solid Wood Pieces
CNC-milled, then hand-finished. Sapele, Maple, Walnut, Birch. Each piece carries the weight and feel of an antique Staunton set. Because nothing compares to wood in your hand.
Stockfish & Maia AI
Train against tournament-level AI or Maia's human-mimicking engine. Both auto-adjust to your level. The board executes every move physically — it's a sparring partner you can touch.
Speed Variation
Full battery-powered operation. No tangled cables on your desk. Adjust piece movement speed — from dramatic slow classical to rapid blitz — all in the Phantom app.
Hidden Mechanism
Zero exposed circuits, no sensors on the surface. A silent magnetic system lives beneath the wood. When a piece moves on its own, it looks like pure magic.
Replay Historic Games
Watch Fischer vs. Spassky 1972 unfold on your board. Relive Carlsen's immortal games piece by piece. History has never been this tactile.
Chess.com & Lichess
Your Elo, your friends, your puzzles — synced to your physical board. Play anyone in the world and watch the board respond in real time. No WiFi required for offline AI.
HOW IT WORKS
Three steps to extraordinary.
I
App Connection
Download the Phantom App. Link your Chess.com or Lichess account, or play locally. Setup takes under 3 minutes.
II
Make Your Move
Move a piece by hand on the board; the board instantly registers your move via magnetic sensors and sends it to the app.
III
Watch the Magic
Your opponent's piece glides silently across the board on its own. Every game, every match, every historic replay — brought to life.
CRAFTSMANSHIP UP CLOSE
Every detail intentional.
From the grain of the wood to the hidden steel mechanism beneath the surface, Phantom is built for those who notice the difference.
