A team of designers in the US, called Wonder Substance, has developed a robotic chess set made of real wood with pieces that are able to move on their own.

While online chess lets you play against and learn from people around the world, it isn't always as fun as playing with a real board.

Wonder Substance's chessboard, Phantom, lets you play online while still giving you the experience of a real-life game. Phantom users can play against anyone else in the world, with their opponent either using an app or another Phantom board.

The Phantom board is made with sensors that tell the board where the chess pieces are. When your opponent moves a piece, the same piece will move on your Phantom board. And of course, if they're playing with a board instead of an app, your moves will happen on their board too.

If you don't want to use your hands, you can also just tell the board which piece to move and it will do it for you.

For players who want to learn from famous games, the chessboard can play through over 100 famous chess matches for you to watch. And you can also play games against a chess program called Maia.

Phantom isn't for sale in stores yet, but it's expected to cost at least $720. The developers have started a Kickstarter, and while they had hoped to get just $6,000, they have already raised more than $1.8 million.

Summary
有款西洋棋盤叫做「魅影」，能讓你在線上玩，同時帶來現實生活中的遊戲體驗。魅影棋盤配有感測器，能夠告訴棋盤棋子下在哪裡。 當你的對手移動棋子時，你的幻影棋盤上的同一顆棋子也會移動。那些想要從知名棋局學習的玩家，棋盤可以演練100多場知名西洋棋比賽供您觀看。 你也可以跟西洋棋程式Maia來對戰。
