Nothing is worse than playing a long, riveting game of chess and just when it looks like you’re a few moves away from declaring check mate your opponent “accidentally” knocks the board over. That’s like when you’re playing Street Fighter IV championship mode and you’re pwning a noob and his connection “gets lost” before you land your finishing move. Well at least with this chess set that noob can’t get one over on you because the pieces remain “locked” in place. Very cool, but unfortunately just a prototype.
