Chess evolution or fad ?

@Philidor_Legacy thanks for the link. At first I thought this was a prank. I was expecting to see somebody under the table with a magnet. I agree , I'm not to sure about this either. If both players have got smartphones and can both move their own pieces on their own board why bother buying this. I think the only way this would possibly catch on was if it was inexpensive to buy of which I suspect not. So they must be producing this with the west in mind as I can't see poorer continents being able to afford it. With that in mind , I'm out.

A traditional answer is you could just move the piece yourself via a message : D
