I want to create a smart chess set and board that will illuminate where a piece can move to, what pieces are in danger, and in checkmate. This is a first project and thus will be slow going at first.

Will need to mount these into the chess piece. But it wont distinguish between different peices.http://www.adafruit.com/products/9

Magnet Sensor
Would need to put these in the board to sense the piece. Once again, it wouldn't know which piece, just that a piece was there. http://www.adafruit.com/products/158
