Best Seller
Chess as it was meant to be played — on a board that moves for you.
Your pieces move on their own. Beneath the surface lies a silent magnetic robotic mechanism that responds to your commands through the Phantom app — gliding pieces into position as you play online against Chess.com or Lichess opponents, or face someone sitting across from you. This is no ordinary chessboard. It's one of the few objects in the world that makes people stop mid-conversation to stare.

The Board
The 21" × 21" board features a rich dark walnut veneer frame with smooth maple inlays. A new hidden magnet design removes all visible hardware, deepening the illusion of autonomous movement. Paired with a traditional Staunton-style set crafted from dark walnut and light birch, finished in satin matte, each piece offers a classic yet elevated feel.
Dark walnut's natural grain means no two boards are identical. Yours is one of a kind.
The Stand
The included Phantom Stand transforms your board into a proper chess table. Crafted from solid black-tinted wood, it raises the Phantom to an ideal playing height of 24.4" (62cm), with 22" (56cm) of leg clearance for comfortable seated play. Built for long games and lingering conversations.
Play Anywhere, Against Anyone
Battery-powered and wireless. Connect to the Phantom App for local play, online matches, or games against AI. Whether it lives in a home office, a study, or a living room, it commands the room.
