Random idea I just had, I think it would be neat if there was a more futuristic + expensive version of the chess board that has, like, holographic pieces and can be played long-range with something like a shared 4-digit password each player enters in their board to join the game from wherever.
We're 85 years in the future and still using physical pieces and have to meet in person to play, that's analog as hell.
(also can we get stationary chess boards in the Green Park?)
