20 years ago there was a chess computer called the Phantom that moved it's pieces magnetically, then set the board up after a game, looking like a ghost was shifting everything around. It only lasted a few years, but they've just brought back a new model.

Reminds me of that early "Mephisto"...where some midget sat underneath the table and moved the pieces
