Abstract
The major findings of this paper are as follows. After completion, it is evident that an Arduino is fully capable of controlling an automated chessboard using a permanent magnet. The MEGA used for this purpose does so by analyzing the incoming Bluetooth signals. A java code is used to design a virtual chess playing program, and the Bluetooth signals are sent through a laptop. The Arduino program uses the concept of “Least Hindrance Path” in order to move and capture the pieces in the board.
