M & B Phantom Chess set - 2007/06/04 13:42 Just found a box in my garage. Phantom Computer Chess. I remember buying it in South Kensington on or about the date that BIBA opened!!! 1983/4 perhaps Complete with original power supply (someone asked about this - did they get a reply?) but no chess pieces. I understand the pieces to have magnetic bases. Can I still purchase them, or perhaps make up or get some made up for me? Please help if you can; if it can be made to work it will be put on display in our used book warehouse. As I recollect it used to gather crowds when placed in a shop window and charged with playing against itself. Thanks for reading this and thanks again if you can help or will pass it on to anyone who can. Derek Belton Bristol area

M & B Phantom Chess set - 2007/06/05 21:44 Hi Derek, welcome here and I hope you will enjoy this forum

I don't think you could actually really still acquire the chess pieces anymore. The company went out of business long ago and people owning such games will probably need the pieces themselves

To have them built for you seems also like a needle in a haystack, because of their specific specifications.

But, I wish you luck - who knows someone that lost his game but not his pieces will read this
