I am making a chess board with integrated AI for a year 12 school project and I am not sure what kind of components I will need to use to be able to sense what pieces are where at the start of each turn. I was thinking of using RFID but the range is too long I also thought about using smart card chips, but I couldn't find a source for just the identification chips in them.
Any suggestions for what kind of components to use would help or any source for the ID chips.
