A very interesting project by Jonathan Good:
https://github.com/bungogood/gambit?tab=readme-ov-file

Gambit Chess is a robotic chess board that employs magnetism for piece movement and movement detection.
It utilizes an electromagnet on an H-Bot mechanism for precise piece manipulation and a reed switch matrix to accurately track piece positions. The core of Gambit is powered by an Arduino Nano ESP32 and is primarily constructed using 3D printing.

Cool stuff !

Odd and not in accordance with the rules: at the beginning, 2 dice are rolled to determine who gets to start.

Very original dice cup !

You not only have to watch your position, but also your fingers !

The only thing missing is that the bot makes the coffee in between...
