What I'm looking for is a "simple" board, simple in the sense that
it shouldn't look technically overloaded and it shouldn't have a
lot of visible cables. Ideally the moves would be recognized by
RFID (or other contactless information transfer to the computer),
and the moves displayed by LEDs (or so). The chess computer should
either be in the board or in a separate device connected without
cables. What I described was basically that it should still look
like a chess board and not like a computer or technical device.
I didn't find something appropriate on the net so I'm asking here.
But maybe there isn't such a thing existing?
Something like this?
Thanks! - I'll have a look...

...it seems I've already looked into that quite some time ago; there
was some drawback, but I don't recall. - Maybe it was the external
plastic device or the necessary cable ("Verbindung Brett-Computer:
Standard Mini-Din-Kabel, 4 polig"). - I'll have a closer look again.
The board would look quite good but if you'd have to have a plastic
device attached while playing that would not exactly be what I'm
looking for.
or this?

...that's new to me; neural technology sounds interesting at least.
I'm not sure from the pictures whether the board material is wood
(which I'd prefer) or just a texture. Mephisto is a name I seem to
recall as having been an outstanding system in the early 1980's.
It's a bit expensive, though. And it also has the cable issue that
the other one had.
...I'll have to see. - Thanks again.
