and in real life we can summon plastic bricks to construct anything we desire.

You can for a price.

Couldn't you use VCE to check what kind of piece each was and then specify a movement range?
I think that would be possible.

idea, use movement controls to force certain pieces to move like chess pieces by using multiple commands for the bot to move a certain amount then stop.

This is exactly what my old board did.  Each bot had a value set to it's identity variable.  When I typed "Knight", nothing happens because that wasn't part of the function :P, but when I would type in something like "B3" (location of the piece) then I would type in "C2" (the place where I want it to go to).  If the move was valid, the bot would move there, if not, an error message would appear.  It was very good.

Wow that sounds a lot easier than the way I'm trying to improve mine. I was thinking of highlighting all the places that a piece can move after it is clicked.

Name the spawn.

Name the spawn.

What would I name the spawns?  Pawn_1?  Pawn 1?  Pawn_a?

The system I used would allow for even the most incompetent chess players to be able to play.  They just look for the square by following the grid.  If I used the names of the spawns, then how would the players know what to type in for the commonly misnamed pieces, such as knight/horsey, rook/castle, bishop/clown (I never understood why the kids always called this a clown).  I did name the spawns, it was just that the system for onplayertalk or whatever would be better with a grid system.

I can't play chess, idk how

I like the idea of using bots, but I really dislike how lazily you've approached this. I'm with Seventh on this one, this isn't chess by any means.

Can you give me the brick save file and image?

I want to play with it.
