Yep, I reckon so!

We spotted it on hackaday around a week ago - meaning to give it a whirl :-)

It would be even better if it took dxf as well but can't have everything :-)

I gave it a go with the Ninja Chess parts, but I think they were overly complex and it kind of broke. I do want to give it another go soon.

I'd advise anyone thinking of doing serious work with it to have a look though the issue tracker first.

There are a couple of notable problems that make this (in my eyes) a really good proof of concept yet still requiring a lot more work to end up with a really good tool.
