I am looking to find a recording of the movements of the chess pieces on the wood.
Can anybody help me on that?

Thanx in advance

wooden board right? and what are the peices made of?

you know, this one would be easy to fake. anyone with a microphone could come up with something believable.

is this for a film?

If you go to playchess.com and download their free software you can play games for free as a guest - they play the wooden sound each time a move is made. More importantly, at the start of your first game they "set the pieces up" - its several seconds of wooden pieces clacking on the board. You could try other chess servers and the various client software too. Hope this helps.

That's probably against copyright law though...
You'd be safer just making them with real chess peices like coma8coma1 said.
Even a really basic microphone should give you a good enough sound.

okay, the board's wood. we established that. now what are the pieces? i might take a wooden cutting baord from the kitchen and record the sound of placing various figurines on it. i have resin, ceramic, glass, wood, you name it.

i just need to know what the chess peices are made of.

record them all if you can mate, then others may benefit!

I am a chess player, and can probably do the pounding of the pieces, as well as the punching of the chess clocks. I'll give it a whirl.
