In 2017, I purchased these pieces featuring drilled holes and finished in the timeless 'Mordovian Red' color from Chessbazaar—a hue especially favored for hobbyist pieces in the Grandmaster style during the 1960s and 1970s in the USSR.
Initially, I experimented with the adaptation for DGT eboards, which was relatively easy since the coils for piece recognition are separately available.
Later, due to the absence of LEDs and insufficient online support, I parted ways with my DGT equipment.
In my opinion, the pieces aesthetically complemented the Wenge board the best. When Millennium introduced the Phoenix with the dark T55, the decision was clear.
Concerning the RFID chips, I reached out to Thomas Karkosch from Millennium, but unfortunately, they were unwilling to sell me chips. So my only option was to acquire replacement pieces for the Millennium Exclusive and extract the chips
I'm thrilled with the results after the modification. Feel free to give me feedback.
Best regards
Harry
