Somebody should implement this in the physical form.
Here's an idea:
Strong magnets (or just pieces of strongly ferromagnetic material) would be embedded at the bottom of the chess pieces; the board would use a strong solenoid on each square to fix the piece once it touches down. Alternatively, the bottom of each chess piece could have a hermetic seal ring, and there's a hole at the centre of each square that will create a vacuum to fix the chess piece in place.
The pieces could be (3D printed) in translucent material with an induction circuit with an LED inside. The LED will glow at various intensities to represent the cooldown.
