What will you do when a knight needs to jump over a row of pawns?

As for advice, I'd look into implementing an xy table with an electromagnet. You can find many open designs from the 3d printer world. You will probably want hard limit switches at the end of each axis for alignment.

My plan was to space the pieces out so I could move the Knight down the lines between the pieces. Inelegant, but simple.
