Basically, this is a set of headphones, earplugs or similar that not only blot out all background noise, but record whispered moves (ie D2-D4) as the game progresses. An intelligent processor in the computer works out where the game left off, and can speak back the exact position of every piece once you resume play. It could also have a vs computer mode, where you can play against it instead of yourself. The mic would have to be located close to the mouth to pick up whispers without recording background noise, and mistaking it for a move. It would also be very useful for when you completely forget where a certain piece is - instead of starting over, you could select that piece's icon (there could be a sort of screen-thing) and the computer reads it back to you.
