Well there was a site in German where someone had made a chess board with an arduino and a MAX6954 chip, but when I checked it now it seems to have changed and there is no mention of the chip on that page. That site put me onto this chip in the first place. I have some samples but have not used them in a project yet. The page used to be at:-
Computer Schach
Wow, that's one hell of a post..
Grumpy_Mike:
Google showed this:-
Communicating with the MAX 6954 over an SPI bus using an ATMEGA328P. ยท GitHub
Yes found that as well, and got me thinking it could work. I really haven't been through the code line by line yet, but will go over it and take out what I don't need. Maybe I can get something happening.

Then there is an unresolved thread on this forum.
Read that one as well, wondering why they stopped working on it...
I think I may pursue this a little harder and see what I can come up with. Maybe make a library to support it.
