If a student knows how to use a chessboard as a calculator, then the student most likely could solve the exam even without the chessboard easily and just wants to impress

If I were a math teacher, I'd 100% allow this calculator because you HAVE to know math to use this calculator. The multiplication technique is literally a representation of polynomial multiplication in action.

The actual techniques you use on this chessboard mirror the same techniques used on 8-bit processors before multiply and divide instructions were added.

What’s real fun is that you can just draw this “board” on any piece of paper and immediately produce a calculator. Add more rows and columns for bigger numbers
