Inspired by the Lewis Carroll classic “Alice through the Looking Glass”, Yasmin Sethi has designed a chess set in which the pieces are opaque cylindrical blocks and hide the identity of the pieces until they are placed on the board. The idea is to show that chess pieces have no intrinsic value and when removed from the board, a pawn and a queen are equal and neither has any value. Embedded within the glass chessboard are LEDs (LightPoints) while the chess pieces are made of clear glass with the shape of a traditional Staunton chess piece enclosed within it.- taken from ODDEE
The Lego chess set is cool too.. and the 3D.
I have this urge to play chess.
