AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Artisanal Bauhaus Design Chess.
This type of chess is inspired by industrial design. Its beauty does not lie in ornamentation but in geometric purity and absolute functionality. It is a design that seeks symmetry and balance.
The genius of the design lies in the fact that the shape of each piece visually indicates how it moves on the board. You don’t need to memorize complex rules based on appearance; the object itself tells you what it does:
The Pawn: It is a small cube. It represents the simplest and most basic move in the game: a single step forward.
The Rook: It is a larger, sturdier cube. It symbolizes its straight-line moves (forward, backward, and sideways) along the orthogonal axes.
The Knight: It is formed by two blocks in an L shape. Its geometric silhouette reproduces exactly its characteristic L-shaped leap across the board.
The Bishop: It is composed of a cube cut diagonally in an X shape. This visually reflects its ability to move only along the diagonals of the board.
It is handcrafted in natural solid wood, with the playing area lacquered. Quite large, with king dimensions of 7.5 cm and pawn of 4.5 cm. The board, which opens with a central drawer to store the pieces, has dimensions of 43 cm wide and 9 cm tall.
It is in PERFECT CONDITION. The chess set is new. Never used.
It will be shipped in appropriate packaging to protect it during transport. With a tracking number.
