CHESS SETS
Legend has it that Chess was invented by a Chinese peasant who asked for 2 grains of rice multiplied by 2 per square on the board as his reward… 2 to the power of 64 represents a pile of rice larger than Mt Everest @ p*63, more than 2 billion times as much as the 1st half of the chess board.
​
There’s an Italian proverb that says “At the end of the game the King and the Pawn go back into the same box” …. #reflections!
​
My chess pieces are individually hand made and each piece is unique due to unintended malfunctions that occur when (manually) mixing the raw materials during the production stage. As such, the pieces for both the 75/75 series and the 60/60 series has been named “perfect imperfections”
