About Adi Chess Set Collection
Short Story
This chess pieces are integrating some of my sculpture design (Pawn) and also work inspired from current published designs from https://www.thingiverse.com (licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution CC BY license) and the Study for Equestrian statue of Christian IX which stands overlooking Christiansborg Ridebane on Slotsholmen in Copenhagen by Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (licensed PDM Allowed) with my contribution design modifications to fit to the overall ecosystem.
Design
The 3D chessboard designs is not typically attributed to a single designer like traditional chess boards. Instead, several individuals and variations have contributed to the concept and design of 3D chess.
The one used in this complete chess set has the shapes sizes following my own design vision.
The development of there chess pieces did follow numerous steps to enable the pieces to replicate the intricate characteristics of the original sculptures. CAD drawings were then made from the originals and create 3D printed models.
Pawn
Special distinctive figure
- The Pawn, while not highly valued in the chess hierarchy, plays a significant role. It serves as the entry point into the battlefield. Noticeable, is the head disproportion comparing the royalty figures, indicating the strategic mindset power he is possessing. The design incorporates both modern human attributes and Artificial Intelligence elements, intentionally expressed through a composition that features old technology components to emphasize the current level of the AI technology maturity, but also indication of the author belonging to the generation X (Gen X).
Knight
Special distinctive figure
- The Knight in this chess set is depicted as a protector, standing guard over the other pieces and defending them from harm. Unlike the standard orientation, he is facing the rook which symbolizes strength, stability, and protection. Originally, in the game of chaturanga, the rook represented a chariot or war cart, reflecting its powerful and direct movement. From India, chaturanga spread to Persia, then the Arab world, and eventually Europe, where it evolved into the modern game we know today.
