Steal This Deal! The Sisi set was inspired by the figure of Elisabeth (Sisi)the famous queen of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. She is often referred to as the queen of Hungariansas Elisabeth had tender feelings for both the Hungarian people and language. The patterns of the pieces were also decorated with traditional Hungarian motifs. With this classic setthe hope is to revive the memory of a major ruler. The pieces are easy to grab and move and there is a flexible insert marker that indicates the moves.The idea and inspiration to make this wall mounted chess board came from the week-long chess games one of our team members used to have with his father. They would play on a regular board which they placed on a small table in the entrance hall of their house and they would take their turns as they passed by board. So the messenger way of playing was already created thenbut when the family bought a dog the dog seemed to be very much interested in the game too - every now and then he would steal some figures or knock the board off the table. This is why the regular chessboard had to be modified a little bit.Want to see more?
