The Pentagram-designed set that defines elite play worldwide — walnut and maple, the pieces every serious player recognizes — has been hand-painted, hand-engraved, and rebuilt as something you'd put behind glass.

Through hand-painted details and delicate engraving, this walnut and maple piece reveals the surreal landscape of Сhessity, where thought takes shape. From pawn to king, each inhabitant is a miniature mind with its own name, personality, and life mission. Centuries-old rules govern the town, balancing logic with diverse perspectives in the spirit of fair play. The work is dedicated to the World Chess Championship 2026, offering a bold perspective on the timeless game. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe set combines the official World Chess Championship pieces with Yoom's signature biomorphic surrealism: acrylic paint, delicate engraving, a 44×44 cm veneered board, and a custom ashwood cabinet with removable lid and storage drawer — designed to move between play and display without ceremony.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the first chapter of a longer collaboration between World Chess and Yoomoota.
