Knight on Skis – Geneva 2026 Enamel Pin

Chess used to be a game of pins. Every tournament had its badge, every club its enamel; a jacket lapel told you where a player had been. Then the badges went away, and with them a small, physical way of belonging to the game. World Chess is bringing them back: one pin for every match, made for that match and never again.

The first is for Geneva 2026, the youngest World Championship match ever to decide the oldest title in sports. A black knight in a red Swiss hat, on red skis, mid-run. Hard enamel in a polished gold-plated outline, on a black Geneva backing card with the match line printed on it. Designed and produced in the UK.

Limited edition of 50

Fifty pins, made in one run for the Geneva match. When they are gone, they are gone: no reprint, no second colourway, no “back by popular demand”. Each comes carded and sealed, the way a pin should.

Details

The set

Three pins were made for Geneva: this Knight on Skis, the Confrontation Pawn, and the Swiss Chocolate. They sit well together on a jacket or a bag, and the wall is not complete without all three.

Who it is for

Anyone who follows the match, anyone who was there, anyone who collects. On a jacket, a bag, a cap, or on the wall next to the pins you already have. It is also the easiest chess gift there is: small, specific, and it will never be in the shop again.
