Detailed Description Chess on Earth

The book teaches through character and landscape: day/night stand in for the two sides, and each piece’s “personality” explains how it moves. That makes Chess on Earth approachable for families exploring chess sets for kids, without sacrificing the logic that underpins real games.

Children can read it as a picture-led tale or open the included board and pieces for hands-on play. Shapes are bold and memorable, making this an intuitive kids chess board experience that rewards curiosity and sparks repeat sessions.

Design provenance

Created by designer Daniel Weil, whose work sits in MoMA (New York) and the V&A (London). Weil’s long relationship with chess includes designing the World Chess Candidates Tournament (2013) and the official World Chess set used by FIDE—credentials that this playful concept channels into a child-friendly format.
