Para celebrar el centenario de The New Yorker, nos hemos asociado con la icónica revista para ofrecerte un ajedrez reinventado que captura el verdadero espíritu de la ciudad de Nueva York.

Esta edición especial presenta los monumentos de la ciudad como piezas de ajedrez: desde la siempre vigilante Estatua de la Libertad como la Reina, pasando por palomas que vuelan como Caballos, hasta el ajetreo de los taxis amarillos como Peones. Cada pieza representa una parte del vibrante carácter de Nueva York, creando un homenaje lúdico a la ciudad que nunca duerme. El ajedrez está ilustrado por Christoph Niemann, colaborador habitual de The New Yorker.

Ava ★★★★★

The New Yorker's iconic cover art translated onto a chess set is such a clever concept, and the board feels substantial with a nice weight to it. It’s a conversation piece that actually plays well, which is more than I hoped for.

James U. ★★★★★

The illustrations on each square are so uniquely New York—it feels like flipping through a hundred years of the magazine while you play. Even the box itself is a conversation starter, and the pieces have a nice, hefty weight that makes every move satisfying.

Julian ★★★★★

The board has that classic New Yorker cover art woven right into the design, so it feels less like a game and more like a piece of art for the coffee table. Even my non-chess friends keep stopping to admire it while we play.
