The New Yorkerin satavuotisjuhlan kunniaksi olemme yhdistäneet voimamme ikonisen lehden kanssa tuodaksemme sinulle uudelleen kuvitellun shakkisarjan, joka vangitsee New Yorkin todellisen hengen.

Tässä erikoispainoksessa kaupungin maamerkit toimivat shakkinappuloina – aina valppaasta Vapaudenpatsaasta kuningattarena, kyyhkysistä ratsuina ja keltaisista takseista sotilaina. Jokainen nappula edustaa osaa New Yorkin elinvoimaisesta luonteesta luoden leikkisän kunnianosoituksen kaupungille, joka ei koskaan nuku. Shakkisarjan on kuvittanut Christoph Niemann, joka on säännöllinen avustaja The New Yorkerissa.

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.
