The completed chess set. From left to right, the pieces are the pawn, the bishop, the knight, the

rook, the queen, and the king. Actually, the pawn shown in the photo is an older version that did

not have the long flaps tucked inside the model. The premise behind this series of chess pieces

was to design a chess set that (a) could be folded from the same sized squares, (b) were 3D, and

pawn, the bishop, and the queen. The king caused me all sorts of problems, and Im actually still

not happy with its look. The rook came almost as an afterthought.
