I play a lot of board games, and while chess isn’t at the top of my rotation, I still appreciate a nice set. This little set by akunthita looks like the perfect thing to bring on a flight or road trip to a Lego convention.
I think its the presence of drawers to store the pieces that really makes this thing for me. The pieces are expressive enough to get the point across, especially given their small dimensions. Of course, with a Lego chess set, there’s no risk of the pieces falling over when you hit a bump.
I believe you already blogged this a while back:

Well crap. Apparently I didn’t look far enough back into the past to see if anyone else had covered this. I thought it was a newer photo than April 6th.
Don’t you just love it when that happens :-)
