Traditional chess pieces are replaced with brass weights. Each weight is calibrated to reflect the importance of the chess piece it represents. Throughout the game, players are able to literally ‘weigh up the competition’, through the use of the scales, which shows the current state of play and offers a unique interpretation of the game.
