This 2.7-inch boxwood chess set delivers the iconic 1966 F. Lanier Graham abstract design in a fully interlocking format that folds 32 pieces into a compact rectangular block.
Visual artist F. Lanier Graham engineered each figure to mirror its legal board movement through pure geometry. Knights feature smooth L-cuts, bishops taper diagonally, and rooks stand as solid rectangles. Heights scale downward to indicate relative power, starting with the 2.7-inch (69 mm) King. When you step away from the match, the complete set nestles together seamlessly, functioning as a desktop puzzle.
The pieces are machined from dense hardwood. Light figures remain in their natural boxwood tone while dark figures are ebonised for immediate contrast. Every base registers exactly 0.8 inches (20 mm) across, requiring a standard 1.57-inch (40 mm) square board for proper alignment. Total mass rests at 306 grams. This package contains all 32 playing figures only; a board is not included.
This stock carries officially licensed reproduction models designated as slightly imperfect. Buyers may notice minimal color variation between production runs or faint professional touch-ups on select surfaces, but structural integrity and gameplay balance remain uncompromised. These sets ship ready for direct use.
