This set offers a refreshing twist on the most classic game ever conceived. The taxi cab pawns, “Big Apple” rooks, Wall Street and Broadway street sign knights, World Trade Center bishops, Statue of Liberty queen and Empire State Building king really put you in a New York state of mind. The board is in classic black and white and folds in half for easy storage. This is a great novelty item for the New Yorker and is well built enough for the avid chess fan.
