Description

PLEASE NOTE: Since originally posting this model I have obtained permission from the original author of the chess pieces I used in the pictures on this model to post a remix. Rather then add them to this one, which is flagged as a remix of a different model I have made a whole new post here. This model will not be receiving any further updates. I liked the concept on the original model, however, the board was not checkered in the correct pattern; in chess, the square closest to the player's lower right (spaces A8 and H1) should always be white. Also, my magnets did not fit the existing model and I could not get a clean enough import to edit so I used a different chess pieces set (the chess pieces do not allow remixes so I can't post them, at least not yet, I am going to message the model author and see if they will give me permission to post). I also designed my own tweezers, this was again due to my magnets not fitting the pockets on the existing model. For the Tweezers, I used these magnets from Amazon; however, I am only posting them because I know they work. The seller/manufacturer has astoundingly bad customer service, the magnets are smaller then described, but this set was made as a gift and I had no choice but to work with those magnets since I didn't have time to get different ones. If I obtain permission to post the chess pieces, I will likely first get different magnets and adjust the models to them before posting.
