Category: Conversatiespellen

Dit schaakspel met strakke lijnen is kenmerkend voor de tijdloze Bauhaus-stijl. De schaakstukken van Josef Hartwig, ontworpen in 1923, hebben vereenvoudigde vormen die, in tegenstelling tot veelgebruikte figuren, symbolen zijn die puur gebaseerd zijn op de functie en vorm van de zet van elk stuk. Kubussen, cilinders en bollen leiden u zet voor zet naar schaakmat.

Ontworpen door Josef Hartwig. Vervaardigd door Naef in Duitsland.

The reduced geometric shapes took a few games to read at a glance, but now I actually prefer them to standard Staunton pieces. The knight is just an L-block and it's somehow easier to spot mid-game.

I've had this on my coffee table for two weeks and guests keep picking up the pieces to figure out how the knight and bishop are actually distinguished — it's a fun little puzzle before anyone even starts playing. The abstract forms take a game or two to get used to, but the board itself looks like

Sophia ★★★★★

The reduced geometric pieces are genuinely beautiful on a shelf, but I mostly love how quickly they read on the board once you learn which block is which. Playing with a set designed in 1923 feels like owning a little piece of design history.
