#CHESS PLUS PLUS#
The solution created beautiful pieces designed with a minimalist feel and a tasteful sense of style. Chess Plus Summer Camp features engaging chess activities for 1st to 8th graders in our morning session and a more physical program in our afternoon. Chessplus pieces had to be visually engaging in any combination and standalone. This needed to be achieved with one hand and preserve the stability of pieces. Merged pieces had to be joined so that they could be securely picked up or moved around the board in all modes of play. The pieces needed to merge and separate during play.

The challenge was to design an intuitive game combining the aesthetics and performance of traditional chess with the added features and functionality of Chessplus.
