NOBLE
CELTS CHESS
Dream Green is proud to bring
you Noble Celts Chess Collectible by
award-winning game inventor and artist, Don
Green.
Noble Celts is a richly
decorated Celton-Saxon styled
circular
chess
game.
Chess
was played
on a
circular designed
board centuries ago but this version mostly disappeared during
the Dark Ages. Only in recent years has this form of chess
been rediscovered and this design combines beautiful artistry
with
dynamic play. Although the chess pieces still move as in European
Chess
and those chess rules apply, the lack of side edges on the
Noble Board makes this variant a vibrant way of playing an
ancient game.
The board is faux leather measuring approximately 26 x 26 inches.
The abstract animal and interlocking braided cord designs of Northern
Britain and Ireland
harmonize beautifully and are complemented with exquisite chess
pieces from an original set hand carved by Don Green. Numerous
references to the development and history of chess and the pieces
are included. The chess pieces are cast resin.
Whether you're a chess enthusiast or a novice, Noble Celts is
an interesting twist on a classic game which will keep you entertained
for hours!
