Piece count estimation:
The board squares each (of 32 black, 32 red) consist of:
- 16 1x4
- 4 2x2
- 4 1x2
I'm not sure about the yellow grid... lots of 1x4, 1x6, 1x8 as well as
some red pieces (unseen on bottom grid level interior).
There are black plates around the bottom edge:
- 16 4x12
- 12 4x8
- 8 4x6
and some blue:
- 6 4x12
- 1 6x14
and 4 large green baseplates (32x32)
A lot of standard size bricks (quick estimates):
Pawn: 6 2x4, 4 1x4, 16 1x2, 4 2x2, 2 2x3, 4 1x1
etc... (I'm too tired to estimate the other pieces)
For the slopes, I had to order 14 Red Roof packs and 10 Black Service
packs (different piece distribution) from S@H.

| (...) I like it (even as a non-chess fan, but I liked the musical). A good use of "lateral" thinking too ;) How many pieces in total do you think? I reakon you should give the table option a go too. A bit more light on the model when you photograph (...) (25 years ago, 10-Nov-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)
