The Module

Very nice board- I love the hoses and other greebling on the surface! The trans blue works very well for black squares. The interior is well done as well, and the railings are great.

   The Chess Pieces

While the pieces look nice, I can’t imagine trying to actually play with them. The kings, queens, and pawns are fairly easy to identify. However, the other pieces all look way too similar to each other, with no logical connection to traditional chess icons. I can’t think of a good way to do it if you want to have them correspond to official Lego designs, though.
