Hello everyone !
In this post, i will present my first chessboard realization which goes from virtual to real bricks: The Classic
It's my third realization in virtual but my first creation in real. It's start now 3 years old and will end next month (order to be made...)
This chess contain approximately 800 pieces.
Chessboard history:
I started by create the board and then i design the game pieces:

but i was not completely satisfied witch the result (pieces too big / taller for the board) and i thereforce copied as faithfully as i could the "classic" pieces that exist in wood, which gives this:
echec 3.18 by Legron Chess, sur Flickr
And in the chessboard:
echec 3.19 by Legron Chess, sur Flickr
After that, i waited a long time before i decided to realize it which gave me that once i went from 3D to real LEGO bricks :

I stayed that way for almost 3 years and i came across an Yoshihito Isogawa video with magnets...
I had concerns about stability (the slightest shock knocked down all the pieces of game) that i wanted to solve and a small modification of the board (design) to do what fell perfectly !
Follow this modifications, the chessboard looks like this now:
Placement of the magnet in the game pieces (same principle in board):
