Chess board is extremely unprecedented unprecedented: designing a sphere and using magnets to control chess pieces

This promises to be a significant change in the "game difficulty".

This is not the first time we have seen a chessboard use magnetic fields to function, but this is one of the most creative ways to play this intellectual sport: a spherical chessboard.

A design student named Ben Myers and his father created a very unique chessboard. He shared the process of creating it on the Instructables page, insisting that he measured, cut only walnut, maple and Jatoba wood, then Ben attached them to 8 circles. Each circle has a large magnet, and once Myers attaches them together, he uses the lathe to connect into a sphere.


Globular chessboard.

Magnets allow users to move pieces on the sphere, even if it is upside down. Myers shared with Make Magazine that he was surprised at the new play when the chessboard became a sphere: 'At first I thought the vehicles would be very dead because this board didn't have any countries going along. But I was very wrong. That is because the statue is much more dangerous. 'The curved surface also allows players to perceive the difficulty being enhanced, because they cannot observe all the pieces at the same time.
