When playing a casual game of chess
over several days, finding a place to leave the board displayed and
accessible can often be a challenge.
Straight Up Chess has found a way to
combine beauty and functionality with exquisitely framed chess boards
that hang on the wall. Clear acrylic shelving holds the chess pieces,
much like a high end demonstration board.
Customers “build” their boards by
choosing from an array of fine woods such as cherry, walnut and black
maple, and adding a frame such as antique bronze or black flake. They
can use their own pieces or choose from the excellent assortment
provided.
Time clocks are not an issue when you
play on a Straight Up Chess Board. As you pass by you make your move,
mark it with the “last move” marker and continue on your way.
Later, your opponent passes by, makes their move and marks it as
“last move”. Playing vertically can be a bit of a challenge in
the beginning, but it only takes 5 or 6 moves to get used to the new
angles.
The Straight Up Chess Boards can be
used effectively at home, the office or even at school, providing
both eye-catching art and a fun distraction during the day.
