Tinplate6 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Ninoi, very interesting piece, obviously high quality, and probably pricey when it debuted. All the pieces being metal, and hand painted, additionally, the special wood case and board. Do you have any idea who the figures represent, or are they all simply inspirational space race iconographic images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninoi4506 Posted June 16, 2017 Author Share Posted June 16, 2017 Tinplate, as for the meaning of the pieces, we can say with certainty: Pawns are cosmonauts Rook - Kremlin tower with a star Knight - a rocket The Queen - Venus (the ancient Roman goddess) The King is Mars (the ancient Roman god). Pay attention to his sword!) Bishop is probably a scientist from the rocket industry. Besides the figures, I like the surface design of the board, in my opinion it's so beautiful!
