Electric chess set lights up your day

Benrt Blake, architect, design consultant and competitive chess player has come up with a pretty unique chess set that has never been seen before. This electric chess set will rely on a plethora of plug bases, sockets, bulbs and ceramic elements as its main components. As for the board surface, a mirrored plexi glass board will see action while a white laminate base helps add to the aesthetics of the design. With transparent, colored and clear bulbs being used as typical chess pieces instead of relying on the traditional shape and form, it will definitely take some getting used to before the colors are associated with chess pieces naturally. Having said that, brainiacs shouldn’t have too much trouble adapting to the new color-coded system. A dimmer control is also included to determine the brightness level of the bulbs.
