Congratulations to @chessplusplay for their win last night at The GOOD DESIGN AWARDS @gooddesignaus @sydneyoperahouse | Chessplus is a game devised by Christian Simpson and bought to life by Industrial Designer Adam Laws.
The inspiration of a young girl playing chess with her dad. Wanting to win, she moved her rook onto a pawn’s square and announced she could now move both pieces together, moving them to the far end of the board she quickly promoted to a queen and beat her dad. Chessplus was born! Chessplus is a faster, more fluid and more dynamic chess game. Merge pieces to combine their strengths creating powerful new forces, then split them when desired. Chessplus has all the strategy and beauty of traditional chess. With an additional measure of speed, excitement and queens, making it perfect for traditional chess players and newcomers alike. #gda2018 #chesspluss #chess #awardwinner
