Dave Pickett has designed an amazing new style of chess set by using skeleton keys as pieces. The top of each brass key differentiates it as the chess piece while they share a common key bottom to fit into any slot on the keyhole studded chess board. It looks really good, but I bet it would be nearly impossible to play any sort of speed chess game since it would take a bit of jiggering to get each key in. If you’re playing a slow, strategic, thinking game, then yeah cool design Dave.

[...] Now you can savor victory not once, but two times: when your opponent tosses the set off the board and when you pick it back up with the pieces intact and smugly say “checkmate” and “suck it loser.” Each piece of the board is represented as a skeleton key that fits snugly into a a lock on the board. Theoretically, this should “lock in” your move in more ways than one. The only problem is that is currently only a concept from designer Dave Pickett.
