Description

Chess Box is a puzzle designed and created by Benno de Grote, who is the copyright owner. Produced in a limited number of copies, it is now discontinued and no longer available.
This is a 3D-printed copy made under license, created with four different versions of PLA Wood: Walnut, Maple, Cherry, Rosewood, and robust PETG for the internal mechanisms.
To solve the puzzle, you must open it and find the King and the Queen hidden inside. To avoid spoilers, I will not include photos of the open puzzle.

This is the original page on Benno's website dedicated to Chess Box. WARNING: The solution is at the bottom of the page!

Inelegant Fake, by Haym Hirsh

It all began in 1978. Dean Hoffman designed his Packing Puzzle, a cube made up of 27 identical pieces. But it was different from the usual; it was imperfect, because its volume was smaller than that of the box it was contained in. Despite its six completely parallel faces, it contained empty spaces. This cube had 21 valid solutions.The brilliant Haym Hirsh drew inspiration from this cube. He began by designing the Hoffman Jr. puzzle (Inelegant 5x5) and continued the series with Inelegant Soma, I...

Golden Pot, by Yavuz Demirhan

An ancient Irish legend tells of a pot full of gold at the end of the rainbow. This legend inspired this beautiful puzzle, made with PLA Wood in four different colors, and PLA Silk Gold for the gold bars.The rainbow dives into the pot, just to be a little inconvenient. The puzzle requires all the gold bars to be inserted into the pot without overhanging the edge.Dimensions: approximately 85 x 60 x 65 mm.“Golden Pot” is produced and sold under license from Yavuz Demirhan (https://www.puzzlehu...

Begonia, by Yavuz Demirhan

Begonia is a very unique packing puzzle.First of all, the container is open at one corner and therefore incomplete, and the pieces will "paper" the inside walls, rather than forming the usual cube we often see in other packing puzzles.To complete it, you need to get to the point you see in the first photo (somewhat edited to prevent it from helping you solve it!).Dimensions: 72 x 72 x 72 mm.“Begonia” is produced and sold under license from Yavuz Demirhan (https://www.puzzlehub.org/puzzles/y...
