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!

It's not a particularly difficult puzzle, and is suitable even for beginners.Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 56 mm."Oekanda" is ...

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...
