The brief was to design a chess game. When designing a new chess game people tend to focus to design the chess pieces. I chose to focus on the chessboard, while keeping the same game rules

Gaze Chess is a chess game with a vertical chessboard. This chessboard lets the players see other player is thinking. One player can watch where the other player player is looking, an it can read its next move.
The game keeps the same moves and layout as a classic chess game. The hook shaped pieces hang from the the striped bars. The board can become flat-packed.
The game can be played vertical or horizontal. The pieces were changed after the first prototype so that they can be removed much easily from the bar.
