Game of Intuition: A Unique Chess Set Designed by Mohammad Mahdy Seyfi and Hesamaldin Ghasimi

Chess Set Inspired by the Philosophy of Intuition

Inspired by the philosophy of intuition, the Game of Intuition is a unique chess set designed by Mohammad Mahdy Seyfi and Hesamaldin Ghasimi. This chess set reimagines the traditional game by infusing it with a deep sense of logic, elegance, and power.

The Game of Intuition chess set stands out from others due to its distinctive design and attention to detail. Each chess piece is shaped to reflect its character and role in the game. The rook, for example, embodies pure logic with its cube-like form, in stark contrast to the bishop, which exudes an air of mystery and the expectation of miracles.

The knight, on the other hand, rebels against convention with its unique shape inspired by the rebellion of a horse. The king, as the reason for the game, is designed to exaggerate both logic and beauty. The queen, derived from elegance and power, commands attention with its regal form. Lastly, the pawn, always ready for battle, is represented by the fluidity of a sphere.

The Game of Intuition chess set is not only visually striking but also meticulously crafted. The 16 pieces are made using the metal casting method, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish. The king and queen pieces stand at an impressive height of 80 mm, while the rook measures 40 mm in height. The bishop and knight are almost 50 mm tall, and the pawn has a diameter of 30 mm. The chessboard itself measures 3600 cm square with a height of 10 mm, providing a sturdy and stable playing surface. All chess pieces feature an anodized finish, adding a touch of sophistication to the overall design.

Designed by Mohammad Mahdy Seyfi and Hesamaldin Ghasimi, the Game of Intuition chess set is a result of two years of dedicated work in Tehran. The designers aimed to create a chess set that not only challenged existing portfolios but also provided users with a genuine sense of the true nature and function of chess pieces. The game follows traditional chess rules, allowing players to engage in strategic battles of intellect and intuition.

The Game of Intuition chess set has garnered recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Toys, Games, and Hobby Products category in 2017. This prestigious award celebrates designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving the quality of life. The Game of Intuition chess set exemplifies these qualities, making it a must-have for chess enthusiasts and design aficionados alike.
