Checkmate in the City | American Chess Magazine

Where Chess Meets Architecture

We’re delighted to share that American Chess Magazine has featured Skyline Chess in their latest issue, highlighting our journey from architecture to craftsmanship, and how iconic skylines from around the world have inspired our collections.

In the interview, our co-founder Ian Flood discusses how the idea of transforming cityscapes into chess pieces first came to life, the balance between design and storytelling, and how our bespoke editions continue to celebrate the meeting point between art, architecture, and play.

From museum collections to luxury collaborations, Skyline Chess has always aimed to reimagine the game through design, making each set both a piece to play and a work to admire.
