Hi all, I'm in the process of makeing my own bug chess set hoping it will incourage younger people to take up playing chess and make to more interesting for younger people to play. The pieces will be constructed to represent bugs with the most powerful and deadliest bugs being the higher ranked pieces and so on. The set will then come with lots of interesting facts about the bugs and why they were selected to have the status of the chess piece they will represent. Here's my set for a example KING: ELEPHANT BEETLE: due to its lack of movement but phenomenal power. QUEEN: GOLIATH TARANTULA: due to being agile, strong with explicit speed. BISHOPS: GIANT ASIAN MANTIS: Swift, agile killer. KNIGHTS: GIANT HORNET: able to move over other pieces and deadly. CASTLES: DEATHSTALKER SCORPION: fast and agile. PAWNS: BULLET ANTS: on there own not much chance in a fight but strength in numbers.
Let me known what you think and what your bug set would be? Or any changes you would make to the pieces and why. Thanks in advance, David
