Chess Pieces That Traveled the World
From Himalayan trails to Venetian canals – meet the most traveled chess pieces on Earth.
Some carry a camera. Some – a notebook. At ChessboArt, we carry chess pieces.
But not just any pieces. Our hand-carved, magnetic travelers fit into a backpack, click onto any metal surface, and love the camera like seasoned influencers. They’ve been to every continent, posed under ancient temples, and stood proudly on windy cliffs. Why? Because we believe chess isn’t just for the board – it’s a companion for the journey.
📍 A Piece in Every Corner of the World

📷 Why Chess Figures?
We don’t always take full sets. They're heavy. But figures are compact, elegant, and magnetic. Perfect for photos. Perfect for stories. They're like miniature travel companions with a timeless expression.
Wherever we go, people ask. "What is this?" – It's a queen in Bangkok. It's a rook in Lisbon. It’s a chess piece that’s been further than most humans.
🌍 It’s About More Than Travel
This project isn't just about collecting likes or locations. It's about showing that beauty can be found in details. In the curve of a knight. In the texture of polished walnut wood under morning fog. In a moment of stillness, even in the busiest square.
Each photo in our #ChessboTravel project is a tribute to curiosity, craft, and the universal language of chess.
