Bring the spirit of New York City to your coffee table with Chess NYC, a special-edition chess set created in celebration of The New Yorker’s 100th anniversary. Illustrated by renowned artist and recurring New Yorker contributor Christoph Niemann, this playful set transforms the city’s most recognizable characters and landmarks into a one-of-a-kind chess experience.
Each wooden chess piece represents a different part of New York life. The Statue of Liberty takes her place as the Queen, pigeons swoop in as Knights, and iconic yellow cabs become Pawns, creating a clever tribute to the energy and personality of the city that never sleeps.
Featuring a classic black and white color palette, the set brings together traditional strategy and distinctly New York design. Whether you're playing a match or displaying it as a conversation-starting coffee table piece, Chess NYC is a stylish celebration of the city.
