Collectible chess set "Hockey - Avangard" on an oak board

This set is an expressive fusion of athletic passion and sophisticated collectible aesthetics, reflecting respect for the Avangard hockey team. Each figure is the result of filigree work: the silhouette of a hockey player, hand—cast from zinc alloy, painted with attention to the smallest details. The image of each player conveys the spirit of the team not through names, but through a generalized but recognizable silhouette — restrained, dignified and executed with exceptional precision. The lack of personalization emphasizes the equal value of all participants, excluding hierarchy within the composition.

Stands made of rare woods emphasize the respectability of the object and carefully protect the surface of the board. Miniature symbols placed on both sides of each base make it easy to determine whether the pieces belong to chess roles. Laconic logos replace inscriptions, forming an elegant visual navigation system. Every detail is thought out with meticulous precision: from the bend of the hockey stick to the individual velvet mesh that protects the figure when closed.

The playing field, hand-assembled from alternating squares of maple and walnut veneer, is enclosed in an array of black oak and decorated in a 47 by 47 cm format. The edges are marked with traditional alphanumeric indexing. The interior of the board is hidden by a padded base with personal compartments for each piece. This collection is aimed at those who are able to read in a chess game not just a tactical confrontation, but a metaphor of team spirit, intellectual skill and impeccable taste.
