Straight Up Chess

Straight Up Chess makes chess boards that fit today’s life style. The vertical wall mounted board is one part game, one part wall decor. The chess board’s tiles become the back drop to pieces that sit on acrylic shelves. A decorative frame turns it into an art piece, to be played until you’re ready for the next match up.
