 Interesting chess piece redesign with its simple geometric designs makes it look very minimalist.

 so no queen? 😜 
 White: left, it will take some practice. I also like this scope beams

 this seems interesting 🤨 
 Best chessboard ever!

the design of the pieces suggests his movements! It is brilliant,
It's much easier for new players to remember the pieces and movements.

Who designed it? 
 I know it would be weird, but a swastika would be a great symbol for the knight because of the way it moves. It's a common symbol in Hinduism too bad it was flipped over and ruined by Nazis. 
 It’s driving me nuts that the pawns aren’t pointing forward. Also the bishops and rooks are the same shape, just turned, which seems problematic 
 Agreed ⚡️ 
 I like the idea of flat, symmetrical graphics, but don't care for the design. The Knight looks more like a Rook, the King and Queen are too similar...🤔

But ATM, I'm too lazy/busy to design a better set...😜🤣

 And to gamify it the first responder gets zapped. 
 Νο. Τhe classic is better imo 
 I like this a lot, though there are issues.
the x could be a + and vice-versa.
king and queen are not that different lookin.
