Interested in playing chess? Then you might want to look at some other looks of the same game. The previous one featured was the Steve Vigar chess set with a totally new way of portraying the battling pieces. This one is the vacuum tube chess set that works on electricity in which the participating pieces or the vacuum tubes glow [on top] when inserted into the slots provided on the board.

There are icons on top of each piece for identification that glow when placed in the slots. The blue and the red effect respectively depicts the good and the bad just as portrayed in Starwars. This has been created by Paul Fryer and only seven such workmanship exists. It’s called the Chess set for Tesla.
