Tenkai (Flared-top) Vessel, Queen's Gambit

About the Artwork

* This piece is available in other colors. If you send an inquiry, we will introduce you to the colors that are currently available.

The theme of this piece is chess. The cut motifs are the two developments of the Queen's Gambit, a classic opening move, with the accepted and declined positions.

I think this is a piece you would be taken into, tracing the lines to see how they are connected and seeing its overall beauty.

The name of this piece, "Queen's Gambit", is one of the most famous openings in chess.

"Ruy Lopez" is also a famous opening, but as I started learning chess from Queen's Gambit and have a personal attachment to it, I decided to use Queen's Gambit as the motif.

This is a standard opening strategy where you sacrifice a pawn near the queen's position as a gambit, allowing your opponent to capture it first in order to create a favorable position later on.

Gambit is like losing a battle to win a war.
In chess, the strategy of sacrificing pieces to gain an advantage is called a “gambit.”
