融入地标建筑的纽约国际象棋
Architectural Landmarks of New York City Featured in New Chess Set by Skyline Chess

纽约建筑主题的国际象棋是由非常喜欢战略游戏的建筑师设计的。设计师Ian Flood和Chris Prosser采用了塑造纽约市天际线的著名建筑的剪影，而不是国王，女王，骑士，主教，车和小卒这些传统的形式设计。

The New York architecture-themed chess set by UK-based start-up Skyline Chess is a sight to behold for architects who are fans of the long-living strategy game. Instead of the traditional forms for the king, queen, knights, bishops, rooks, and pawns, designers Ian Flood and Chris Prosser used the silhouettes of famous buildings that shape the skyline of New York City.

设计师比较了著名的纽约市建筑物与原始棋子的比例，选择出每个棋子最具代表性的建筑物。然后将选择的建筑物通过手绘绘制，再运用CAD完成设计。最后，将设计制作成型，在其内部留有一个用于平衡的金属重量芯的空腔。

The designers compared the proportions of famous NYC buildings to the original chess pieces in order to choose the buildings which shall best represent each piece. The chosen buildings were adapted into pieces by hand-drawing them, then finalizing their designs using CAD. Finally, the pieces were injection molded, leaving a cavity inside to be filled with metal weight core for balance.

在这副国际象棋中，代表国王的建筑物是国际世界贸易中心，皇后是帝国大厦，主教是克莱斯勒大楼，骑士是熨斗大楼，罗湖的古根海姆博物馆是车，而布朗斯顿房屋作为小卒。

The buildings featured in the chess set are the One World Trade Center as the King, the Empire State Building as the Queen, the Chrysler Building as the Bishop, the Flatiron Building as the Knight, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as the Rook, and Brownstone Houses as Pawns.

以纽约为主题的国际象棋不是首个城市主题的国际象棋。 他们已经设计了一组伦敦系列，包括碎片，小黄瓜，伦敦眼和大本钟。 您也可以在这里找到设计师Kickstarter，了解相关活动的更多细节。

The New York-themed chess set is not the start-up’s first city-themed chess set. They have already designed a London themed set, featuring the Shard, the Gherkin, London Eye, and the Big Ben. You may find more details on the designer’s Kickstarter campaign here.
