So, working with Chess House, it was natural that I should eventually wonder about LEGO chess sets. And so began the search to find what sets are out there and available. What I found was amazing–chess sets offered by LEGO, sets made by fans, more sets made by LEGO Star Wars fans, and the list goes on.
Chess by Pieces is a collection of designs that combines two classics, chess and LEGO® bricks, to make the ultimate coffee table chess set for the LEGO® fan in you.You will receive printer-friendly, easy to follow instructions in PDF format.
Introduction: How to Make LEGO Chess Pieces(and Also How the Pieces Move)
If you're a good chess player, you must've played chess a lot before. There are websites like Chesskid or Chess.com, but it's virtual. Why not play chess in real life? Because the pieces can't change. I mean, it gets boring doing the same stuff beating your family over and over again. In my house, we literally have a bunch of useless LEGO pieces. But then I thought of some fun variations you can do with LEGO only! I will teach them to you at the end. Thanks for reading!
Supplies:
A few LEGO pieces. The evil within review.

Step 1: The Pawns
The pawns are the easiest piece in this whole instructable. They are just 2x2 bricks. You will need eight. If you have not played chess before, this is how the pawn works. The pawn can only move forward once per turn, but it cannot take(eat)pieces in front of it. It has to take pieces diagonally in front of it.

The rook may only move straight. It cannot hop over pieces. The rook is just a 2x2 circular plate.
