US Patent 12076653 Chess set with intermeshing game pieces

A chess set includes two or more chess pieces that have radial symmetry around a vertical axis and having rank-identifying shapes similar to those found in common Staunton style chess pieces. The chess pieces are designed such that at least two of the pieces can intermesh or combine with one another to result in a meshed pair that can be stored in less than 65% of the space that would be required to store the two pieces if stored separately.
