Shares 15.8K Yes, we are back at it again with another Lego post! This is a bit of a record for me. This time I want to show you a project that my son has been working on for a while. He created a Lego Chess Set! He is a big fan of the game chess, so combining two of his passions seemed like a logical idea!

🙂 Legos are kinda a big deal at our house and chess is becoming increasingly popular, too. How to Make a Lego Chess Set To make this set we used a small square base plate (16×16). The squares are black and white 2×2’s. You need 32 of each color, black and white. The trickiest part was finding all of the parts for the chess pieces. It took my son quite a long time to sift through everything and find all that he needed. I have to apologize for not knowing the names of all of the little tiny pieces, but hopefully the images above will help you see what they look like and how to build them. You need 2 bishops, knights, and rooks of each color, one king and queen of each color and 8 pawns of each color.

I have to say that I kind of adore this little chess set and I am so proud of my son for putting it all together! He had a blast making it and we are having fun using it, though it will likely be more of a display piece! 😉 The inspiration for this set came from the. Now just a side note on chess. I am TERRIBLE at the game.

My 11-year-old son beats me and has to coach me through every game. He has taken a couple of chess classes at our homeschool co-op and has really gotten good at it. I forget the moves each and every time. Maybe some day my brain will retain that information. When we were just starting to, we got this set to help us learn.

(Ok, I still use it... ) It has cards that tell you how all of the pieces move.
