You're welcome, Gerardo.

I actually made a variation of that model and made diagrams for it.

You can find it here:

I would also really like if you proof-folded those diagrams, since I cannot find people willing to do that.

If you want to (or someone else wants to) you can send me a message and I will send you the diagrams.

ORIGAMI - CHESS QUEEN ♕

"In chess the most unbelievable thing for me is that it's a game for everybody: rich, poor, girl, boy, old, young. It's a fantastic game which can unite people and generations! It's a language which you'll find people "speak" in every country." - GM Judith Polgar (Real Queen of Chess)

Designed and folded by me from a single uncut square sheet of bicolored tracing paper
Paper size : 75cm x 75cm
Model size : 20cm x 15 cm
64x64 Grids Boxpleated

PHOTODIAGRAMS GUIDE


My attempt at color change! I had long wanted to fold something related to chess, finally came up with this anthropomorphised chess set :) Very pleased with the result, as I was able to combine 2 of my fav. hobbies!
(The wooden chess set is special to me, a gift from my father, who taught me this wonderful game.)

Since it might not be so clear to recognise all the elements here:-
1. 64 Grids BP: because 64 squares on a chess board
2. Queen on the Throne: because strongest piece
3. 2 knights/horses, 2 Bishops
4. 2 Rooks: Depicted as brick-sided throne.
5. 8 Pawns as Crown Spikes

Scope for improvement - color change on 4 pawns (too small to notice so I skipped), color change on Rook (had no clue on how to do it), King Symbol being a simple Origami Crane (but may have become unrecognisable as King symbol)

I'd designed this model 2 years ago, but couldn't finish it then. Now, the World Chess Championship is in November, and it could be a big one for GM Gukesh!
Hope you all like it :)
