Description

Microchess is a Chess variant invented by Glimne in 1997. It uses a small 4x5 board, with a reduced number of pieces. There is no queen starting on the board, and only a single pawn.

If you would like to purchase a copy, I sell sets at:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1366900922/4x5-microchess-set-chess-variant-with-a

The rules of chess apply, with the following differences:
Pawns have no double-move option.
There is no castling.
Pawns can promote to any of the four pieces as in chess, including queen.

The pieces for this set can be found at:
https://www.printables.com/model/329127-travel-chess-pieces-with-6mm-magnets

The pieces and board are intended to be magnetized with 6x3mm magnets. There is a storage tray with a magnetic latch.

The size of the board is:
5.8" x 4.8" x 1.2"

If you only want the board and no storage, print “Microchess board.stl”. Otherwise, print the other files. The top and bottom are glued together. The board requires a multi-material printer.

You can find a set of rules and an online version here:
