The Queen's Gambit

If you like your puzzles with a bit of attitude, this one’s a treat. Playing Chess centres on a big-eyed chess mastermind, hands poised, with pieces scattered across a glossy black-and-white board.

It’s the sort of image that feels really satisfying to build: crisp checker patterns, lots of contrasting shapes in the chess pieces, and those deep burgundy tones in the background that pull the whole scene together. You’ll get a lovely mix of easy wins (all those bold edges) and slower, more thoughtful sections as the portrait comes to life.

Perfect for a cosy evening in, especially if you enjoy a puzzle that looks striking on the table while you’re working on it.
