The Queen's Gambit by Romi Lerda - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Magnolia Puzzles)
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.
About this puzzle
Strong contrast between black, white and burgundy areas helps, but the dark background and checkerboard pattern with similar chess pieces create moderate challenge.
