Interesting Chess Set Concept

I was browsing other blogs and came across this interesting chess set concept ...

According to the Streatham and Brixton Chess Club blog (July 4th)

inspired by Alice through the Looking Glass these piece are described as ...

Inspired by this, the chess pieces have an opaque mirror finish, when they touch the surface of the board they magically turn transparent and reveal the identity of the piece contained inside them. When removed from the board they revert to being opaque, hiding the identity of the piece.


That's just neat! Check out the Link.

A set that reveal pieces only when they touch the board's surface? I could think of a few dirty coffehouse tricks. ;-)
