Inspiration for this chess set comes from a unique sea animal, only species with very unusual reproduction system. This elegant but bit shy design with elaborate mane following the contours of real animal makes it a unique for lovers of form and elegance among chess collectors.
The male becomes pregnant! The female seahorse produces eggs and passes them to the male, who holds them in a pouch on his stomach. Before inception, when the pair approaches each other, they change colour. The courtship of the pair performing an elaborate dance and displays can last upto 1 hours. This sounds very much like a game of chess.

Sea Horse pair for life, they meet first thing in the morning to a bonding with an elaborate courtship display. The female visits the male territory and approach each other then they change colour. The male circles around the female and pair often dance around an object. This display can last up to an hour, once over, the female goes back to her territory.
