Abstract sets replace: a cube stands in for a rook and you learn the substitution. Minimal sets simplify: the rook is still a tower, but the battlements are suggested with two shallow cuts instead of eight deep ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe advantage of simplifying is that nobody has to be taught. Hand this set to someone who has never seen it and they will set it up correctly without asking, which is not true of the Bauhaus pieces. The disadvantage is that it makes no argument; it is a quiet set rather than a provocative one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"TWO_COLUMN_GRID-Se9wNf0Dpl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-two-column-grid page_crafter_two_column_grid-Se9wNf0Dpl\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h3 page_crafter_two_column_heading-Se9wNf0Dpl page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eA near matched royal pair\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page_crafter_grid_plain_text-Se9wNf0Dpl     page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive millimetres between king and queen is very tight.

Keeping the Staunton vocabulary and simply stating it with fewer cuts means nobody needs the design explained, which is a real advantage over the abstract sets. Iron weighting at 846g is respectable for the size. Two limits worth naming. It is small at 85mm on a 45mm board, so it will not have presence on a table.
