It is a real board, Ellen - made of glass. The pieces in the foreground are frosted glass, and the opponents are clear. It's got many moods, depending on lighting. Siobhan, thanks for the compliment!
The thrill of the game itself eludes me (I prefer to call the rooks "castles" and the knights "horses"), but Chess sets definitely have aesthetic appeal. Your photo is amazing, simultaneously surreal and Escher-esque.

I can't tell - is this a real chessboard? Looks cool, whatever it is!
