A chess player does not need the board to see moves. The word check travels from shah, the Persian word for king, through shatranj, so the checked grid carries the game's old root. The second print works in long bands with one half circle at the base, a small break on that side. Shared tone keeps the pair a set rather than a mismatch. Give it to a chess player who keeps the board ready but likes a gift that is not another set of pieces.

A pair or set saves 10% against buying the same pieces one at a time. That holds at the same format, frame and size. The page puts the comparison beside the single prices, so the saving is in front of you before you order. You order the set once, and each piece prints as its own file.
How do I choose the size?
Match the size to the wall and to the furniture under it. Over a sofa, two 18 x 24 in canvases fill the space well. As a rough width guide, aim for art close to two thirds the width of the piece it hangs above. Each artwork shows the sizes it prints best at. You get a shape where the picture crops cleanly with a slight trim. The file carries the detail, and the preview shows the crop that prints. One size covers the whole set.
Can I hang the pieces in any order?
Hang them in whatever order suits your wall. The set page lists the pieces left to right, but that is a suggestion. Your room, and the view from where you usually sit, can decide it instead. Each piece arrives framed or stretched as you chose, all from the one order.
