This chess set was auctioned recently and fetched more than $140,000 (about 100 times the minimum bid) despite missing a piece. What's so special about it?Answer: Hope all of you had a great vacation/weekend. This is the chess set used in the iconic scenes of death playing chess with a medieval knight (Max Von Sydow) in Ingmar Bergman's classic movie The Seventh Seal. In the movie, the knight knocks down the pieces in a scene which breaks the white king into two. AJ,Vetti, Paddy, Rithwik, Srivats, Krithi, Hari, Mrinalini, Rajeev, Arvind, Karthik, P, Corina and guessthelogo got it right. Well done.
