A one-of-one piece of chess history from the Chess Olympiad 2024 in Budapest. This wall-mounted ChessboArt800 in American walnut carries the complete trio of signatures — Judit, Susan (Zsuzsa) and Sofia Polgar. The board was prominently displayed during the Olympiad in Budapest (EXPO showcase), drawing guests, players and media — a rare moment where design, legacy and live chess culture met in one place.
For this occasion we collaborated with designer Barbara Razowska to create a special resin chess set with real gold-leaf accents, crafted specifically to accompany this board. The warm walnut frame, magnetic playing surface and gold-flecked pieces turn the composition into a statement object — beautiful to look at, and a joy to play.
Provenance included. Your purchase comes with a downloadable provenance pack (PDF with photos and close-ups of each autograph, plus an artist-signed statement confirming when and where the signatures were obtained). On request, we can assist with an independent third-party COA. We do not lacquer over signatures; store away from UV and moisture — archival framing is available on request.
If you’d like full technical details of the platform this piece is built on, see the standard model page here: ChessboArt800 — specifications & dimensions. This collector edition uses the same American-walnut chassis (800 × 800 mm, recessed D-ring mounting, hidden magnetic system), paired with the bespoke resin & gold-leaf set.

Invoice & shipping. We issue a commercial invoice as ChessboArt — Michał Fudalej (EU-based). Dispatch time is 2–10 days (the board is available; we may be travelling). Worldwide insured shipping in a custom crate is provided.

— you’ll reach me,
FM Michał Fudalej. I design and make each board by hand.
Yes, it’s a small brand. And every story has to start somewhere.
And honestly — I’d be truly glad even if you just say hi.

I purchased the club magnetic chess set. The product is beyond my expectations in functionality and beauty. It’s a real honor to own such a product wish I had something like this years ago, but glad I have it now. Truly beautiful artwork even my spouse who doesn’t play chess absolutely loves the artistic nature and quality of the product. Excellent seller and communication. Look forward to purchasing top of the line set in the future. Although, this is almost perfect. You would swear it’s completely wood from a distance.

I seldom shop on Etsy and was uncertain about making a purchase there, but my clock arrived quickly, was exactly as advertised, and was very well-packaged. I couldn’t ask for a better shopping experience.
Dear Mr. Fudalej,
I would like to inform you that the wall chessboard arrived today. Everything is fine and works.
I really like the color of the oak wood in its dark shade. And surprisingly, it perfectly matches the color of the table.

Thanks again for the additional production of the chessboard. I am very happy with it, because it goes very nicely with the furniture in the living room.
Have a nice evening and greetings,
Matteo
