Since I was not aware of it, this did not inspire my illustrated 2D Abstract set. Despite this, there are enough similarities that the use of the same name seems appropriate. In fact, it's even more similar than the actual inspiration for my set. For the Rook, I used a square while Hans used a cube. For the Knight I used a 2D pattern of three squares representing the Knight's move while Hans tried the same idea in 3D. For the Bishop, I used a triangle while Hans used a pyramid with triangular sides. For the King, I used a cross to divide a semi-circle while Hans used a solid cross. And for the Pawns, I used a semi-circle while Hans used a semi-sphere. The main difference is the Queen, which in my set is a crown composed of disconnected squares and triangles.
