The idea for A00 was born at Pracownia Wschodnia in Warsaw's Praga district, during countless conversations over coffee. The artists Kasia Rysiak and Agnieszka Wach, studying the rules of chess, decided to design their own set.

Its genesis was the desire to have a chess set characterised by elegance, contemporary design and noble materials.

 

The name A00 comes from the category of irregular chess openings.

 

Since 2021 the project has been realized and developed by Kasia Rysiak.
