A unique chess set, specially designed for the late controversial figure Jeffrey Epstein, has come to light with an unsettling and unconventional composition. Images acquired by TMZ reveal the chess pieces, featuring Epstein as the king piece, accompanied by nine young women portrayed in suggestive poses, each symbolizing different roles on the chessboard.
Crafted from photos captured in 2016 at a photo studio in New York City, the set was meticulously produced using around 600 images. A group of young women in their twenties, referred to as the “queens,” frequented the studio, elegantly dressed, to pose for the 3D-printed chess pieces.
The women, claiming to be part of a chess club, provided minimal information about the club’s specifics or its leadership. Epstein, towards the project’s completion, had his likeness captured, although the employee assisting him was unaware of his identity.
Each side of the chess set flaunts Epstein as the king figure, attired in regal robes and crowns in either black or white. The entire endeavor reportedly cost $5,000, a trivial expense for Epstein, who possessed an estimated fortune of $600 million before his demise in 2019 while in custody at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York.
Meanwhile, Sarah Ferguson has found herself embroiled in another controversy following the exposure of an email exchange between her and Epstein. Despite previously denouncing pedophilia, the Duchess of York privately praised Epstein as a generous friend and expressed regret for criticizing him in a newspaper interview, attributing her conciliatory message to alleged threats made by Epstein.
Ferguson’s advisor recounted a chilling phone call from Epstein, where he threatened legal action and vowed to harm her reputation. The advisor saved Epstein’s number to avoid future contact, emphasizing the unsettling nature of their interaction.
