A jeweller from Krasnoyarsk, Ruslan Timoschuk, has created a unique chessboard featuring former US President Barack Obama and current Russian President Vladimir Putin as the opposing kings.
The chess set, which is made of gold, silver and 102 diamonds, uses various political, national and historic figures and structures to form the two sides. The white queen represents Russia, while the black queen represents the Statue of Liberty and the pawns have been crafted into the Brandenburg Gate and the Kremlin Wall, among other iconic buildings and persons.
