Any idea on this gameboard?

I picked up this wooden gameboard today. I couldn't find anything similar. Is it chess? It has numbers and letters on it. Thank you for any info! It folds out.

 

Could it be so simple as just a chess set? Could be - I tried counting the pieces but my eyes started to cross!

 

Could be lol. I'll try and keep looking haha

 

Yes to chess. The numbers and letters are for chess notation.

 

Also, I should’ve mentioned that those letters and numbers are for algebraic chess notation which did not become widely used until about 1980.

 

of course it's a chess board with chess pieces.....what else could it be ???

Queen to knight 6.........Check !

 

looks like 32 pieces, I managed to get a count by doing each color separately. Got to be chess.
(Counting and typing more slowly than you folks )

 

The brown King is not part of the set.

 

why not ?
it mirrors the white king !!

 

I see it now- there is a brown (plastic?) king at middle top that is not like the others....maybe used to replace a missing piece. Do I have to try to re-count?

 

yes....with the cross on it...i see it now !!!

where's Waldo !!

 

Set up the board and put the pieces in place. It somehow looks Scandinavian design.
