_Ghost_ is a novelty chess set. It is intended for display purposes since it is probably impractical for playing. I posted this [on reddit](http://www.reddit.com/r/Design/comments/hmiuj/ghost_a_novelty_chess_set_design/) to some acclaim, but I never got the motivation to get this manufactured. The picture has since popped up in various places on the internet, such as [on this blog post](http://szachy.chess.com/news/halloween-horror-knight-8999).
