9. Scherzo. Wood: scrap woods; on wire pedestals. King 4-1/4" H. Prototype set: six chessmen.

Tenth design, pieces made from scrap wood geometric blocks, deliberately conceived as an irresponsible, playful design. King was given a rhomboid, Queen an ellipsoid, Bishop a cone, Knight a tipped-over pyramid, Rook a cylinder, and Pawn a hemisphere shape. According to the artist, this set "could not be considered seriously as a chess design."

Gift of the artist, O.L Harvey, 1970.
