3DEXCITE recently hosted an exciting "Checkmate Challenge" in collaboration with the Solidworks Champions User group, and you may have seen the submissions in the Solidworks User Community over the past few weeks.

Participants demonstrated their skills by designing and rendering their favorite chess pieces using the 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS tools:
