Behind the chess pieces, a stylized chess board pattern is visible, rendered in a darker, matte finish that contrasts with the metallic sheen of the chess pieces. Encircling the entire design is a border of embossed stars, also in the antique gold hue, with five-pointed stars interspersed around the circumference. The edge of the medal has a textured finish, further enhancing its visual appeal. A white star shape is cut out at the very top, through which the medal's ribbon is attached.

 

The accompanying ribbon is a tricolor design, featuring alternating stripes of white, red, and blue. This ribbon is made of a woven material, providing both strength and a pleasing visual element. This medal is a testament to fine craftsmanship, ideal for recognizing achievement in chess or similar strategic pursuits.
