JEFFREY Epstein paid thousands of pounds to have himself and young women made into “real-life” chess figures.
The sex offender and a string of women in their 20s reportedly had photos taken of them which were then used to model pieces for a private chessboard.

The women – known as the “queens” – told staff at a New York photo shop in 2016 that they were in a chess club but didn’t reveal who the club’s president was.
Sources told TMZ that the women came into the shop over several months and posed for snaps in stylish outfits.
Using the photos, the staff then created 3D sculptures of every chess piece – rooks, knights, bishops and queens – with the exception of the two kings.
All of them were made out of sandstone-like material.
One of the pieces was modelled after a mystery man who came in with the women, but he was not Epstein.
It was said to have cost the paedophile – who hung himself in 2019 while on trial for sex trafficking offences – $5,000 for 36 chess pieces.
Epstein apparently only arrived at the end of the process asking for his photos to be shot so the king pieces could be turned into the chessboard emperor.
