Query: Luzhin's Pixlok set ?

------------------- I just performed a Google search on the word "Pixlok"
from the Foreword to The Defense. Exactly one page turned up, one that
cited the passage from the Foreword, a Nabokovian trap for the cyber-age.
I am guessing that a Pixlok set is a type, possibly a brand, of chess set.
Am I right? I would much appreciate being corrected or enlightened on this
point.
Thanks,

EDNOTE. I have always assumed it was a kid's puzzle of some sort. Picking
locks? Might be a British trade name circa 1910? Does any one have an
informed opinion on this?
