The game of chess is enthralling and teaches us so much about strategy and mental endurance but do you ever think about the chess set pieces with which you are playing?
Choosing the best chess set for your needs is probably more important than you realize.
Do you want an uninteresting chess set that is purely for playing the game of would you prefer a carved chess set depicting a period of history or perhaps your favorite literary characters?
Chess sets come in so many shapes and sizes so it is easy to get one that means something to you. Personally I love chess pieces that feel great in your hand and are beautifully carved: in short, a good chess set feels and looks great.
Heavy chess pieces somehow add something to the game of chess too. Lifting a nicely weighted rook or bishop feels more deliberate and special - try it and you will see what I mean.
Carefully carved chess pieces make a great conversation piece in the corner of a room, particularly if they are colorfully hand painted ones too! Each one is a work of art in it's own right and it is said that centuries ago individual chess pieces were indeed valued as ornaments in their own right.
What a great gift a chess set would make to someone this Christmas or for a birthday, especially if the theme of the set is something the recipient loves. Perhaps give a Sherlock Holmes themed set to a lover of those books or a set of Isle of Lewis chessmen to a history nut. The possibilities are virtually endless.
