Some of you reading this blog post will have received a beautiful chess set for Christmas. This may have been in response to a request on your part or a surprise gift. Either way, the generosity of the giver may have opened up a new world for you.
It is possible your gift was a themed chess set, maybe with the theme of Sherlock Holmes. It is interesting that the new Sherlock Holmes film is one of the latest films to use chess as a key way of telling a story. That may seem a long way from a chess game with friends or family. But, it shows the importance of the world you are entering for the first time or seeking to get to know better. After all, chess requires intelligence and Sherlock Holmes was a good exponent of the application of brainpower.
If you are feeling sluggish after too much Christmas indulgence, learning how to get the best from all the different chess set pieces will set you a challenge for the New Year. It might be that you already play chess quite well. In that case, your New Year’s resolution could be to develop your game further so that you can do yourself proud with your best chess set ever.
