There is a wide variety of chess sets to purchase in the marketplace of every material and sizing like plastic, stone, metal and wood. Usually, Chess is a game enjoyed by two participants.

Yesterday suddenly I was reminded of a long ignored promise. Do not get me wrong, it is not me who has forgot only my precious hubby. He was supposed to buy me a Chess set. It was the most stunning chess set, that i saw in the picture window of an antique shop. The board was made of a marble like material and its pieces were of bronze and silver. King, Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop and Pawn, they all appeared so realistic, complete with swords and crowns. It was love at first view.

That chess set made me fall in love. Unfortunately we moved out of the city and forgot about it. But one day I will be sure that my hubby keeps his promise and then I will write how I made him assure to buy me that particular chess set.

Chess sets can come in numerous forms and assortments. Years ago I used to like to look at the chess sets that are visible in a emporium in Center City, Philadelphia. The chess sets were forms of art and were kept under a counter behind a wall. Every chess set displayed there had a different idea. Nearly all sets were quite costly. The pieces were constructed of many extraordinary textiles, and did not resemble the chess pieces I possessed in my old inexpensive plastic chess set.

Sometimes it appeared as if you would have had difficulty actually playing chess with a themed set, since it is hard to tell which men were which after you began to propel them around the board. I was never sure if the people who could afford to buy these chess sets would actually have utilized them to play the game. However the various pieces and fashions of chessboards were oftentimes lovely, and I would have liked to have been competent to afford to purchase one of them.

One of the greatest chess sets that I have ever saw was crafted by an artist that my elder sister lived with. It possessed a lovely wooden chess board and the pieces were of cast pewter. This was really a neat set not just for the artistry but also for the idea of the chess set, which was like something from the Lord of the Rings film, full-scale with medieval looking castles, elves, wizards, dragons and dwarfs.

The one set of chessmen were copper plated, while the opposing chessmen were the color of the pewter. I never was able to play on it, but we did get the pleasure of putting it up at the fine art exhibits where my sister would attempt to sell their bosses work.
