You must have a chess set to play the game. nnThere is a wide variety of chess sets available in the world of every material and sizing like plastic, stone, metal and wood. Normally, Chess is a game played by 2 players. nnToday suddenly I remembered a long neglected promise. Do not get me wrong, it's not me who has forgotten only my precious husband. He was going to buy me a Chess set. It was the most gorgeous chess set, that i saw in the show window of an antique store. The board was created of a marble like material and its pieces were of bronze and silver. King, Queen, Rook, Knight, Bishop and Pawn, they all looked so genuine, included with swords and crowns. It was love at first view. nnI fell in love with that chess set. Unfortunately we went out of the city and never remembered it. But some day I will make sure that my hubby preserves his promise and then I will write how I made him promise to buy me that unique chess set.nnChess sets can come in many forms and assortments. A Long Time ago I used to like to view the chess sets that are visible in a corner store in Center City, Philly. The chess sets were works of art and were kept under a sideboard behind glass. Every chess set displayed there had a contrasting idea. Most sets were quite pricey. The pieces were made of many unique textiles, and did not resemble the chess pieces I possessed in my own cheap plastic chess set. nnSometimes it appeared as if you would have had difficulty really playing chess with a themed set, since it would have been hard to determine which men were which after you began to move them around the table. I was never for certain if the people who could afford to buy these chess boards would really have employed them in the game. However the different chessmen and fashions of chessboards were oftentimes beautiful, and I would have liked to have been able to afford to buy one of them. nnOne of the finest chess sets that I have ever saw was created by an artist that my elder sister worked for. It possessed a stunning wooden board and the chessmen were of cast pewter. This was such a elegant set not just for the artistry but also for the theme of the chess set, which appeared like something from the Lord of the Rings motion picture, complete with dragons, wizards, elves, dwarfs and medieval looking castles.nnOne set of chessmen were copper plated, while the opponent pieces were the colouring of the pewter. I never got a chance to play on it, but we did have the delight of setting it up at the art shows where my sister would try to hawk their bosses work.
