Designers and creative studios haven’t forgotten the popularity of the game either, so if you are looking for a new Chess set, then have a look at our pick of five alternative and modern chess sets.Ī raw and quite industrial looking set, the Rawstudio chess set sets traditions far aside. With around 6 million players in the UK alone, the study shows that the popular board game isn’t going anywhere soon. In some cases people who have never played the game spend money on quality chess sets because they look good in the den or study.According to a study conducted by YouGov, around 70% of people from across the UK, USA, Russia, Germany and India have played chess at some point in their lives. I have often seen the more ornate chess boards used to enhance the decor of rooms. My brother and I used to think it would be great to have one of those expensive boards like we would sometimes see in the stores. January 25, My first chess game sets had cardboard chess boards and cheap plastic pieces. And when you were not playing the pieces could be stored inside the folded board, and they were easy to carry around-like another one of your books-and it would easily fit in your locker.ĭid I mention that they were practically indestructible? I think I still have one from my junior high days in my attic somewhere. We even played on the bus rides to and from school. The pieces had magnets on the bottom and stuck to the metal board. The set was perfect because everything was easy to keep up with. At that time, you were cool if you had one of the magnetic chess sets that folded in half. When I was in school, cards and most games were against the rules, but chess was an exception.
It was in good condition (a few scratches) when I put it away all those years ago. Drentel - I had a metal folding chess set, too! They were cool, and the board is probably in the closet at my parents' house now.
