Staunton Chess Sets
Often someone is looking for a full set of chess pieces on a board that is both art for them home decor as well as the game of chess. You might hear terms like "Staunton" - this refers to traditional looking chess pieces; the king has a cross, the knight is the bust of a horse, and the rook looks like the top of a castle. We have a great selection of luxury chess sets for both display and play with a variety of features including size, storage, material, and more. If you're looking for a classic heirloom chess set, this is the place to start.

Portable Chess Sets
There are many reasons a full-size chess board might not be practical. Not everyone can leave a full chess set on display. Some families have furry friends that love to interfere with a chess set leading to frustration. There are lot of options for a portable set with features such as magnetic, folding, and other sets with storage. These are great for not just travel but analysis play, and many are still handsome enough that can easily be left out when possible.

Tournament or Club Supplies
If you are looking for a chess set for a club or school or have a chess player that wants to play in tournaments, there is a specific style of chess set used. The ideal chess set includes large, plastic pieces (often weighted) with a roll up chess board and bag. In chess, green and white squares are standard - this makes it easy to see the black and white chessmen. The black pieces cannot get lost on their own squares. We have many affordable options of these chess sets in our tournament section. We also have other accessories including scorebooks, demonstration boards, and chess clocks.

Theme Chess Sets
Before the staunton design was normalized, every chess set looked different. Today not everyone wants a classic style chess set. One beauty of chess is that there are many other options, from brave knights to ferocious animals and fantastical beasts or historical battles. There are thematic chess sets for virtually anything you can think of. If you're looking for a unique chess item to suit your personal interests, theme chess sets offer a fantastic opportunity.
