Chess is a beautiful game, and it is sometimes played on extraordinarily beautiful boards with wonderful pieces. These are some of the best Chess sets available.
1. Dragons and Wizards Chess Set
Created by award-winning fantasy artist Michael Whelan, this set is sculpted in pewter and hand-painted. The board is smoked glass and surrounded by an elaborate frame which includes several castle towers.2. Treasures of Tutankhamun Chess Set
The pieces are accented in 24 karat gold in this Egyptian-themed Chess set. The hand-crafted hardwood board is finished in ebony and rosewood colors. A pyramid-shaped dust cover provides the final touch.3. Soapstone Chess Set
With pieces handmade by an African tribe, these Chess sets are all one-of-a-kind creations. The soapstone used is found only in the hills near the Kisii tribe in Kenya.4. Fossil Stone Chess Set
Crafted from stone that is more than 50 million years old, each of these sets features remnants of marine fossils, so no two sets are alike.5. Pewter Chess Set
The pewter pieces have felt bottoms; one side is coated in brass while the other is coated in silver. The kings are 2.5 inches tall.
