Gorgeous views of the world's most beautiful game. From the slender lines of the queen to the suggestively cocked hat of the bishop, this is the place to show us your wood... or plastic, or whatever the chess set may be made from.

My latest addition, Zagreb 59. [4264x4695]
Board was from a Spanish supplier, anegre and maple, bought in the UK from a local supplier Regency Chess. The pieces are from an Indian supplier Royal Chess Mail, and are a Zagreb 3.9” set.
I’m well pleased with it.

Missing a queen, help me ID for a replacement? [4000x1848]
Found this set in an attic. It's missing a queen and I'd love to see if the original company is still around to find a proper replacement

[2048x1360] Exactly which model is it? It's extremely similar to some Polish made boards sold on eBay, Amazon etc. I like the fact that the bishops have opposing caps. Seems like it's not the models Ambassador, Senator, Kingdom or Blueberry. I think it might be called "Pearl" though?

A chess set that I just acquired: featuring a brutalist design, each piece crafted in bronze and uniquely designed. Any ideas on who created it? [1500x1125] - Thank you kindly

I paid 200 euros in Athens Greece for this chess set which includes the board and two playsets: Roman and Greek chess pieces. Did I get ripped off? [8x8]
The pieces are made of bronze and have a heavy feel to them.
I just felt really pressured to buy it from the store owners as I didn't want to lug it around Greece.
Now that we made it to Crete I saw an even cooler circular ceramic chess board with Greek locations embedded in it and the pantheon of the Gods as the pieces. The listed prices was 185 euros.
I feel that had I waited I would have purchased that one.
There are no returns so I am stuck with what I have. I would just like to know if I got ripped off or not.
