Chess. It's not a board game. It's a battle ground where, every time you limp away from the carnage, your wits are just that much sharper. It's where concentration is honed, critical thinking is developed, and strategy is born. It's what Ben Franklin was doing when he wasn't playing with lightning or nation-building. Some say the chess set is music. Others say that it is mathematics. For nearly 2000 years, the chessboard has been a problem to be solved and a pattern to be recognized. Welcome to ChessSets.com; we take our love of chess pretty seriously.

"I have literally spent hours searching the web. Your site is one of the few that had a traveling chess set with briefcase handle and pieces that were secured with straps (exactly what I wanted). It looks like it is a good, quality product, and I can't wait to receive it! I know my son will treasure this for years to come."
