Unique Chess Sets

There is a place where cowboys and Indians charge, where knights and kings try to out-maneuver one another, where Alice and the Cheshire Cat play a game of cat and mouse. Where is this remarkable battle field you ask? Atop just a few of the hundreds of unique chess sets now available for the serious and not so serious players.

Hot Trends
Chess sets have come a long way since the game originated sometime before 600 A.D. Fans of the game have had centuries to put their own personalities into the pawns of their passion by designing truly unique chess sets.

Whether you are looking for a unique chess set made of the finest materials or a novelty chess set that is completely out there, unique chess sets are a hot new trend that you don't have to look far to find.

For example, the best-selling Roll Over Beethoven Chess Set pits classic musicians against members of a rock band. Lancelot's Revenge Medieval Chess Set features a unique castle-like board and ornately carved painted pawns that resemble a medieval royal court. No longer limited to wood and ivory, chess sets are now constructed from unique materials like glass, mirrored tiles, stone, and leather. You can find unique chess sets built into the tops of tables or the more familiar table top sets.

Wide Variety
With the wide range of unique chess sets available, there is also a wide price range available too. The price tag on a unique chess set can range from $20 for a Classic Wooden Pedestal Chess Board set, to $10,000 for a set like a Solid Bronze Medieval Chess Table set.

While the game is played the same whether you are using Indians to protect a chief, knights to protect your king or guitarists to protect your lead singer unique chess sets are truly works of art that will enhance the playing experience and the decor of any room.
