Glass Chess Sets
Glass is the generic term used to describe chess sets which are made from crystal or bone china. Although these types of sets generally come in the theme or collector’s categories, you can fine regular pieces and pawns as well.
Wood Chess Sets
Wood is a great material for chess sets. The pieces, pawns and board can be made from less expensive oak, pine or walnut, or you can choose exotic woods like teak, ebony, or cocobolo.
Travel Chess Sets
If you’re on the go then folding travel chess sets are for you. They’re usually magnetic to protect against bumps and jolts. The pieces and pawns can be stored inside the board when folded.
Themed Chess Sets
Themed chess sets depict characters, movies and events. There are theme chess sets for most major sports teams with pieces and pawns that resemble positions like quarterback and cheerleaders. There are entire categories of cartoon character chess sets that are perfect for attracting younger people to the game. You can even get Civil War or WW II sets as well as Roman Gladiator and even old West models.
