Ways Of Getting The Perfect Expensive Chess Sets

By Ruth Brown


Today, there are many available chess games out there that can make it confusing for you to pick one for purchase. The chess sets can be used to play or as a decorative aspect in your house. You can use the chess sets in your library as centerpieces or even at times as heirlooms. Their collective quality is what will determine their value. This article highlights some tips that you will need when selecting expensive chess sets.

What is your reason for acquiring the set piece in the first place? You may want the set pieces for playing or even for decorative purposes. In the case that you want to acquire them so that you can play with them, then you should consider realistic games available. Select a chess piece that will suit your style and taste as well.

It is very important to follow the tournament procedure, but unless you are using the pieces for an official match, you do not have to be keen on the size of the chess piece to the board. Normally the general rule is that the kings base should cover slightly more than a quarter of the width of the square. By diving the diameter of the king base by 0.78, you will be able to determine the appropriate size.

One important factor to consider is the durability. If you were intent to be using it on a daily basis, you should get quality and strong pieces. You will be better f with heavy plastics. Maybe your intention is to have something that you can all over, you should choose the small and compact sets. That way you are sure to get the games that are magnetic or are pegged so that they can be protected from the jolts and bumps while you are carrying them.

Make special considerations when getting the wooden sets. When purchasing the set made from wood, then choose wood of excellent quality. Wood is a great material for a game. They are impressive to look at. The pieces also have a very solid feel. However, these sets tend to be hefty and therefore, are not ideal for traveling. The wood game can also be a great addition to your office.

Look at uniformity. Before you buy the pieces, have a good look at them first. Look into the Knights as they accrue to 50% of the total price of any game. The cost is inclusive of the finish of that game, its quality, and uniformity of these pieces. Look at the design of that crown of your king. Keep in mind of the most important pieces of such a game: the king and knights.

Consider getting attractive game pieces probably made from bone china or crystal. These are very suitable to be used for decorative purposes. However, there are glass sets that are more practical. The crystal made sets are a bit hefty compared to the light china made whose weight depends on the weight of a base of those pieces. They are attractive to look at but very fragile and break easily when they drop. They are also very easily dirtied by prints or even dirt debris.

The above information makes it clear that if you invest in a good quality game piece, it will be worth your while and you will not feel disappointed. There are many designs out there. The hard part is not finding a game piece but finding the correct piece that will make it worthwhile.
