Chess

 

— chess sets, usually, include not only pieces, but also a board. At the same time, the same board is also suitable for checkers, and the inside can also be marked for playing backgammon. Accordingly, this category includes both specialized chess and multi-purpose sets.

Also note that modern chess pieces can be produced both in a classic and in a rather original design — for example, in the form of soldiers of real armies (“Greeks against Persians”, “Musketeers against the cardinal’s guardsmen”), in the form of fantasy heroes (“light magicians against the dark”, “antique gods against the Scandinavian ones”), as well as in completely unexpected design options — like cartoon characters, metal parts (bolts, nails, etc.), dummies of cartridges and even small glasses for strong drinks. Such unusual chess can be a good gift.
