The history of chess is more than 1500 years. It’s the oldest skill game in the world. Ancient chess are represented in the museums in all over the world. They are amazing. But times change. Nowadays modern art gives the artist more leeway in technical execution as well as concept expression and arrangements of design elements. There are no strict rules and obligations the artists must stick to. Today we have compiled a list of the most fancy and stylish chess sets modeled by different designers. Some of them you can buy though they might cost you a handful of loose diamonds. Some exists in a single copy. Enjoy!

I like the origionality of them all. There are some that I am not sure would work very well. The Amorphous set looks like you could loose track of who is who very easily. The Tesla set would not last very long at all. The pluging and unpluging of the tubes would burn them out rather quickly, note the pawn of the blue side second in line! Besides some people (like me) like a drink while we play, not a good idea with that kinda voltage on the board. But it is a cool design for conversation sake. Last but not least is the Teeth!?! Unless you are a dentist or a mortition this would just not be a good way to keep track of your chop’s, unless you have a spare set of dentures to replace the ones that get lost! I think that the Wabble set and the Copper/Steel are my favorites. Oh and the Rubber set I think is a super idea for getting the kid’s interested in Chess witch is a good idea for any child to learn! Make-Um THINK!!!

“Chess set for Tesla. Design: Paul Fryer”
——————————————
I like the idea of the light-up chess pieces, but I’m not sure how annoying it could be to have to keep slotting in the pieces each time you move.
“Wobble chess set. Design: Adin Mumma”
—————————————
I like the orignality of the wobbling pieces … Mind you, again, it could become a bit irritating to play properly. But good for the novelty factor.
“History Chess. Design: Boym”
——————————
I like this one for the craftmanship that went into carving the pieces.
