Purchasing the Right Chess Set
Not sure what you are looking for? Then browse the site to get a feel for the variety
of styles available. Select a category and take a closer look at the Chess Sets we
have in stock - see not only the Chess Set but also the Chess Pieces in our unique photo display.
Then read on to get some hints on how to make your choice…
Buy the best chess set you can afford
If you have the money, spend it. If you don't, what the hell, spend it anyway, your credit card
company will thank you. No, honestly, never go cheap with this kind of purchase. Go the whole nine
yards. Spending extra to get the Chess Set you really want will only add to your exhilaration as you
play. So what should you buy?
We all know looks count!
We've all seen Shrek. We know looks count. And of course it is the Knight not the Ogre that is
supposed to be the one (sorry there are no princesses in Chess). And why the Knight? Well it's the
piece that allows craftsmen to truly show their skill. Compare pieces and you'll realize that the
better Chess Sets have Knights that show detailed eyes, nostrils, teeth and manes. (Two of Baron's
sets even have detailed bridles - how awesome is that?) And where the Knight shines, the other pieces
reflect his glory. Find a Knight you like and you'll fall for the rest of the family. But don't
fall too easily...
Watch its weighting
Chess sets don't have to watch their weight. Well at least they do but not like the rest of us.
Chess set weighting is all about balance. How easy the pieces are to knock over. (Yeah right, it
was an accident, you were just adjusting your piece right? Well be careful next time buddy or you'll
find yourself pushing some wood in more ways than one!). Even on a limited budget, if your balance is
challenged, then Chess Baron has weighted Chess Sets to suit. Have a look at our
double weighted chess sets
or if you think you can handle more we even have many triple weighted sets!
And while you might not have the satisfaction of holding our Chess Pieces in your hand, our brilliant
descriptions and fabulous chess set images are the next best thing...
Don't forget the board size needed for the Chess Set
While big is beautiful, nothing shows to advantage in something too small. That applies to as much to
Chess Sets as it does to jeans. So before you Add to Cart, think about the place you have to cart
your board to. Do you have a table where you can permanently display the set? Not yet? Not decided?
Have to ask Mom? To work out how much room you need, first find out what size board you will need for
your chosen Chess Set. You can work this out by using the diameter of the King and adding a bit.
Usually, a board with 2 inch square size would suit a King with no more than 1 7/8" base, so here the
"bit" is 1/8 inch. If your square size is 2 inches then your board is going to be
around (8 * 2 + 4). The 4" extra here is some room for putting captured pieces of the chess set down
(of course allow more room for your side because you're going to need it right?) and you have a rough
measure for your table. If you already have a table, then work backwards to get the Chess Board and
Chess Set size. Once you have gotten size out of the way, look at the color, materials and weight of
the board. You want them to complement your Chess Set.
But how to shop online?
Here at Chess Baron, we do our best to provide you with the same buying experience you could get in
a chess set store. Unlike other businesses that are also bricks and mortar, our site is our store
and so we invest heavily in it. We understand online retail. We don't just give you a product thumbnail,
name and price and expect you to be able to make your decision based on that! We provide multiple
enlargeable images of our Chess Sets using custom built technology. We include detailed descriptions
of each set's features and qualities and we constantly work to make sure all the information you
could possibly require is available to you. And when it is not - we are here online to serve you.
