How to Choose a Chess Set? A Guide for Beginners, Players and Design Lovers
Choosing a chess set is not just about the game.
It is a decision that combines aesthetics, functionality and personal style.
Whether you are a passionate player, a collector, or simply looking for a unique statement piece for your interior, this guide will help you find the right chess set for you.
For Playing, Deco or Both?
The first thing to consider is how you want to use your chess set.
For playing: Look for stable pieces, easily recognisable shapes and a high-quality surface that allows the pieces to move smoothly across the board.
For deco: Design and exceptional materials take centre stage.
Luxury chess sets, such as those by Chess by Jass, bring functionality and elegance together — designed to be played and made to be displayed.
Epoxy Resin or a Combination of Wood and Resin?
Epoxy resin: Modern and distinctive, offering endless possibilities through colour and transparency.
Wood & resin: A combination that brings together the natural character of wood and the striking visual effect of epoxy resin. An ideal choice for those who appreciate originality and craftsmanship.
What Suits You — and Your Interior?
Minimalist, rustic, luxurious or playful?
The most important thing is that both the chessboard and the pieces reflect your personal ideas.
Consider the colours, materials and overall character of your interior — or explore our Bespoke Chess Sets and create a set designed specifically for your space.
Where Will Your Chess Set Live?
Chess sets come in many different sizes, from compact travel sets to substantial statement pieces.
Think about where your chess set will be displayed or played. A set that becomes a permanent part of your interior can be more than a game, it can become part of the space itself.
Looking for an Original Gift?
A handcrafted chess set is a unique gift with lasting value, whether for an anniversary, Christmas, a birthday or a wedding.
A piece created by hand and with genuine care carries a completely different meaning from something mass-produced.
