Chess sets come in numerous forms and assortments. Years ago I always like to view a civil war chess set that were for sale in a corner store in Center City, Philly. The chess sets were molds of art and were retained under a sideboard behind glass. Each chess set displayed there had a contrasting style. Nearly all sets were quite pricey. The pieces were comprised of some different materials, and did not resemble the chess pieces I possessed in my own cheap plastic chess set.

Sometimes it seemed as if you would have had difficulty actually playing chess with a themed set, since it is hard to figure out which pieces were which after you started to move them around the board. I was never sure if the people who could afford to buy those chess sets would actually have utilized them in the game. However the different chessmen and styles of chessboards were frequently lovely, and I would have loved to be competent to afford to purchase one of them.
