How to Choose the Right Chess and Board?

There are all kinds of chess and matching board on the market, so we have many choices. Currently, the most popular styles are magnetic chess set, handmade chess set and professional chess set.

People who like to play chess have unique feelings for chessboards and chess pieces. They generally tend to buy quality chess sets, high end chess sets, and even designer chess sets. How do we choose the right chess and board? The following aspects are the focus of consideration.

Budget

I personally think this is the first thing you need to consider. Because of the different materials and design prices of chess, which style of chess to choose depends on one's ability. The high-quality handmade wooden chess set is also quite expensive. If you want a unique chess board, then you might as well consider starting a designer chess board.

Eco-Friendly

Nowadays, we are paying more and more attention to environmental issues. Under this premise, those luxury chess boards are not the main choice.

The Latest Version

If the product you wish to purchase is the latest version, then you may wish to consider some of the chess boards that have recently appeared on the shelves. Certain chessboards and chess pieces combine fashion and quality, showing the elegance of chess players.

Occasion

Where you play chess determines to a certain extent the style of goods you buy. If your international chess board is used at home, you don't have to worry about the size or weight of the board. However, if you are playing chess while traveling, you may wish to consider electronic or travel chess set as an alternative. Chess helps develop children’s intelligence, cultivate logical thinking and imagination, and strengthen analytical skills and memory.

Style

High-end or well-designed chess boards are works of art, which can add extraordinary charm to the home. For example, some glass chess sets handmade by masters combine practicality and fashion. It is indeed a manifestation of taste to put it in the home. If your overall home style tends to be simple, then the simple appearance of chess with light colors is the style you need. No matter which style you choose, it mainly depends on your personal preferences and needs.

Age

The chess board is an ideal gift for almost any age. Chess can cultivate children's tactical ideology and overall concept, enhance planning and flexibility in study and life, and enrich amateur cultural life. If you are worried about the damage to the expensive luxury chess board or the loss of the chess pieces, you might as well choose some moderately priced chess sets for your children as gifts. For some elderly people who like chess, you can choose to buy a good material as a gift.

Activity

If you often play chess, choosing a board that can withstand durability is the right choice. If you only play once occasionally, a summary or basic chess board may be a better choice for you.

In fact, no matter which chess set you choose, the most important thing is to get some positive energy from chess.
