New Chess Set Arrivals – Just in time for the holidays!

New for 2014 – Chess Sets and Chess Boards just in from ChessUSA!

The holidays are fast approaching and it’s always a scramble to get as many items updated with pictures and descriptions -so usually all the new arrivals would be here by now.

This year is an exception. We’ve been hard at work running against the clock to put up several new items – New Chess Sets, New Chess Boards, and some fantastic new Chess Pieces by Noj. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce you to three groups of new chess items that may make the perfect holiday gift so they don’t get lost among the 1600 other chess and game items we carry!

The New Championship and Grandmaster Kasparov Chess Sets

Several years ago we had some fantastic folding chess sets with Kasparov branding. These sets featured amazingly detailed spruce-tek chessmen and fitted storage compartments within the folding board. Sadly they were discontinued. However, the same manufacturer is back with two new Kasparov Chess items – an executive size set and a tournament size electroplated silver and bronze staunton chess set! These two sets look absolutely fantastic and make a great gift for young and old, combining a traditional style with durability, weight, and design.

This fantastic 16″ chess set features luxurious spruce-tek chess pieces and a walnut chess board complete with Kasparov plaque engraving. The extremely well weighted chessmen feature felt bottoms and have a similar look as the vastly more expensive Crimson Rosewood ranging from a near black to a deep red wine color. Although it is hard to see in some of the photos, the pieces are not actually black but have some deep red that can shine in the light. The chess board is walnut and maple with clean lines for a very traditional look.
