I've got a wonderful travel set, about the size of your two hands out palm up. Magnetic pieces inside. Very short plastic pieces, but nice design. The box is lined with leather on the outside, and simulated woodgrain inside.

I also have a nice set I just brought back from St. Martin. Just a couple ranks and files larger, and hand carved stone. Staunton looking, but still unique.

I've got another 8 or so sets, including a glass set I got for 10 bucks... but these are my nicest.

when i was younger, i used to oogle at the chess sets in my local john lewis store - there was, like, sherlock holmes ones and alice in wonderland ones and all sorts!

currently, i play with a cheap travel set. it does the trick...

I have a glass chess set at home, just like this one:

I also once saw chess pieces, that was like some sort of fantasy style.. it did look weird!

Has anyone ever played battlechess on the computer its gr8.

My favourite set is a cold war relic I picked up in Moscow many years ago: instead of black and white it's stars and stripes vs hammers and sickles. Dated but cool 😉
