Cheap set..

Actually this isn't my ideal for show set. That would be a pirate vrs. ninja set I saw at a store back home. Unfortunatly, that one is $140 and I would still need a board. =( The brass one is also a nice colectors item but potentially damaged and much cheaper.

Are you mad or did you buy a giant chess set to play in your garden?

In the USCF catalog, some fancy schmancy chess sets made out of "premium mohagany wood" or soemthing like that costs about $5000. And it doesn't even come witha board.

Here's a good, inexpensive set that I use.

When I bought it about a year ago they used to offer a bigger bag. One of the weights has fallen out (I had to tape it back in) but overall worth the price.
