Would anyone know where I might be able to purchase a SINGLE Chess piece to replace one that was broken? It was a rather expensive bishop, and I was hoping to replace the guy without having to purchase a whole marble set. Thanks for any information.

Marble?! That'll teach ya! 😉

I'm assuming that you either already tried the original manufacturer or don't know who it was. If the piece didn't shatter and it was a clean break, is it possible that some special glue could be used to glue it back?

I wouldn't like your chances of finding a replacement piece, but if ChessUSA sells the set that you have, they might be your best bet. They're in New York, and it's an honest-to-goodness real store.
