Chess is a boring game to the audience especially to those who do not know the rules of the game itself. Here nobody makes a noise as it could ruin the concentration of the players and their game plan. Unlike basketball and football, fans do not cheer wildly on this mentally draining game. You only stare at monochromatic wood pieces and monochromatic checkered board. Everything is so dreary and dry.
But when creative artists come into the scene, chess games become fun and lively not mainly because of the amusement that the game itself provides, but the flavor it adds to the playing board. Thus, it dissipates the belief that the game is all about dull mental battle but on a more positive side, an exciting game that can make the participants relax and smile in a more light hearted and fun environment. Introducing cool and creative chess set designs from different artists.
So here, we are sharing with you some out of this world and uniquely designed chess sets which are, in many ways, more inviting to stare at than traditional chess pieces you’ve seen before. If you are a creative or merely a chess player with an eye for art, this one is for you. Happy viewing!

JulianThis post certainly does well in showing off some of the most interesting and creative chess sets. I dread to think how much the camera lens set would cost.

SonnyYou’re welcome Jim! You indeed have a lot of amazingly creative chess sets that you personally made. When I cast my eyes on your collection, I could not help but include them in this article. All of them are of the highest quality and truly things to behold. Also it’s good to know that you still have a lot of chess sets that I fail to include here. Thanks for informing us. Good luck to your artistic endeavors!
