Chess has always remained a most respected game; in fact, it is revered to the point that it is considered as a royal game. It is no wonder then that this was the favoured game of the blue blooded in different countries. Whiling away a whole evening pondering over which chess piece to move and where is always considered as time well spent.
Like glasses are associated with geeks, chess is a game that has always been associated with the wise and the intelligent. Claiming to play chess is a line that people often use in a bid to appear smarter than they actually are. You may not be one of those who truly appreciate the game, but if ever you consider owning a chess set merely for the purpose of flaunting it then the Chainmail Chess Set is the one. The chess set was made by David Austin and it took him a year to complete. With 42,256 rings, the chess set weighs at just over 6kgs.
I wouldn’t recommend playing a drawn out match on this chess set; the wire-made pieces look more like armour for regular chess pieces. You don’t want to cross the King of this chess set, else you may be transported right back to the Medieval age!
