The game of Chess is played on a board with 64 squares arranged in an eight by eight grid.

Chess as we know it today emerged during the second half of the 15th century from Europe.

Officially sanctioned Chess championships started in the 16th century and produced Vsiwanathan Anand as the first recognized World Chess Champion.

You can find many different styles of Chess sets and they range from being inexpensive to really pricy. It all depends on the type of set it is and what it is made from.

The sets are made from materials such as glass, ivory, marble, wood and many other substances. Inexpensive sets are made from plastic.

Some sets are hand crafted from fine materials and can be rare and extremely valuable.
