Chess pieces are easily lost or damaged and so a great idea is to purchase a boxed chess set, a board which folds into a protective home for the pieces. Choosing one which has an ornate board and a solid functionality is a must and of course you can always change the playing pieces if you like at a later date. This Chess Armory 15 inch Wooden Chess Set has a classic look and would make the perfect battle ground for almost any themed or unadorned chess pieces you would like to choose. It is a good sized portable chess set.
