New Products: Glass Chess Sets & Premier Chess Pieces

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Here’s a quick look at two new products at Wholesale Chess this month:

Glass Chess Sets
The newest addition to the Wholesale Chess collection of chess sets, these glass chess sets are the perfect gift for any enthusiast. The translucent glass colors shimmer brightly under any light, making these sets a pure delight to play with. Each of our glass chess sets are crafted for perfection and come in a variety of colors for you to choose from.

This chess set also makes an excellent gift for friends or family without an exorbitant price. But don’t forget to treat yourself to one as well. Enhance the look of any area where you display your chess set with this beautiful set of glass board and glass pieces and be ready for compliments.

Premier Chess Pieces
Our new set of Premier Chess Pieces with a 4 1/8 tall inch king, is perfect for those discriminating chess players who want an upscale set, without an exorbitant price. You won’t find a set of such value for double the cost of this one. These Premier chess pieces have a beautiful finish. The white pieces area striking Ivory/Natural color, a shade darker than light ivory but not as dark as the caramel-color of some natural pieces. The set weighs in at a hefty 3.75 pounds. The king weighs a full 65 grams (2.2 ounces.)

Of course, as you would expect with a chess set of such quality, there is an extra queen of both colors. The king base is 1 7/8 inches so a board with 2 1/4 inch or larger squares is preferable.
