Selecting the type and color of wood – After you have set a price for your chess set, you need to select the type of the wood that suits your taste the most. You can choose out of the best and luxurious wood types such as ebony wood, bud rosewood, rosewood or the evergreen ones like Sheesham and boxwood. Type of wood selected by you would also depend upon the color combination you want to have like black & red, black white, red & white etc. Select your Chess pieces – After keeping everything in your mind – the price, type of wood, design, weighted and non-weighted, and the purpose. If your primary purpose is playing speed chess, blitz etc then don’t go for heavily  weighted (quadruple or more) chess pieces at all, you can’t play a blitz or speed chess easily with heavily weighted chess pieces until & unless you are a super human. Heavily weighted chess pieces are best for décor purpose or for occasional play. Though there are hundreds of designs available at our website like Dublin pattern, minimalist pattern, upright pattern, monoblock pattern, themed chess sets etc, but for actual play, Staunton pattern design is the standard among all.

After choosing the perfect chess pieces now is the turn to choose the right field to play. If chess pieces are not matching properly with chess board then it will not give the satisfaction to a chess player. First, calculate the size of the base diameter of the widest chess piece "King" and divide it by 78%. For eg, if the base diameter of the king is 1.5"(38mm) then you should go for a square size of 1.9" (48mm) or more. The concept is if you get the King chess piece just right, other chess pieces also fit in automatically on your chess board.   To simplify your search here is the formula to calculate the right board size for you chess pieces – Calculate the base diameter of king and divide it by 78%.

Handmade wooden chessboards from ebony wood and rosewood and bud rosewood are often more expensive ones than the veneer or leather chess boards.

5 Reasons Why Collecting Chess Sets Is a Great Idea

5 Reasons Why Collecting Chess Sets Is a Great Idea

Chess is a wonderful game of intelligence and strategy. The beauty of this game is that any person, who has the understanding of this game and its moves, can play with any other person irrespective of his/her age. Though, chess comes in different qualities and material like plastic chess sets, bronze chess sets, metallic chess sets, wooden chess sets and so on, however, collecting wooden chess set has a trend which started in the 19th century. In fact, there are different people all around the world who likes to collect different chess sets as most of them differentiate from their designs, height, and color. Most of the people from clubs or serious collectors invest in most modest wooden chess sets, which is a prestige to collect for the collectors. Now, let us put down some of the main and top 5 reasons as to why collecting chess sets is a good idea: Chess sets never come with an expiry date. The chess you bought today can be preserved by your great grand children in years to come making your collection an antique one. Wood chess was introduced to this world in the 18th century and still, we can find those antique and vintage chess collections in some museums or collectors. Some of the best-preserved chess set goes for thousands of dollars in auctions. For example, famous J. Jaques of London produced the first Staunton chess set in 1849. Hundred of chess sets were manufactured, however, only a few of them are left in good condition. On popular demand from our chess collector community, we bought the reproduction of 1849 to this world and have already sold over 100 chess sets. 2. The wood chess industry is based in India and is a cottage industry. Only a few chess tuners and artisans are left making the wood chess sets a rare and collectible item for future. Having said this, many other collectible chess comes in different types like a bone set, metal chess set, marble chess set which are not as collectible as the wooden chess set. If you get bored with your chess collection, you can easily sell them online or can donate to any school or club or charity. 3. Chess set placed in a house can be a beautiful décor. Chess comes in different sizes, designs and wood types. Depending upon your décor arrangement and your wall color, you can choose between the size and wood type. According to our internal survey, held in 2016, around 35% of our customers bought the chess set for their décor purpose. Our best seller for décor is the Dragon chess set in bud rosewood. The size of this chess set is 4.6” King and the impressive dragon styled knight is the main point of attraction of this design, making it the best design for the décor purpose. Related: Antique and Vintage Chess Sets 4. Chess is the best companion and now it’s easy to take it along with you wherever you travel. Traveling some time can be a boring due to flight delays or long distance traveling. The travel chess set comes handy here. They come in different sizes and can be easily fit in our pockets. Starting from 5” size chess box, it goes all the way up to 16” chess set. Playing chess during travel will not only help you fight the boredom, but you will arrive much fresh and will also help you fight jet lag, though it is not medical proven yet. 5. When we retire, we look for some form of work that makes us busy and must be relaxing. Chess has some unbelievable advantages if you’re above 60 years of age. It will not only keep you engaged, but it also help fight some very dangerous brain diseases like brain fog, stress, anxiety and prevents Alzheimer. Though, there are many other benefits of playing chess like increasing your IQ levels etc. however, collecting these magnificent pieces of history will give you much satisfaction.

Chess Tournament Rules & Regulations: FIDE Approved Guide

Chess Tournament Rules & Regulations: FIDE Approved Guide

Most of the international chess tournaments follow a set of common rules. These rules do not necessarily be followed when we are playing the game at home or online but these rules must be followed by tournament chess players.   People who are playing at home or for leisure purposes can use economy chess pieces to start with , or if they want to play with fancy chess sets they can try luxury chess pieces. We have put together some of the most important points or rules followed in tournament chess games, which will explain some common misconceptions about tournament play and will clarify some of the rules that pertain especially to chess tournaments.     Below are the FIDE approved rules for tournament chess games:-    1. Touch-move - Touch and Move rule has to be strictly followed. If a player touches one of their own pieces then he must move that piece, if it is a legal move. If a player touches a piece of that of the opponent, then capturing that piece is a must. If you let go of a piece, you have to leave it there.   Players who wish to touch a piece only to adjust it on the chessboard must first announce the intention, usually by saying “adjust”. Chess pieces and chess boards must not be touched except the gameplay.   2. Timings and clocks - The purpose is to keep track of the total time each player takes for his own moves. The players may take more or less time over any individual move, but if one player exceeds their total available time, that player has lost the game. Another important rule is that if a player runs out of time, their opponent must point it out, and if it goes unnoticed, play continues.   A chess clock is really two separate clocks that run independently of each other. For many players, it is their first experience with clocks when they play for the tournament and hence it is of utmost importance that the players should know, how to operate these clocks. When the button on one side is pressed down, that player's clock stops and the other player's clock starts. Shop DGT 3000 Digital Chess Clock (Approved by FIDE)     3. Recording the moves - In chess tournaments, it is mandatory for both the chess players to record the moves made by them. Each chess player is required to record the chess moves in algebraic chess notation. For beginners who want to practice chess with tournament rules, we recommend plastic chess pieces with chess boards with notations to make it easy for them to see the co-ordinates and note down their moves.     When the game concludes, both the players are required to sign the scoresheet and hand it over to the organizer, if asked to do so. Recording the moves is avoided in the blitz, rapid or any kind of fast chess games because that would then take away the important thinking time of the players.   Related Blog: How to Make the Best Chess Opening Moves?   4. No interference - When the game is in progress, no third party is allowed to interfere in the game. If you are attending any chess tournament then you are allowed to walk through the playing area but provided you do that quietly. You are not allowed to make any suggestions to the players regarding their game. If you do so, it is regarded as a violation of rules. A player is also not allowed to ask for help from the audience or any other person.    Talking about no interference if someone wants to practice and self study the great chess games played by legends, we at chessbazaar also have Analysis chess sets, which you can use and easily analyze and learn from chess games.   5. Distractions – Chess is a quiet and focus-needing game!  and therefore the players need no distractions. All disturbing behaviors like making noises, talking, moving tables or chairs are forbidden. Exceptions are when you want to indicate rules violation, such as an illegal move.   Related: Tips for Improving your Chess Training Session, By A. Claudio Marcolino.   6. Illegal moves – If the chess player makes any illegal move then the Arbiter shall give an extra time of 2 minutes to the opponent player. If the same player makes the second illegal move in the same game then the Arbiter shall announce the game lost by the offending player.     7. Scoring the moves - Players are granted one point (1) for a win, a half (½) point for a draw, and no points (0) for a loss toward their tournament score. Everyone plays the same number of games. The player with the maximum number of points at the end of tournament wins.   8. Conduct of the players – All the players must observe the code of conduct that is common for all the players. Players are not allowed to take any action that will bring the game to disgrace, e.g cheating, sneaking the captured piece back. During a tournament, the use of mobile phones or other electronic means of communication is completely forbidden. If it is evident that a player brought such a device into the playing venue, he shall lose the game. Players should not distract or annoy their competitors in any way.   Finally, we would love to see you practice your first tournament style game with our tournament chess sets. Give them a dekko and we are sure you'll be amazed to see the elite craftsmanship of our experienced artisans.

Check, Checkmate & Stalemate: Everything You Need to Know

Check, Checkmate & Stalemate: Everything You Need to Know

Knowing some very important chess terms is almost inevitable for all the chess players. If you are new to the game of chess, there are certain terms that must be learned before you step on to the chess battlefield. Let us learn about these terms: Check: The term "Check" simply means or it gives the warning that the King is in danger and that the King requires immediate attention. In this situation, the player must find a way out to save its King from the approaching threat. To save the King, the player is left with three options. These are: Related: How to Make the Best Chess Opening Moves? Capture the attacking piece. Blocking the line of fire, placing a new piece between the attacking piece and the King. Moving the King from the line of fire. Checkmate or mate: If it is not possible to save the King from the above-mentioned options, then it is called "checkmate" or "mate". As King is the most valuable piece in the game of chess and if you are not able to get it out of danger, then it is checkmate and the game is over. Unfortunately, you have lost the game. Giving checkmate is the main goal of the chess player, the one who gives the checkmate is the winner. Stalemate: The game reaches such a situation when the player’s King is not checked, it’s his turn to move and his not left with any legal move. The chess rules state that this situation would bring the game to draw (i.e having no winner), no matter what advantage one side could have over the other and is called "Stalemate".                                                                                                                      Even some advanced players wonder why it does not count as a win. The reason is that the losing side cannot avoid exposing their King to check, but they are not yet in check! So be careful next time you play chess! Happy playing Chess!
