These are my Top 10 Favorite chess pins. I’m 61 and I’ve been playing chess since my Dad taught me when I was 9-years old. I won the base championship when I was stationed in Kuwait. I had to play about five to six rounds of chess, where the winner of the game advances to the next round.

My favorite is the hand-painted Winnie the Pooh Chess Set and pieces. It costs $185.00; however, unfortunately, it’s usually always out of stock.

I’m hoping that someday I come across it and it’ll available. My wife loves Winnie the Pooh and maybe that would convince her to sit down and learn how to play chess because of the beautiful craftsmanship with Winnie the Pooh.

Cats

I’m also a cat lover so there’s a couple sets of chess boards that have cats for the chess pieces.

Beautiful chess boards

The three chess pieces below all have something in common. That they’re incredible beautifully painted.

Elegant Chess Boards

The chess board on the left is crafted with some sort of fine stone and the pieces are so elegant on a mirrored chess board. The knights (horses) to the right are my favorite chess piece. The Knights are usually so cleverly designed and sometimes there’s a Knight in shining armor depicted riding the horse.

#1 Favorite Chess Board

I’m saving my favorite chess board for last. This board (below with Bonzai trees) features a couple of Bonzai trees. I don’t know if they’re real or not. My guess is that a cost of $1,500 they’re for real. Here’s the description of this beautiful crafted chess set:

$1500 · Handmade, hand carved custom themed chess set from chess set artist Jim Arnold. The chess board measures 42″ wide by 27″ across to your opponent.

On either side of the playing board there are sand gardens featuring rocks, a bridge, a walking path (for captured pieces), and three ‘live’ bonsai trees…YES they are alive and need to be watered.

The pieces are hand carved from solid Maple and Walnut and feature the Samurai King, his queen, the elder advisors, the Samurai Headress, pagodas for rooks, and gates for pawns.

Kings are about 7″ tall…pawns about 3″ tall. In the center of the board is the Kenji for Samurai. Jim Arnold specializes in creating the most unique, fun, and playable custom themed chess sets you will ever find. Private commissions welcomed…let him bring YOUR ideas for a set to life.
