Native American Theme Chess Set Pieces

These Native American Theme Chess Set Pieces depict the woodland Indians VS the plains Indians. The Kings for both sides are powerful tribal chiefs, and the queens are the chiefs wife. The Bishops in the Native American theme chess set are the tribal medicine men. I'm Guessing that this chess set represents pre-colonized America because neither tribe has horses for the knights. The Native American peoples had no horses until after America was Colonized, horses revolutionized the Indian.

The Rook for the plains Indians in this theme chess set is a tepee and for the woodland Indians is a wooden hutch. The pawns are the young men of the tribes known as braves, both sides of pawns are in their respective dress and also wearing war paint.

See for yourself the great detail of this Indian theme chess set.

Napoleon Theme Chess Set

It's Napoleon VS Wellington in this theme chess set. These theme chess set pieces were made to depict the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon is the General of the French army and the Duke of Wellington is the commander of the opposing forces.

With the Napoleon historic theme chess set you will have the opportunity to take control of your army and fiddle with history. Who will have the dominating army in this theme chess set?

Theme Chess Set, Celtic

The Celtic theme chess set pieces are designed after the old Celts. This theme chess set is det in about 1014 AD. The Celtic chess set is very accurate as to dress and weapons. The Celts were known for their large heavy weapnons, and their lightly clad, agile footman. The Celts were the masters of hit and run.

Playing the dark side of the theme chess set is the sea raiding Norseman, otherwise known as Vikings. The Vikings were most well know for raiding the shores of europe, most notably Ireland, France, England and Italy. These raiders were known as The Sea Wolves, no one knew where they would strike next. Great detail and the costumes and figures are historically accurate, this is a really stimulating theme battle chess set!

Gladiator Theme Chess Set

I would tend to think that this Gladiator theme chess set is a depiction of the Spartacus gladiator rebellion against Rome (others think differently). If you look closely you can see its Rome VS the Gladiators. all the heavy Roman infantry VS the lightly clad, agile gladiators. No other event in history that I can think of looks more like this scene.

But anyway, down to the description of the Gladiator chess set. All the Gladiators are lightly clad in cloth tunics, the pawns bearing sheilds. The Romans are heavily clad in armor, their pawns look like an impenetrable wall of steel, their bishops are Roman diplomats, the knights are astride of a rearing steed. The king is also heavily clad in armor, a sight not often seen in Roman theme chess sets.

Whatever your historical opinion may be, I would agree that this chess set is pretty good looking (if it wasn't I would not even write about it).

American Animal Chess Set

A stunning display of American wildlife. Displaying incredible workmanship; the American Animal theme chess set is marvelousqly detailed. Lifelike and depictive, the animal theme chess set is also practical, many theme chess sets leave you guessing as to which piece is which. When theme chess sets are like that they still look good, but make a game of chess rather difficult. But not the American Animal chess set. The base of each theme chess piece has a symbol on it that easily defines that piece's rank.

Down to individual hairs, these theme chess pieces are a pleasure just to look at. Take a look at the photo! They would truly be a joy to own!

Cats and Dogs Theme Chess Set

This chess set has a great look and feel to it. The theme chess pieces are made of non-weighted synthetic resin. The designers of this cats and dogs theme chess set have gone extreme into detail with this theme chess set, a fantastic job indeed.

The Dogs:

The King on the Dogs side of the theme chess set is the Great Dane, the Great Dane is the biggest of the dog breeds. The great Dane is usually a large good tempered animal, just don't mess with the master! And in this case that would be the person using the dogs side of the theme chess set. The Queen of the dogs in the cats and dogs theme chess set is a pure white French Poodle. The Rooks are dog houses, the bishops are Saint Bernard's, the knights are Boxers and last but not least the pawns are aggressive looking German Sheppards.

The Cats:

I don't know much about cat breeds, so I will leave the identification of the cats to my readers, and I will Describe their attributes, fair enough? The king of the cats in the cats and dogs theme chess set is a stately looking tom cat of some sort. He sits poised, proud, with his crown on and very royal looking; like only a cat can. The Queen of the cat theme chess pieces looks to me like a persian cat. She to stands proudly, but with more grace than the king, like the king the queen also wears a crown. The bishops in the cat theme chess set are black cats... I do know what kind of cat the knights are, they are the sassy siamese cats, you can tell they are ready to bring the "cats rule and dogs drool" statement from Homeward Bound. Which by the way is a great movie for animal lovers and kids to watch. The rooks are raised cat beds. And the pawns are white kittens.

Take a look at the photo and see for yourself the detail put into these theme chess pieces. Also here is more statistical description of the Cats and Dogs Theme Chess Set.

Marble Cat Theme Chess Set

This marble cat theme chess set has great detail, and feels great. The marbelized cat theme chess pieces are one of a kind, the felines stand poised and ready for a dignified game of chess. Each theme chess piece in the marble cat theme chess set is distinctly marked, the king has a crown on his head and stands proudly with his head erect. The queen cat also holds a proud poise, but in a more gracefull way, both the king and the queen have goldden crowns on their heads, and the queen cat has a golden heart. If you are familiar with cats you will immediatly recognise the body language of the knight, the laid back ears of the knight chess piece gives the impression that the cat is in an aggressive pose. This aggressive pose that the knight has ensures that you will always be able to identify it as the knight every time. Besides the aggressive pose of the knight, there is also a licence on the knight kitty in the shape of a horse shoe. The bishop cat in this theme chess set is poised with arched back with a little golden bishop hat on his head. The Rook looks like a classic Staunton design, but with one differance. The gate entrance to the rook in this theme chess set, is actually a kitty door! And finally the pawn; the pawn in the cat theme chess set is, just like in regular Staunton style chess sets, is smaller than all the royal chess pieces behind them. The pawns are all little kittens with small golden caps.

Truely a good looking chess set, they are also fairly durable, with no super breakable protruding sculpting. You would not have a problem keeping this cat theme chess set nice looking, it would stay pretty much the same over time.

Take a look at the beautiful sculpting job on the Cat Theme Chess Set! It really is breathtaking, and it takes on extra meaning for cat lovers.

Russian Theme Chess Pieces

Fame Products have chosen well in picking the opposing sides of this theme chess set. It's Russian VS Mongol's theme chess pieces, the Russian and Mongolian empires were constantly at war, the Russians are known as steady soldiers capable of living in harsh conditions and long marches. The Mongols are well known for their cunning evil tactics, and their extremely light armed mobile troops.

The Russians are heavily armed, the pawns are swordsman wearing heavy chain mail armor, the knights in this theme chess set, on the Russian side are mounted on a mighty white steed that is rearing high into the air. The King represents a heavily armed Czar, the Czar's were powerful Russian rulers that are the equivalent of a king. The bishop on the Russian side is a statesman. The Russian queen is the Czar's wife. And the Rook is a beautiful piece of Russian architecture.

The Mongolian Forces had the run of almost every country in Europe and Asia. For a time the Mongols were the very terror of all Euorope and Asia. When the Russians and other country's tried to strike back, the Mongols just weren't there to hit. Fast moving and elusive the Mongols were fearsome enemies and had no respect of life. The king of the Mongols was a Kahn the most notable of the Kahns was Genghis Khan who united the Mongol tribes to sweep across Europe and Asia. The Queen in this theme chess set is the Khan's head wife. The Rook in this theme chess set is the royal tent, the Mongols are a nomadic people, having no permanent dwelling, making them extremely hard to counterstrike at. The Knight in this theme chess set is one of the fabled Mongol horse archers, these Mongol horse archers were most famous for their ability to shoot their bows while retreating. They would often charge infantry shooting their bows, then sharply turn and fire while they dashed back to safety. The bishop is a Mongolian ambassador. And the pawns are the sturdy, lightly armed Mongolian spearman.

Lord of the Rings Theme Chess Set

Battle for middle board! The Lord of the Rings theme chess set is a very popular chess set, and with good reason, almost everyone is familiar with Lord of the Rings the movie. Lord of the Rings was written by the J.R.R. Tolkien With this Lord of the Rings theme chess set you have the chance to command the dark forces of Mordor to rule the chessboard. And you can play with white, which has the fellowship of the ring characters, by your genius destroy the evil forces of Mordor. I guess I am making it more dramtic than it is. Anyway this theme chess set, like all Studio Anne Carlton chess sets has great detail to it.The characters were also wisely chosen to fulfill their role in this theme chess set, just have a look at the picture!

Fisherman Theme Chess Set

The fisherman theme chess set, this theme chess set is all about freshwater fisherman VS saltwater fisherman! I know some people have a preferance in fishing, me? I am happy fishing anywhere! Anyway this fisherman chess set is great! the detail of each individual piece shows amazing craftmanship. A largemouth bass is the king of the freshwater fish and a tarpon is the king of the salt water fish. Truly spectacular detailing, wooden chess game box it comes in is very high class as well. All the pieces fit nicely inside the box for protection and storage.

I really like the rooks, the saltwater rook is an ocean liner, cruising up a wave. And the freshwater rook is a lake/river fishing boat, it looks like its jetting full throttle upstream to get to that river bar! For river fishing I like a flat bottom jet sled best, but you see all kinds on the river... One time on a fishing trip to Canada, I saw a sadly underpowered, very old, Lund dinghy, (I couldn't call it anything else) trying to head upstream with 4 guys in it! It had a 12 horse motor with a prop on it, they wanted to go upstream because that was where the good fishing was. I was shaking my head in disbelief as they put-putted out of the backwater, into the current. They got into the middle of the current and gave it all they had! You should have seen the seating arrangement! it was hilarious, three of the four guys were near the back of the boat and the fourth was nearer the front. You can guess what happened... the bow went straight up in the air! Meanwhile they are trying to head upstream, and that 12 horse is working like 20 clydesdales! but that doesn't do the job, they start going down stream slowly. they are still pointed upstream... still... finally the pilot thinks he's going downstream... He turns the boat downstream to a river bar further down. They all land the boat and get into a huddle to consult. Finally after a while they come up with a game plan. 2 of them get in the boat and head up river, they make it to the bar higher up... 3 trips later they are all on the higher river bar fishing together.

Sorry for that little rabit trail... Anyway, this is a theme chess set that looks great in a den or living room. It really brings a sporty flavor to a room.

Don't get me wrong about Lund though. They have some good boats to. Their older models are a bit rickety though. I'm an Alumaweld guy personally though.

Hunter Theme Chess Set

"Wow!", that what I thought when I first spotted these American theme chess sets. The entire American theme chess set series are the most detailed, life-like series of theme chess sets I have seen yet! They are simply stunning.

Hunter Theme Chess Set:

The hunter theme chess set is whitetail deer hunters VS elk hunters, the pawns for white, are white tail deer, the white king is dressed in hunter orange with black fading spots on his coat and pants. All the white kings compadre's are dressed in hunter orange with fading spots as well, but each are equipped with their own hunting gear, all are ready for action. The rooks are little log cabins, the log cabins have little chimneys that poke out over the roof, these chimneys are so real looking, I can almost imagine smoke coming out of them. Yeah, you can see individual little bricks in the chimneys, that is how well made this theme chess set is made.

Here is something that really stands out about this theme chess set. Both sides, both black and white, each have different styles to them, the black rooks, pawns, kings, bishops, knights, queens, all look different than the opposing side. No it's not just that they are different colors, they actually have different styles!

The black pawns are all elk, the pawns in this theme chess set are truly amazing. The black king and his cohorts are all dressed in bright hunter orange jackets and hats, with black pants. Each unit carries the essential equipment that every hunter needs, binoculars, backpacks, no doubt loaded with camping supplies, the rooks are little green tents, they look an aweful lot like old army surplus tents.

Getting to the end of the description I just realized what a kick this chess set really is! The white side with the whitetail deer on it, the hunters are actually hunting the elk, and vice versa! And while I was writing that, I realize that they shoot each other to! better not let one of those pawns put your king in check! Thats just not right, deer putting hunters in check!

Anyway, cool chess set.

For many Americans the Civil War is the main historic event in their lives, that war is still waging in many hearts today, well maybe not that way for most, but most have a feeling about it that can't be easily expressed in an article, at least not by me.

The Simpsons Chess Set

Some crackpot decided to make a theme chess set using The Simpsons TV show characters, personally I think The Simpsons TV show is rather stupid, brainless, and even worse, pointless... As far as I know the Simpsons chess set is the only way to watch The Simpsons without getting more retarded. In fact this chess set is so dumb it makes you look twice, probably one of the reasons it sells so well, playing chess with The Simpsons Chess Set gives a whole new meaning to "a casual game of chess". So here you have it, The Simpsons chess set, in full blooded battle array, Homer and Marge ready to back you up from hell to breakfast! Well Homer will at least to breakfast! The so called "king" is Homer Simpson, he stands 3 1/4 inch's tall in his regal robes, with his perpetual white tee shirt and blue jeans while holding his scepter and beer can... this is a very unusual chess set in more than one sense... The queen is taller than the king! The queen is of course Marge Simpson, she needs a haircut... The rook is Lisa Simpson, the bishop is Brat Simpson, (oops I meant Bart). The knight is Herschel Krustofski (how he got knighted i'll never know). and last is the pawn Maggie Simpson, actually shes hugging onto the side of a pawn with her usual baby bink in her mouth. thats all I have to write about The Simpsons chess set, enjoy.

Animal Battle Chess Sets are very popular as well, the range from the famous cats and dogs battle chess set endangered species battle chess set. These animal battle chess sets are perfect to decorate an outdoorsy type of sitting room, or even a farmhouse sitting room (there is a barnyard battle chess set). My personal favorite is the Dinosaur Themed Battle Chess Set, these titans stand face to face looking at each other so intensely they seem to be begging you to play a game of chess, the kings are the great T Rex leading their pre-historic brothers into battle. I don't know maybe I like this battle chess set best because I have always liked dinosaurs. The animal battle chess set figures are so life like that it is amazing, looking at them it almost seems like they are eyeing the opposing team, sizing them up, waiting for the game to begin.
