My Parts: You need to be logged in to see your Set List. Chess is a board game for two players, believed to have originated in North-West India during the Gupta empire, where its early form in the 6th century was known as Caturaṅga. The modern form of the game has emerged from Europe during the second half of the 15th century. The game is played on a Chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. To begin the game, pieces are placed for each player on opposing ends of the board. Each player controls sixteen pieces; one King, one Queen, two Rooks, two Knights, two Bishops, and eight Pawns. The object of the game is to Checkmate the opponent's King, whereby the King is under immediate attack, and there is no way to remove or defend it from the attack on the next move. The LEGO Group have released several chess setups consisting of LEGO bricks and Minifigures as well as chess computer games. All of the chess sets involved minifigures from medieval-inspired themes such as Knights' Kingdom II or Vikings, while the computer games offered a greater diversity by including figures from themes like Pirates or Western.

It would be a dream to own this! Orc army versus Dwarves and knights - intricate designs, rare pieces, cool look... The range of Chess Sets, made by LEGO include the: Fantasy Era Giant LEGO Chess Set LEGO Vikings Chess Set LEGO Knights Chess Set We'll start with the 'biggie' ... Cost: Circa $600 (you may now say "yikes") You're going to get this if: 1) Money's no object; 2) You LOVE LEGO; 3) You're a collector of LEGO; 4) You like things BIG and shiny and like to show off; 5) You've got kids and have caved into the insufferable might of 'pester power'. Keeping with LEGO traditions of building the products yourself, before your kids (or you) can knuckle down to a game of Chess, you need to put the individual blocks and pieces together ...
All 2000+ of them! It looks very impressive ... That said, when it comes to 'playability', the excessively large Pieces (I'm thinking of the Rooks, in particularly), may be cumbersome to move about the Chessboard. This LEGO Castle Chess Set is less cumbersome than the Giant set, mentioned above. Being smaller, it also has fewer parts to put together, before your games of Chess can be played. Comparing the Giant set with the Viking set, you'll notice a difference between the surface of the two LEGO Chessboards ... The Giant set is nice and smooth, whereas this Viking set has the customary LEGO 'bobbles' (for want of a better word) ... In normal LEGO sets, these are to help fix the LEGO bricks together, without being too tough for children's fingers to prise apart easily. The same approach is used for keeping the LEGO Chess men upright ... Having to keep pressing the Pawns & Pieces into the Chessboard, just might get a tad annoying after a while. This LEGO Castle Chess Set plays on the theme of Knights of "ye olde times" ...
Everything else is pretty much the same as with the Viking Set, mentioned above - fewer parts; potentially-annoying LEGO 'bobbles', for keeping the Chessmen upright.
