(prHWY.com) October 23, 2012 - Sioux Falls, SD -- Sioux Falls, South Dakota (October 16, 2012) - The Game Supply, a leading retailer of board games, is offering a wide range of
chess sets in different sizes and materials.
Chess, a classic game of tactics and strategy, is well over a thousand years old. Many people enjoy it not only for the mental challenge it presents, but also because they get to use beautiful boards and pieces when playing it. Chess sets, especially antique ones, are mostly made of ivory, marble, pewter, wood, or glass. The Game Supply offers premium sets made of these materials.
Wooden chess sets are very durable and require very little maintenance. Glass ones have been around for many centuries, and are made of either hand-blown glass, which is hollow and very fragile, or solid glass, which is more durable. These items vary in color, depending on the type of material used. They usually come with a mirrored board.
Marble ones are known to be the most durable and are usually used outdoors. Pieces from these sets resemble small statues. Pewter chess sets are very popular among serious collectors, as they are often works of art. Pieces made from this material are often embellished with crystals, gems, gold, and silver. Although it is very durable, pewter requires periodic maintenance and cleaning.
The Game Supply is a one-stop online resource for classic indoor, outdoor, handheld, board, and Xbox video games. They feature Sudoku, Dominos, Chinese Checkers, mahjong and backgammon sets, as well as
