Anatomy of a Chess Set

So what does a chess set consist of? A chess set is a collection of two articles, a chess board and 32 chess pieces. The chess board can be made from various materials ranging from simple cardboard to glass, metal or even exotic hardwoods. The principle design of the chessboard is the same no matter what it's made of. That is, a grid of 8 by 8 squares arranged in a chequerboard design. The chess pieces are typically made from wood but can also be cast from metal, glass or resin. This is all that's required to play a game of chess. The pieces vary in capacity presenting them with various values within the game.

For a typical chess game each player starts with 1 King and Queen, two Bishops, 2 Knights, 2 Rooks and 8 Pawns placed in specific positions on the chequerboard. One side is usally represented by light colour pieces commonly known as the white the other side features darker pieces ususally described as the black. The familiar Staunton chess set is the typical choice for tournament and western leisure gaming although other less convetional designs are available such as Isle of Lewis, St. George and Northern Upright.
