Adversary Set

The Most Popular Themed Chess Sets

When considering the purchase of a new chess set people often consider the question: What are The Most Popular Themed Chess Sets?

Of course the popularity of themed chess sets varies in line with broad trends in general fashion and society. Having said that there are of course perennial favourites that really never go out of fashion. The list of themed chest sets below highlight a mixture of these long term favourites and some more fashionable inclusions:

Simpsons – Based on the long running and hugely successful cartoon show this quality pewter chess set features some of your favourite characters. The highlight is seeing Homer as the King but of course Marge, Bart and Lisa also feature. Whilst it can be argued that the Simpsons themed pewter chess set is something of a fashion item the longevity of the show suggests otherwise.

Star Wars – As Star Wars has a strong battle / conflict based theme running through it it is a strong base for a themed chess set. The forces of the Jedi and their adversaries are represented in the set with Luke, Darth Vader, Han Solo and the rest of the leading characters appearing.
Lord of the Rings – In a similar vein to the Star Wars chess set Lord of the Rings is an absolute classic as a basis for a set – two distinct sides, a theme of conflict and easily recognisable characters. Again all the characters you would expect to see in such a set are present – Gandalf, Bilbo, Sauron, Orcs, Elves etc are all represented.

Transformers – based on the cartoon series but really brought to prominence through the success of the comparatively recent blockbuster movies. Optimus Prime leads the Autobots and Megatron leads the Decepticons – battle lines are drawn in exactly the same way as the movie. The human characters are also represented – Sam, Mikeala etc

Marvel Heroes – always a firm favourite with young and old alike the Marvel Heroes chess set has a broad spectrum of characters that will appeal to a broad spectrum of Marvel fans. Featuring The Hulk, Spiderman and Captain America amongst others. Again this is a high quality pewter chess set that should give a lifetime of use and enjoyment.

As can be seen even form the short list outlined above there is a wide choice of styles and options available when you want to purchase a themed chest set. These of course are not your only options when considering a chess et but are merely intended to give an indication of the range available.

The familiarity and popularity of the characters can help make chess more accessible to non players (especially young ones) and help get them involved in playing the game. In addition to this the sets can form decorative pieces within the home – often forming talking points when visitors call round. Some of the rarer, limited edition sets may also prove to be good long term investments but I would not advocate buying a set for just this reason.

All in all a themed chest set can be a valuable and useful addition to the home providing useful entertainment, exercise for the brain and a nice decorative fashion.
