Ok, it is the final week before Christmas and the time is running out before the deadline for getting your chess set to you is running out!
We have updated all items to the 12 Days of Christmas page. There are some really nice and economical sets and items ready to go.
As usualy, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help you choose the right set for you.
No TagsWell, I have never done this in the past, but what the heck. We have a lot of overflow in our warehouse that we need to get rid of be fore the end of the year. So we are going to have an end of the year clearance on some of our items that we need to reduce inventory.
This is not going to be for just the holiday season, but rather is going to last for the rest of the year.
We have to get rid of both chess sets and backgammon sets. There are some really nice items to get a hold of, both for yourself or as a gift.
The clearance items can be found here.
No TagsOn the first day of Christmas, BraRoe Chess gave to me:
Sheesham Classic Staunton Chess Set with Walnut and Maple Chest
Normally listed for $159.95, we are knocking this down to $95.95 for Christmas.
This really is a steal. The chess pieces, made from sheesham and boxwood, are well-made for long-term use and joy for whoever brings these pieces into their home. The king leads the way at 3.25 inches. The Queen and the Kngiht follow with specific details. All the pieces have billiard-quality felt on the bottom, giving that glising feeling when you move the pieces across the board.
The chess board increases your convenience by doubling as a storage case, with sections for ech individual piece. When you are ready to bring the pieces out to play, you will set the pieces on a board of maple alternating with walnut. A light colored inlaid stripe accent the board before the dark colored frame.
At this price, we cannot guarentee that these will stick around, and when they are gone, they are gone!
Chess Sets, Christmas DealsI am very happy to announce that we are bringing back our “12 Day of Christmas Chess Set Sale.” It was so well received last year that there would have been no way for us not to bring it back again.
How it works is simple, starting on Thursday, December 4, we will select an item from our catalog and place it on even further discount than our current sale. Think of it as a daily door-buster. Each day, we will repeat the process until we have selected 12 items. Here is the thing, any item that has been selected, will remain at the discounted price throughout the event, through December 19! There is the potential to pick-up some really good deals.
We are going to try to open up what we are selecting, so it will include chess set, pieces, boards and backgammon playing needs.
The item of the day will be announced every morning on our homepage at http://www.braroechess.com, and will be announced here as well.
Don’t wander too far either; there may still be some thing hiding up out sleeves between now and Christmas…
Chess Sets, Christmas Deals, On line ShoppingI just wanted to drop a line about the current match-up in Championship Chess. Two masters of the chess set, former Champion Vladimir Kramnik has been granted the right to regain his title against current champion Viswanathan Anand. It is scheduled as a 12 game match that began on October 14, in Bonn, Germany.
People have been waiting for the match between Anand and Kramnik for months now, and 5 games into the series, there is no one that has been disappointed. Many experts in chess circles believe that Kramnik was going to be able to handle Anand and that he would be able to emerge the World Champion.
After the first 5 matches, many are surprised to see that Anand has an impressive lead of 3.5 - 1.5. What is even more impressive is that both of his outright victories have come when he was playing black. As a matter of fact, 2 of the last 3 matches have been decided with Anand playing Black to victory.
The series is certainly not over yet, and I know that no one is prepared to count Kramnik out. But I have to ask, was anyone expecting Anand to have 2 point lead after 5 matches?
chess, Chess World ChampionshipI recently checked out the world’s most expensive chess set. It’s quite the site to behold and possibly covet. Valued at almost nine million dollars, it would make quite the addition to any chess enthusiast’s collection. No other chess set screams “luxury” quite like a chess set that has been made of gold and platinum and then highlighted with diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls. If chess has a decadent side then this is surely it. This gives me mixed feelings.
Is a chess set supposed to be so over the top? Should it be simple yet beautiful and not be the center-piece of the room? I would have to wonder if there is really any point in spending millions of dollars for just one board game. Any chess set will due if you truly play the game to play the game. One might argue that such a chess set brings a flashiness to chess that does not have any place in the world of chess. The game starts to lose its meaning when we go for love of the look over love of the game.
Then again, maybe this is just the perfect tribute to chess. This board could be seen as the most expensive homage to chess ever to be constructed. Maybe instead of trying to be flashy and stylish, someone decided to glorify the game with some of the most precious materials in the world the way no one has ever done before.
So, I walk away from seeing the world’s most expensive chess set wondering what the motives were behind such a set and whether they were worth it.
