The Colorado Springs Chess Club sent me over pictures of this superhero chess set. This is a very cool chess set. This chess set has character divided in Marvel vs. DC comic teams for the comic book enthusiasts out there.

Skeleton Key Chess Set
This week’s unique chess set has a Halloween theme…being that October is the spookiest of all the months. The Chess set above is the Skeleton Key Chess Set, and for good reason. All of the pieces are keys and there are slots in the board for them to be inserted into with every move.
I was not able to find the artists deeper meaning behind the board; but was able to come up with a quote for this chess set: “Unlock a new possibility with every move.” This super cool chess set was designed by Dave Pickett.
Cool Chess Sets- High Octane Chess Set
Every player wants a chess board that is unique to them. People who love Star Wars will get a Star Wars themed chess set, people who like Lego will make a chess set out of Legos, and people who really like building cars will build a car parts themed chess set; which is what this is. Built by Rev Rods, this set is unique because of its use of car parts. You can find a list of which parts were used to build each specific piece as well a more pictures of this cool chess set here.
Cool Chess Sets- Alice Chess Set
Wow! This is one of the coolest chess sets I have ever seen. What makes this chess set unique is not just that the chess pieces “disappear” when they are lifted off of the chess board, but that the artist who created it actually had a meaning for this. Long story short, with some creative thinking Yasmin Sethi, the artist who created this chess set, was able to make it so that when the pieces are off the board, they are indistinguishable. The meaning behind this is that a piece that is off the board, whether it is a Queen or Pawn, is the same… Insignificant! You should never waste time thinking about the pieces off the chess board and always focus on what is going on on the chess board. I would take some time to check out the details and more pictures of this chess set here.
Cool Chess Sets- Chess Set 4000-FM
This is a very cool chess set, it is 3d with a 2d appeal. It looks slick and makes sure that all the pieces are easily distinguishable. The pieces are made from soft calfskin leather and the board is made of pear-tree. The slots in the board hold the pieces perfectly to give the board a neat look whether you are starting the game or in the middle of the battle. Check out more about his board here.
