Thanks for stopping by our chess board games blog, where we discuss chess strategies and how to play chess games. Our new year's resolution is to make more frequent updated, so please feel free to tell us what you'd like to see, and we'll do out best to accommodate. We'll soon be starting a chess weekly feature: innovative or unique chess set games will be highlighted each week.

This is the game I used to build up my chops. I know of some people who prefer to play online, but nothing beats being able to handle pieces in real life as you play against a computerized opponent.  I read quite a few reviews on this, and ended up buying it because it's durable , high-quality, and scalable to all user levels.

It also has a neat training mode that helps to drill you on tactics and enables you to put into practice the techniques you've learned through courses like the Grandmaster course I recommend. This training mode is phenomenal. When I first started, I was rated around a 7 or 8, but after picking up the Grandmaster course and using this chess board set, I was able to improve my rating into the 20's. That's a HUGE jump.

Hey, this board is endorsed by Garry Kasparov, by the way!
