Hello,

I was thinking of buying a new chess set and found Luxury Combo sets on
Chesscenter web shop (http://www.chesscenter.com/shop/). Does anybody
have any experience on that set? Is it worth the money? If you know any
other good chess sets on the net I would be interested to know.

If you've got money to burn, go ahead and buy one of those. However, I
myself couldn't justify spending $300-$1000 on a set when you can get a VERY
nice one on EBay for a quarter of the price. Check out:

For more, search items sold by an EBay member named "thechesspiece". Good
stuff, Maynard!

Happy hunting!

Yes, they are quite expensive. I was mainly thinking about the cheapest
ones, Combo 5 (£150) or Combo 6 (£100). In the photo especially the
latter looks really nice but then I noticed that the photograph is
identical with Combo 3... I asked about it from the Chesscenter but
didn't get a proper answer.

Thanks for the tip, Matt!

If you don't mind buying from the US, there are two places I'd look
for nice staunton sets.

www.houseofstaunton.com

www.chesstopia.com

Both are great to deal with and they have a wide range of nicer sets
available.

Check out the British Chess Magazine shop (www.bcmchess.co.uk).
Their sets look very nice, and they are cheaper than at Chesscenter. I
don't have one though, so I don't know what they're like to play with.
