Some of you have noticed the chess books I sometimes have in my reading list. I've never been any good at chess, but I like to follow the game and appreciate its mathematical nature; and I certainly like a decent set. The two big sets I own are a simple Staunton I got from my mother as a graduation present, and a replica of the elaborate Harry Potter set from the first film of the series that I found at the local Menkind, made by a company called Noble.
Here's a video I just found on the Youtube about a show of chess sets from around the world. There are no ordinary sets on show, but the eastern sets are easily the best and most detailed.
