The ornamental theme chess sets featured at checkmatechesssets.com are handmade by skilled artisans. Upon close examination you may therefore find slight variations in colour and size within a set. It is these slight variations that make your chess set unique and specifically yours. No two of our theme chess sets are absolutely identical and the slight variations to be found should be viewed as the fingerprints that identify your theme chess set as uniquely yours and no-one else's!
