Did you know that the colourful history of Ivory Chess Sets is actually famous with a lot of historians? These Ivory pieces have actually been passed down from several of generations already. Ivory was actually one of the first materials used to make chess pieces.
Do you know anything about the Staunton chess set? Let me say for one thing it is on one of the firsts in the world of chess. Have you been to a museum lately? To be specific, the British Museums? They actually have chess pieces dating back from the 7th and 8th centuries, when the earth was still young of course. These chess pieces differed in terms of appearances because it reflected the different societies. Going back to the Staunton chess sets, they were made by Nataniel Cook and John Jaques. These chess pieces are the one standard in today's lives.
If you've notice, neither one of us uses Ivory chess pieces anymore. The reason behind this is because of its cost and availability. A standard ivory chess set would cost a minimum of $900 while a vintage version of the same kind may cost up to $1000 or more. Please take in mind that Ivory chess sets are the hardest to find this is the reason why people came up with plastic chess sets. Ivory is also rarely used today due to the animal rights acts published per country.
So the main reason why Ivory chess pieces are seldom made is due to the fact that more and more poachers kill mammoths and elephants just to make use of the ivory in their teeth. There are several ivory imitations in which are good alternatives and are also less expensive plus it is environmental and nature friendly. Always remember, Ivory Chess Sets are collector's items so be ready with the other competitions you might deal with.
Collecting Chess Pieces can actually be as exciting as playing the chess game itself. This includes various methods on how to get those "must have" antique chess sets. The down side about this hobby is you would need to be putting a lot of effort in order to succeed.

Chess Problem $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A chess problem, also called a chess composition, is a puzzle set by somebody using chess pieces on a chess board, that presents the solver with a particular task to be achieved. For instance, a position might be given with the instruction that white is to move first, and checkmate black in two moves against any possible defense. A person who creates such problems is known as a composer. There is a good deal of specialized jargon used in connection with chess problems; see chess problem terminology for a list. The term chess problem is not sharply defined: there is no clear demarcation between chess compositions on the one hand and puzzles or tactical exercises on the other. In practice, however, the distinction is very clear. There are common characteristics shared by compositions in the problem section of chess magazines, in specialist chess problem magazines, and in collections of chess problems in book form.
