No body wants a chess set that is not going to last. It is not an item that you buy thinking that you will have to replace it in a few years. No, when you buy a chess set, the thought is that it will survive the day-to-day playing that is expected of it. And why not? You can find a traditional set for upwards of $600. For that, it better last!
That being said, there comes the general notion that an expensive chess set is needed to have a good quality chess set. No, if you focus on and pay attention to a few things, you can find a reliable chess set for under $100.
The first thing that you will notice is that the material that you choose will have an impact on the price you will pay. For example, there are so very few metal chess sets that are available for sets under $100. Honestly speaking, the raw materials for metal chess sets are so high that you will be hard pressed to find one to purchase for under $150, but it is not impossible. Also alabaster will not be available as a material. There are a few Marble Chess Sets that are available for around $100.
Your best bet will be the old standby, the wooden Staunton chess set. There are a number of wooden games that are available at a very reasonable price. The majority of these will be made from Sheesham and Boxwood. Boxwood is the wood used almost exclusively for the white pieces in any wood chess set. Sheesham is used as a wood that is stable and workable. It is a light to medium brown color. It provides a nice contrast to the boxwood. Even though Rosewood is more expensive than Sheesham, there are still some sets that are available for under $100. The most difficult wood to get a hold of would be Ebony. There is an alternative though - Ebonized chess pieces. They are Boxwood pieces that are deep stained to black.
So, you see, there are still a number of chess set that are available for the reasonable price of $100 or less. The materials that you select and the style of chess set you want will have the biggest impacts on your options. But, it is a worthy effort, to find a quality chess set that will last for a rational price to enjoy this most stories game.
