Who didn't love Lego as a child? I for one had 5 drawers full of Legos, which should have been used for clothes normally. I built up cities, football teams, flying fantasy ships, cars and airplanes, but never thought of building up a chess set. Here we have it though. This set includes over 1,400 pieces and the chess board measures over 26 cm.

Chess Structure Cubo Capablanca
Master Class Vol.4: José Raúl Capablanca
He was a child prodigy and he is surrounded by legends. In his best times he was considered to be unbeatable and by many he was reckoned to be the greatest chess talent of all time: Jose Raul Capablanca, born 1888 in Havana.

As you might be able to guess already, we are diving into a luxury product now. Maybe it is, because there might only be 100 copies of this chess set available in the world? Perhaps it is, because it was designed by the Zarpa team in the 70s following the chess games of the great Grandmaster Capablanca? There is one flaw though — No chess board included!

The Armenian artist Tigran Sarkisyan has made numerous, beautiful handcrafted chess sets. In the picture, we see former Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. We know, by now, how much Armenia loves chess.
