Ralph Lauren Hammond Chess Set

Chess boards are one of the most artistic and expressive games a person can own, often becoming part of a room's decor scheme and its design serving to say a little something about the owner. Ralph Lauren's Hammond Chess Set takes a sleek, minimalistic approach by serving up the classic game in contemporary blackened nickel, black leather and walnut. Of course the box is also meant to hold and store all the pieces and, designated a rare collector's item, each board is numbered on a logo-etched plaque under the lid. 16" x 16" x 2 1/2", $1995.

Speaking as a chess player, that is an absolutely lousy design. The pieces of a chess set should be immediately recognizable. This is a chess set for affectation, not for use.
