The most “beautiful” chess sets, are usually not the best for analyzing and setting up multiple move combinations. Your average Staunton USCF set has a 3.75 inch king, and the squares are 2.25 inches. The colors are perfectly designed for lucidity, not beauty. Your standard tournament Staunton set appears bland, compared to the fancy expensive sets used by weekend players; duffers and patzers in chess nomenclature. This is similar to “functional eating" in bodybuilding, vs eating solely for taste.

Hey)
It seems to me that when you watch chess sets here, you cannot choose the most beautiful one, especially if you are a professional chess player, then you should think with your head before buying another set.
