			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days, chess sets come in all forms. The pieces and boards come in various sizes. The materials they&#8217;re made of vary as well. With each one of them being unique, shopping can get quite confusing. However, if you wish to stick to something that looks exquisite and timeless, pick an alabaster chess set. It&#8217;s popular for both casual players and serious players.</p>
<p>Alabaster, or gypsum, is a type of stone used in the world of sculpturing throughout history. They&#8217;ve been used for carving statues, religious icons, altarpieces, ornaments and many others. In fact, you can see lots of them in museums. These days, architects and interior decorators alike incorporate this stone into their craft. Chess sets crafted from alabaster, when not used in play, can be an excellent decor for your living space or workspace.</p>
<p>There are so many decorative items crafted out of this material. When being made into chess pieces, alabaster&#8217;s cut into sections, then they&#8217;re carved by hand. Because the material is soft and susceptible to being bruised, everything has to be done with care. Usually set in sandbags, the craftsman carefully turns them into pawns, kings, queens, etc. Sometimes veining occurs, making it appear like marble. It also usually comes in white, pink and yellow.</p>
<p>Since the stone has a porous surface, it can be dipped into dyes and take on practically any color. You can find pieces that come in red, green, blue, brown, black and many more. As with designs, the pieces can come in various looks, from classic to contemporary. However, many people like to stick with the traditional chess piece look: the Staunton styling. This is the most-recognized design worldwide, a standard for competitions.</p>
<p>Because of the delicateness of the material, it evidently comes with a steeper price tag. Just imagine the painstaking process each piece has to go through. And that&#8217;s all 32 of them! But fret not, as the pieces come in a wide array of sizes. The smaller they are, the more affordable they get. Pieces as small as 3 inches are available, with more affordable price tags.</p>
<p>What board best to go with chess pieces out of alabaster than a board out of the very same material? Many people prefer to buy their chess as sets &#8211; board and pieces in one package. This ensures that everything, from colors to proportions, go well together. Boards out of this stone come in all sorts of shades. Others may use wood materials for bordering.</p>
<p>Chess sets are available in various materials. There are those out of metal, usually brass. Some come crafted in marble. There are those out of wood. And of course there are those made out of plastic materials. Each one comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Your choice can depend on factors, such as the age of the player, level of skill, etc.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no denying that an alabaster chess set gives you your money&#8217;s value. They are remarkably exquisite, classical, and can accentuate either your living space or workspace. Getting a board with an integrated storage is often advisable, as they&#8217;re out of a delicate material. In particular, if you got children or pets at home with you.</p>
