A beautiful chess set with black and copper Roman pieces as a gift

The renowned Greek brand Constatntions Manopoulos was established over four decades ago in 1970!

The company's name derives from George Manopoulos, who created a new fashion in chess by combining wood with metal in the production of innovative backgammon sets.

Manopoulos is recognized worldwide for its rare manufacturing system of spectacular and unique sets of traditional strategic games such as chess and backgammon.

The brand's main ambition is to use the highest quality materials and handcrafted decoration, ensuring that their products will serve you faithfully for a very long time, maintaining their pristine condition and appearance!

For the production of chess sets, they use zinc alloy casting, which is then hand-painted and lacquered. Traditional Greek chessboards are made from the finest quality wood, including walnut, mahogany, olive, and oak.

It is precisely thanks to meticulous and diligent craftsmanship that their products are so detailed and incredibly beautiful.

Manopoulos products are not only games but also exclusive decorations.

Constatntions Manopoulos continues George Manopoulos's legacy and keeps exploring new designs.

Manopoulos offers beautiful chess sets — including pieces, boards, storage containers for chess figures, and other strategic games such as backgammon.

Currently, MANOPOULOS is a popular global brand producing modern, avant-garde, and luxurious chess and backgammon sets!

What should you pay attention to when buying chess sets?

Experienced players recommend purchasing wooden chess sets because one of the major advantages of wood is its durability. Additionally, when choosing chess pieces, pay attention to their bases — the best are those with cloth pads. This ensures that your moves won't damage the board.

Is it worth teaching children to play chess?

Learning to play chess positively influences a child's overall development — it trains memory, enhances abstract and logical thinking, and teaches determination and patience.

The mental and character traits developed through this are evident not only at the chessboard. The benefits are noticeable early in a child's education. They include improved concentration, ease of remembering details, and quickness in finding the correct solution to a problem. Therefore, we see that playing chess is not only an intellectual game but also a significant investment in our children's minds.
