A luxurious chess set as a gift

The luxurious Greek manufacturer Constatntions Manopoulos was founded over four decades ago in 1970!

The brand name derives from George Manopoulos, who created a modern trend in chess by blending wood with metal in the fabrication of unique backgammon sets.

Manopoulos is renowned worldwide for its unique technique of crafting spectacular sets of traditional strategic games such as chess and backgammon.

The brand’s intention is to use the highest quality materials and handcrafted finishes, ensuring that their products will serve you faithfully for a very long time while maintaining their perfect appearance and condition!

For the production of chess sets, they use zinc alloy casting, which is then hand-painted and lacquered, while traditional Greek chessboards are made from high-quality wood, including:

- walnut,
- mahogany,
- olive,
- oak.

It is precisely thanks to meticulous and diligent handwork that their products are so finely polished and exceptionally attractive.

Manopoulos products are not just games; they are also luxurious decorations.

Constatntions Manopoulos continues George Manopoulos’s legacy and constantly explores new modern trends.

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

Currently, MANOPOULOS is a globally renowned innovative company producing chess and backgammon sets in an innovative and unique style!

What should you consider when choosing a game set?

Experienced players recommend choosing wooden chess sets because the durability of wood is a significant advantage. Additionally, when selecting chess pieces, pay attention to their bases — the best are those with fabric bottoms. This ensures that they won’t scratch the board during moves.

Is it worth teaching children to play chess?

Learning to play chess promotes the comprehensive development of a child — it trains memory, abstract and logical thinking skills, and teaches determination and patience.
These developed mental and character traits manifest not only at the chessboard. The benefits are visible 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.

For everyone seeking traditional yet original logical games, we recommend the assortment of the world-famous brand Manopoulos.
