Chess set with a green board and Roman pieces as a gift

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

The brand name derives from George Manopoulos, who created a modern chess trend by blending wood with metal in the manufacture 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, maintaining their perfect appearance and condition!

For the production of chess pieces, 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 the meticulous and diligent work of their artisans that their products are so finely polished and exceptionally attractive.

Manopoulos products are not only games but also luxurious decorations.

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

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

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

How to choose a game set?

Experienced players recommend choosing wooden chess sets because one major advantage of wood is its durability. Additionally, when selecting chess pieces, pay attention to their bases — the best are those with felt pads. This ensures they won’t scratch your board during play.

Is it worth teaching children to play chess?

Learning to play chess supports comprehensive child development — it enhances memory, abstract and logical thinking skills, and teaches determination and patience.
Developed mental and character traits manifest not only at the chessboard. The benefits are visible early in a child's education, such as improved concentration, ease of memorizing details, and quickness in finding correct solutions. So, we see that playing chess is not only an intellectual game but also a significant investment in our children’s minds.

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