Elegant red chess set - Constatntions Manopoulos

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 combining wood with metal in the manufacturing of innovative backgammon.

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 pieces, they use zinc alloy casting, which is then hand-painted and lacquered, while traditional Greek chessboards are made from high-quality wood such as:

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

It is precisely thanks to meticulous and diligent craftsmanship 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 globally renowned innovative company producing chess and backgammon in a unique and unprecedented style!

   What should you consider when choosing a game set?

Experienced players recommend choosing wooden chess sets because wood’s durability is a significant advantage. 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 the comprehensive development of a child — it trains memory, enhances abstract and logical thinking, and teaches determination and patience.
The mental and character traits developed in this way 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 reaching correct solutions. Therefore, we see that playing chess is not only an intellectual game but also a significant investment in our children’s minds.

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