Handmade chess set from the Greco-Roman period - gold and bronze chess pieces with a brown board

The luxurious 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.

The Manopoulos brand 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 embellishments, 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.

Thanks to meticulous and diligent craftsmanship, their products are so intricately decorated and incredibly beautiful.

Manopoulos products are not only games but also exclusive decorations.

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

Manopoulos offers stunning chess sets — including pieces, boards, storage boxes 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 wood's durability is a significant advantage. Additionally, when choosing chess pieces, pay attention to their bases — the best are those with fabric, which guarantees they won't damage your board during play.

Is it worth teaching children to play chess?

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

These mental and character traits developed through chess manifest not only at the board but also in early education. They are reflected in the child's ability to concentrate, remember details easily, and quickly find correct solutions to problems. Therefore, we see that playing chess is not only an intellectual game but also a significant investment in our children's minds.
