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 pieces, they use zinc alloy casting, which is then hand-painted and lacquered in the next stage of manufacturing. 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 the legacy of George Manopoulos and constantly explores new designs.

Manopoulos offers beautiful chess sets — figures, boards, storage boxes for chess pieces, 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 figures, pay attention to their bases — the best are those with fabric bottoms. This ensures that your pieces won't damage the board during play.

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.

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