Pirate Chess Set: Pirates vs. British Navy
Swashbuckling pirates and England's maritime police, the British Navy, are opposing chess armies in this pirate chess set. Each chess piece is remarkably detailed and then brought into full character as brilliant, fade-resistant paint is applied by hand with meticulous care. The chessboard and chess cabinet are optional. Both are equally nice for play and display of your pirate chess set, however, the chess cabinet has a built-in storage compartment that accommodates the chess set's fitted tray which provides individual and protective slots for each chess piece.

Pirate History
Piracy was a problem thousands of years before the Spanish began to bring gold, silver, and other
treasures from the New World back to Spain. Men sailed the seas as pirates when countries began to
cross the Oceans and Seas to trade goods with each other. Vikings, here long before the "Golden Age" of
piracy, were nothing more than "pirates" themselves. They sailed all over the Atlantic Ocean, but especially
terrorized the European coastlines. Piracy was also active in the waters surrounding Asia. As ships were
built bigger and better, opportunistic men began to spread piracy throughout the New World.
This pirate chess set is as ideal for display as it is for fiercely competitive play and will undoubtedly be
cherished by you and your family for years to come. You would be hard-pressed to find a better way to
introduce your kids or grand kids to the game of chess as well as the colorful history of piracy on the high
seas. You'd be equally hard-pressed to find a better value for hand-painted chess pieces of this beauty,
size and quality.
The British Navy vs. Pirates chess set is the perfect gift for the collector as well as the non-collector, the
serious player and the not-so-serious player, the young and the old. Or, buy one for yourself and proudly
display it in your home or office. Buy today. We guarantee you won't be disappointed.
