CHESS PIECES
➊ Have a dedicated storage solution for your chess pieces.
Store your chess pieces in a box or small bag to avoid losing or damaging them. Keeping your pieces in a safe place when not in use will preserve their beauty and durability and help maintain the integrity of your game.
Having a dedicated storage solution for your chess pieces also makes setting up your games easier. No need to search through drawers or shelves for that last missing piece. With proper storage, each piece is always in its place, ready for the next strategic duel on the board.
Whether you choose an elegant wooden box or a soft, portable bag, take care of your chess pieces. They are the heart of every game and deserve to be treated with the respect they inspire on the board.
➋ Keep It Organized.
A chess set includes 32 or 34 distinct pieces, and the greatest risk is losing a piece. To prevent this, we recommend a dedicated storage solution. The best option is one where each piece has its own designated spot, allowing you to quickly see if any piece is missing. This ensures that your chess set stays complete and ready for play at all times.
➌ Do not expose to excessive heat.
The woods used to create your
chess pieces can be sensitive to heat. Excessive heat can cause warping,
discoloration, or cracking. Ensure you never leave your chess pieces
near an intense heat source, such as a radiator or fireplace.
➍ Maintain Humidity Levels.
Wood can be affected by extreme changes in humidity. Keep your chess box
in an environment with stable humidity to prevent warping and cracking.
➎ Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can be harmful. UV rays can cause the wood to discolor.
➏ Embrace the Natural Patina.
Cherish the patina that forms on your chess set as it ages. With each game, it unveils a new layer of its elegance and your shared history.
By
following our recommendations, you will preserve the beauty and
durability of your chess pieces. Most importantly, you’ll ensure
countless hours of strategic play for years to come!
