Questions
Asked often.
What is a good chess gift for someone who already plays?
Something they would not buy for themselves: a beautiful wooden set, a historical replica such as the Lewis chessmen, or a smart board if they play online. For a tournament player, a quality clock is always welcome.
Are giant chess sets weatherproof?
Most giant sets are made of all-weather plastic and can stay outdoors for a game, but storing them out of direct sun keeps the colours from fading.
