OK, I know some people here have to play chess. I am not that great but I enjoy it. I found a bar where I can play which is kind of cool.
I have recently purchased a few chess sets from House of Staunton and I love them. Best sets I have ever owned.

If you are going to buy someone a chess set as a gift get them a Staunton set of some sort not a Middle Earth or Gilligan's Island set. Staunton pieces are classic and if the person is playing chess they will most assuredly prefer a staunton set. The above site sells some weird ones I would never by and I wonder what the hell they are thinking sometimes.
Also I used to play a lot of chess here:

Which is a good site but bullet games can be addictive and bad for your chess game.
Anyone else have any other places to purchase nice sets or sites where they play(ed)?
