Shot Glass Chess

(Reader Contribution to 12 Coolest Chess Sets)


This beautiful chess set is created with the finest quality glass. Each of the playing pieces is a shot glass with the likeness of the chess piece on the glass for identification.

The chessboard itself is made of solid glass, padded on the underside to protect your tabletop.
Measuring 14 inches square, this set makes an attractive and practical display piece, and an ideal gift for anyone who loves the fascinating game of chess.

Whenever you capture an opponent's piece you have to drink it.
The most valuable pieces have greater capacity so the advantage of being ahead in the game is offset by increased inebriation and a rapid deterioration in performance!

The Shot Glasses resemble their chess counterparts

What drinks are suitable?
The options are almost limitless as long as both colors are easily distinguishable.
Red wine against white wine ensures a relatively calm game.
Orange juice and apple juice are more suitable for morning matches and any clash involving Absinthe should really be left to the Grandmasters.
