Identifying the cats has proved more challenging and if you recognise any, we would love to hear from you. The cats army does not in anyway lose any of its sumptuous detailing. In a world burdened with war, here is a whimsical version of the time-honoured past time using our favourite household pets. Please note that as these pieces are hand painted, there may be some inconsistencies in the level of detail and colour and therefore your pieces may be very slightly different from the images shown. Any inconsistencies however are minimal. With every cat meme shared, these powerful felines slowly but surely took over the internet. And now, they have come over to Chess.com. These pieces are matched with a beautiful 15.75 inch walnut and maple board from Spain to give you a stunning chess set, however The Cats vs Dogs Chess Men are also available without the board. Either way, this is a perfect gift for any cat, dog or animal lover.

With a distinguished legacy in manufacturing the world’s most prestigious chess sets, Jaques history with the king of games is a lengthy one. With centuries of skilful artisan experience handed down through generations of games-makers, Jaques of London are widely renowned as the world’s oldest games manufacturers and proud creators of the spectacular Staunton chess board design. Mr. Grumpers is tired of foolish humans not letting him play with chess pieces and scratch their chessboards. Now, he's looking for revenge, food, and the occasional head scratch (but only when he's in the mood).Of course, our Staunton design is deserving of special note. First created in 1850, Elgin Marbles’ famed pieces were to be considered as the physical embodiment of the games’ sophistication. First British Chess Champion, Howard Staunton, was so taken with them, that his name was to be adorned upon the pieces from then on. You can dangle your chess pieces in front of Scaredy Cat all you want, but he won't grab it unless he knows it's safe. Don't be too mean to this scared kitty. Catspurrov is just sitting in his office, reading the paper and enjoying a coffee. But he's always willing to play a game of chess too. Both sides are adorned in beautifully ornate, aristocratic-style costumes with miniature castle as the castles pieces. Chess is also one of the greatest games for invigorating young minds and encouraging analytical and critical thinking. Jaques has hand crafted chess sets for all ages and experience levels, with handy travel companion chess sets giving way to one of a kind deluxe designs.
