Luxury Marble Chess Sets Novels & Stories

James and his companions followed Yared’s lead. With a sudden burst of light, they found themselves atop a vast mountain enveloped in swirling mist. To their surprise, amidst this serene setting, two elderly men with white hair clad in robes, engaged in a chess game. However, their chess differed from the conventional game. They utilized the vast expanse of the void as their chessboard, with planets serving as the pieces, harnessing the formidable power of the Historial Power as their hands to manipulate and display their masterful skill. The sight was magnificent and unique.

“By all means, make yourself comfortable.” Alexander nodded and sat in the chair Lilith had occupied earlier. Then, to my surprise, he reached into the bag he’d brought and pulled out a small wooden chess set. “I thought we could play,” he said, setting up the board on the rolling table beside my bed. “It helps pass the time.” I stared at the chessboard. In five years of marriage, Alexander and I had never once played a game together. Never spent an evening doing something as simple and normal as chess.

It looked less like a place for rest and more like a sacrificial altar. A wall of floor-to-ceiling and bulletproof windows with thousands of lights twinkled below, but from this height, they looked like mere sparks under the watchful eye of Alessandro’s empire. There's a sleek black leather sofa sitting near a marble coffee table. On the table, there's an antique chess set, pieces carved from what looked like ivory and obsidian. It's clear he always plays games.

He exclaimed. "It is Master Lorenzo to you." He adjusted his posture out of fright and bowed his head subtly. The other guards were confused. "Master Lorenzo... We weren't expecting you to—" "I don't need an invitation to visit my own family." I said coldly and stepped past them. The main hall was as extravagant as I remembered. Marble floors, crystal chandeliers, paintings of previous Blackwells staring down at me from the high walls. I heard voices echoing from the living room, angry voices. I recognised the booming tone of my father, Chairman Blackwell, even after all these years.

The elevator doors opened directly into his home. I stepped out and stopped. Floor to ceiling windows wrapped around three sides of the massive open space and the city sprawled below us like a kingdom of light. The floors were dark hardwood that gleamed under recessed lighting and the furniture was all clean lines and expensive leather in shades of charcoal and cream. Everything was immaculate and minimalist and so perfectly Dante that it made my chest ache for some reason. But what caught my attention were the chess boards.

We stared into each other's eyes and even with the silence, I could hear Gwen's heart beating fast as her breathing became erratic. I always knew Gwen's loyalty to me was more than just admiration and if she wasn't important, I would have evicted her in a painless manner. "My lady." Gwen's smooth voice had me breaking the contact as I stood up, grabbing a pawn piece. "What is the most powerful piece in a game of chess?" I asked as I walked to my window and stared down. Father was talking to a messenger boy as I faced Gwen who was seriously thinking as she stared at the board on my desk.

Everyone in Pacific City loved a good game of chess, and Cole had nailed the perfect present. Red agate was no ordinary stone; Helma knew it was worth a fortune, easily thousands per gram. This was not just a chess set—it was a treasure. She pressed her lips together, keeping her thoughts to herself. Cole took a quick look around the room and then made a beeline for the seat next to Helma. The room buzzed with a mix of expressions. Most guests breezed through, offering quick birthday wishes before heading out—the offer to sit down was just for show. Cole? He plopped down as if he belonged, right in the spot meant for family. What was he thinking?

he called out, vanishing down the hall with Bear quickly following in tow. When they returned, they were both laughing and teasing each other, carrying gifts. They handed me a chessboard each, beaming as if it was the most brilliant idea ever. "I saw this and thought of you," said Jules, presenting a black-and-white marble set with classic stone pieces. Bear's set was completely different. It was a playful wooden board. Each piece represented an animal or a symbol of nature. "Mine's better," Bear teased, nudging Jules. It was incredibly cute how all three had thought of me. "I feel terrible," I confessed, "I only got you guys Texas souvenirs."

His eyes caught the antique chess set placed carefully on the round table. The board itself is made of jade. Even the pieces were carved with either green or dark green jade. It's really stunning to look at. "He bought a new chess set? It looks more beautiful than the chess sets he had before." Hans has a weird hobby of collecting chess sets. From glass to wood collections, as long as it's a chess set, he would buy it. Jonathan knew about it since then. In his bedroom, Hans forgot to wear his necktie so he went out. Before he could go towards his closet, a rectangular box caught his attention. It's the gift given to him by Everly.

"You saying it's not stolen doesn't make it true. I could say the chess set is mine too," a woman said. Jessie ignored her. She picked up one of the jade pieces and spoke calmly. "If you have poor vision, then look harder. This isn't the Curtis family's collection." She held the chess piece up under the banquet hall's lights. At the bottom of the chess piece, there was a sun. "Isn't that the Sunfire Jade Chess Set?"
