Chess Set

Would anybody know where to pick up a decent sized wooden chess set?

Am currently making do with a tiny plastic magnetic board and it's not quite the same.

Thanks,

Ajay

Stanley Market (just beside Watsons) or Monk Kok Ladies Market have them - quite cool little carved Chinese characters for $200-400.

hey grandmaster

mong kok is one option as larac mentioned.. another option is fleet arcade at fenwick pier close to admiralty mtr.. you can get a big size chess set, the traditional looking carved out of stone thingy...very cool, i just picked up one sometime back.. it cost me approx HKD 350..

ciao
