I started and finished The Queen's Gambit [1] in the span of one weekend. I couldn't get enough, and I'm hoping desperately for a season two [2], but the one thing I kept thinking while watching is, though I'm enjoying myself thoroughly, how much more fun this show would be if I actually knew anything about chess. As it stands, I know next to nothing, except that there's a queen and a king, though I'm now familiar with the rook and bishop. If there's someone in your life who's equally obsessed with the Netflix miniseries, you've got to get them a chess set.
These 23 options will keep you entertained throughout the holidays, and they also happen to make great gifts [3]. Whether you're looking to up your chess game or learn something new, you'll want to spend all your time studying the board. Keep on reading to shop!
