I started and finished The Queen's Gambit in the span of one weekend. I couldn't get enough, and I'm hoping desperately for a season two, 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. 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!
