To find out, I spent 15 hours researching chess sets online and sat down for an extended conversation with Imad Khachan, owner of Chess Forum, a New York City institution that hosts matches and sells all manner of chess books, clocks, and sets.

But many of those newbies may be wondering: Which chess set is best to start out with? Resources like and Twitch streams from grandmasters and the wild popularity of Netflix’s 2020 show The Queen’s Gambit have created legions of new players. Its lingo is opaque to newbies-high-level players talk about the “Ruy López Opening” or the “Trompowsky Attack”-and pop culture has an unfortunate habit of casting aficionados as either massive dweebs or troubled savants who have a hard time relating to other people.
