Lord Of The Rings Chess Set (Swati Banerjee)

The one ring is to find them, one ring to rule, one ring to bring and bind them all. Lord of the Rings in 1997 was voted and due to the mortification of some of the critics in the poll run by major British booksellers it was voted as the greatest book of twentieth century. In 1954 while the first volume published Lord of the Rings have been a steady bestseller, in the sixties and also in the early seventies it has a great campus craze. Lord of the Rings even though having in medieval literature its roots places its readers and characters on a crash course along with the ethical dilemmas of power and knowledge. The modern problems are posed by the Tolkien with a trust in both the human choice importance as well as with the complete ethical principles.

Each detail is true to Academy Award winning epic film, as it is richly realistic and authentic. Lord of the rings is a high-end, gorgeous chess set and has a detailing of the Frodo story, about how he encounters the enemies and friends in his journey for destroying the One Ring; this is a work of art. Under the playing surface the Middle-earth map is mounted and from the film the base has the images of the most unforgettable scenes and characters. In the well pewter of the real cast members 32 playing pieces are exact small sculptures and every likeness is very realistic that by individual actors they were approved personally. The measurement in height of every piece is between 2-3 inches and stands an unbelievable likeness to the actor because by each of them it was approved personally.

The inclusion of some of the pieces are as follows: Gandalf, Aragorn, Arwen, Pippin, Boromir, Galadriel, Merry, Sam, Frodo, Orthanc Tower, four different Orcs, Ringwraith, Cave Troll, Uruk-Hai, Lurtz, Saruman. 15 by 15 by 4.5 inches is the measurement of the board. Plexi-glass is on the top of the board and made of cold cast porcelain is the rest part of board. Around the bottom the purple ring are for the villain pieces and the green ring are for the hero pieces. This chess set can be treasured for generations and is a heavyweight item.
