Amazing to see a $50,000 chess set, it begs the question: Just how expensive do chess sets get?

Does the author even understand what “bad-ass” means? none of these are even remotely bad-ass. Most of them are overpriced chess sets for yuppies to show off how much money they can blow.

My problem with the first one is that 1) you wouldn’t see the ninja’s and 2) even a ninja pawn could take out the king in one move…

… if 7 rows were filled with Pirates, and 1 square with a ninja – I would say that that the pirates would need another 7 rows… to be fair.
