Learning Chess

Posted: Chess Set Up

I’m looking for a chess set like they use in the anime (NOT one that is based off of their characters). A friend of mine is completely addicted to Code Geass and I think they would really enjoy that set. So, if anyone knows where one is, that’d be so cool.

You cannot get an official replica of the chess set featured in the Code Geass anime, because it has not been made or released yet. The only piece that currently has an official replica is the Black King chess piece (see photo of mine in my source), which was sold together with a Lelouch figurine in January 2007. The figurine + Black King piece set has long been sold out now and the only way to get it is through secondhand or online auction sites, most of which are selling it for double the original retail price of 1,800 yen (~19 USD).
