Meet The Gift of Chess Lightweight Tournament Chess Set—a beautifully designed, portable chess set built for players who want quality that travels as well as they do. Made in the USA with recycled materials, it embodies The Global Gift of Chess mission: turning every game into an opportunity to connect and give.

By reimagining the King's crown as a gift, this set captures the essence of The Global Gift of Chess project. We keep the pieces hollow to reduce the amount of material needed for each set, cut weight, and make it easy to cart to your next tournament!

The Gift of Chess is a 501(3)c charity which aims to expand the universal language of chess, creating opportunity and connections through giving access to a physical chess set, educational chess technology, and inclusion into a supportive chess community. How does my purchase help? Each chess set purchased from us will bring the gift of chess into your community, and will help us donate more chess sets to children and communities around the world. Our goal is to donate one million chess sets globally by 2030. To date, The Gift of Chess Charity has distributed over 100,000 chess sets, reaching 35 countries.

Plus, a portion of proceeds supports The Gift of Chess Charity. It's not just a set—it's a way to connect families, classrooms, and clubs without screens. If your kid plays on ChessKid or LiChess, it's time to snag a physical set and board to bring the game to life in your living room, classroom, or club. Father's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas or Hannukah—it's all a great moment to give someone the gift of chess.
