— August 19, 2009 — Art & Design
If you’re a serious chess player and have $224,000 to spare, then this chest set will probably make all your dreams come true. Made of 186ct diamonds, this chess set is on auction in New York with a starting bid of $224,000 and will probably climb in price once the bidding starts.

With 4,500 hours put into the creation of this game, it only seems reasonable to have such a high price tag. I would definitely be distracted by all the gems if I were to play with this chess set.
