Collapsible row
When designing our chess pieces, we aimed for a unique yet familiar feel that players trust. We wanted functional works of art—considering size, weight, surface finish, and color carefully.
After 500+ hours of CAD design and multiple iterations, we found something extraordinary. Experience the Ugly Chess signature pieces and understand what sets them apart.

We meticulously color, mix, pour, and finish all our pieces by hand. This process gives each set a unique coloring, making it special to the owner.

Whether a piece falls off the table or gets shuffled in its bag, there is no need to worry. We spent months choosing materials and perfecting the surface finish to ensure our pieces withstand the test of time.
Customer Reviews
Let customers speak for us
Got my set a few days ago. I was wanting a standard sized set and this checks all the boxes. The print quality on the board is fantastic, it’s grippy and sturdy but isn’t super heavy when rolled up like many rollable boards are. The pieces have a nice felt material on the bottom, have no sharp edges, and are great to play with!
I have had many themed chess sets over the years, but really wanted something that I could play competitive with and keep the classic feel. I saw this company on Instagram and decided to give it a shot.
Each piece appears to be handcrafted and you can really tell! I was blown away by the quality of the pieces and the unique color ways. The design on the board definitely gets people talking whenever I show them.
The fulfillment time was really fast too, as a fellow business owner I can tell they put time and effort into their product.
10/10 will be ordering again.
The design is spectacular and the quality is impressive. It definitely makes each game or training session more exciting!
I bought a set to have in our game room. My grandchildren play with it all the time and love it! The pieces are durable, they get dropped over and over again and they are still in perfect shape! Really fun print, livens up the place!
I don't have a ton of people to play chess with but I wanted to get a board just in case for party night or something. I found the skull board and loved the design so I had to get it. Once I had the board and felt the material I bought a couple more and I have loved every one! The designs on each board are creative and stand out even when you have a board full of pieces! Party night has never been the same since the pieces came out! I had to get the doc peppa and OG black marble. Both sets of pieces are very well structured and designed! The colors are like eye candy on the doc peppa! Very high recommend for everyone that enjoys a game or two of chess!
This set is a fantastic addition to my collection. Doc Peppa and Mr. Freeze bring a unique charm to the game, making every match more fun. The Neon Jungle board's vibrant design perfectly complements the hand-crafted pieces. It's a durable, high-quality set that's as enjoyable to play with as it is to display. If you're looking for a chess set with personality, this one is a winner!
