More novelty chess sets...

In my last blog post I was amazed at some of the more bizarre novelty chess sets available.

That was nothing!   There are some more amazing sets here...some of the pics are below.  Which one do you like best?

Speaking of novelty chess sets, South African president Jacob Zuma is currently visiting the UK and gave an attractive chess set to Queen Elizabeth II as a gift.  Unfortunately, it was exactly the same style set that she had received from Nelson Mandela over a decade ago!  Story here, and a picture of the set is here.
