Is the king in chess your goal?
The goal in chess, or the object of the game, is to checkmate your opponent's king. A king is in checkmate when he is attacked and no matter what move he attempts to make he is still being attacked (or in check). There are three ways to get out of check: move the king to a safe square, capture the checking piece, or block with another piece. If a player is in check and cannot get out of check, he is in checkmate and has lost the game.
Is a Richard synek chess set worth anything?
They seem to sell for around 200$ dollars. However, if you want to know if they are worth anything because they were made by hand: they are. My father (and mother) made these in the back of our loft in SoHo, before that area was designated as such. My father designed them, made the molds and poured the pewter for the sets. The pieces were then plated and distressed. The copper chessboards were hand stamped and patinated.
The artisan world may have not caught up with them yet, but the sets are artisan pieces-- so hold on to them, for the love of the set or wait till they are recognized and worth more.
QUERY TO THE ABOVE ANSWER: Do you have any idea where I can find one of these for $200? I've loved them from when I was a child. If you are the son/daughter of Richard Synek, how do I get in touch with you?
