Dragon Plate
All forms of dragon chess set style by Joaquin Gibson
Chess is a popular game around the world and can be played between people that cannot communicate with each other for any reason. Language barriers can be overcome easily to play this game. It can be a time consuming game full of strategy and skill. The game itself can be traced back to Persian influences.
Chess has become more than just a game. International tournaments have created a high stakes competition. Chess boards are also used as dcor in homes and offices to symbolize intelligence and wit.
The board itself is made up of 64 squares that are alternating colors that represent the two people playing the game. Each player begins the game with a king, a queen, two knights, two rooks, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each piece is unique when it comes to how they can be moved around the board. The object of the game is to get your opponent’s king in a position where there are no possible moves left. This is known as checkmate.
The history of chess is a long road. The earliest form of chess dates back to the 500s, in India. The rules were different than they are today. The Persians picked up the game and it became a game for royalty. The popularity spread through Portugal, Spain, and Greece before becoming a game we would recognize as chess in Europe. Russia picked up the game in the 9th century and it spread to China.
Most of the modern game rules originated from play throughout Spain and Italy. These were officially set as rules in Europe during the year 1200. The complete set of rules that we use today were finalized in the 19th century with the addition of a stalemate. The first modern tournament of chess was played in London during the year 1851.
Dragons: The Collectibles
Dragons add a bit of mysticism to every day life. People adorn their bodies and their homes with dragons. Whether you are looking to purchase a unique gift, a representation of a fantasy world, a symbol of protection, or an element for Fung Shui, Draconia Wicca, or any type of white magic, there is a dragon collectible for your every need.
Dragon collectibles literally come in all shapes and sizes. They are made of all different kinds of materials: resin, plastic, glass, wax, wood, pewter, and crystal. Let’s take a look at some of the different types of collectibles and home decor available.
Statues: From a dragon posed to attack to a dragon breathing fire to a baby dragon hatching from an egg, statues and figurines capture a slice of dragon life.
Candle Holders: Let the powers of a dragon light your way. Designed to hold tapers or tea lights, dragon candle holders will help get you through your darkest hours.
Hour Glasses: Dragons are the protectors of treasures and in this case, also time. Showcasing the movement of eternity and an ever changing universe, these collectibles will capture your attention with every single grain of sand.
Jewelry Boxes: A dragon, a natural protector, will keep your most precious material objects safe like no other guardian can. Under the ever-watchful eye of this elaborate and beautiful sentinel, the contents of your box will be out of harm’s way.
Incense Burners: Where there’s a dragon there’s fire. And where there’s fire, there’s smoke. In this case, incense smoke. Eastern legend says that a dragon’s breath is chi, the energy and essence of life. Burn your favorite form of aromatic spirituality and release the chi into your home.
Bookends: Dragons are a symbol of knowledge and power so what better creature to be the guardian of your holders of wisdom: your favorite books.
Wall Stands: Display your favorite objects on a stand crafted with the beauty and grace that they deserve. Mounted to the wall, the dragon stand will not only protect your possessions, but keep an ever-vigilant eye over your room.
Mirror: Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the most magical of them all? As you gaze at your image in the dragon-secured mirror, you will feel the power of the creature reflecting back into you.
This list is just the beginning. You will also find dragon lamps, goblets, chess sets, bottle openers, photo frames, water globes, plates, plaques, and even furniture. For every purpose, for ever room, there is a dragon waiting to protect you and bring you good fortune.
