I own 6 chess sets. One of them is Xiangqi. I have them in my album.

like 4

Sadly, more than 20.  I never met a chess set I didn't like.

You can find some evidence for this on my blog:  http://blog.chess.com/qixel/a-clean-well-lighted-place-for-chess

My chess collection, however, is not nearly so large as my shoe collection.

I own 2 "physical" chess sets.  I also own several mental chess sets, and one spiritual chess set.

Just one, unfortunately. It's quite nice, but not very practical. Either way, I almost never get the chance to play on it, just once every few months when somebody comes to visit :p

I'd love to have one of those classic vinyll boards and plastic sets to put next to my computer, like I said my current one is not great for that.

Xiangqi and regular chess.

I have four - a nice wooden one, a plastic one, a Star Wars edition one, and a Disney edition one. I'm a geek. >_<

one now,

thansk for reminding me chess.com, I just got a newer wooden set a few days ago and tossed my plastic set in the trash just now so that I could click on the "One" option.

do you know where to get a magnetic chess set to put on the fridge?

I liked this idea so much I made my own.  I just printed out a board from the Internet and used pieces from a cheap magnetic set I had lying around the house.

Here's a picture of it on my fridge (the position is from the famous "game of the century," Byrne vs Fischer 1956).

one and a half standard plastic tournament set.

i own 1 pocket chess board, 1 chess board with large pieces, a very expensive chico sized chess board, and one that came with a chess book.

I don't have any anymore, after one broke and the other got its pieces lost...

Why do some people have between 10 to 20. It's so pointless.

who really has 20 chess sets?!? People are just messing around.

Who owns just -one- chess set?

I could see not owning any
But not just one :P:P

I think I have a couple...

I have four regular chess seta (one of them very old), but I also have two very small for travels... After counting them as half set each, I have five, which puts me into two groups. So maybe I shouldn't count them and then I would belong only to 3-5 group. But maybe there are chess sets after all and I belong only to 5-10 group!

Aaaaah what should I do, isn't world falling down on me??? :-D

some of my boards are for playing, another 1 for my kid to learn, 1 is collection edition of Lord of the rings, and another one to teach people...  around 8 boards

Alas, I have none.  I've been looking around on tinternet for a good plastic set and appropriate board but cant seem to find one I like.  They're all either the bog standard tournament set which I think is a bit cheap looking and I'm sure I've played on different sets in clubs, or they're too big.  I've seen a few different sets in different clubs, some I like less (practically unplayably horrible), and some more than the standard set, but I cant begin to imagine where they got any of them from.  It seems they don't exist. 

20 sound unreasonable?  I'll have to take some pictures to post...

I own 4 chesssets

I own 2 wooden ones and 2 plastic ones, I don't really mind what I play on, once or twice I tried to make a board with my friends - fun, but not very useful in itself...

I own two now. I had a few cheap ones sitting around, but I finally trashed them.

Yesterday I went to the store and got some nice pieces for a board I've had for about two years.

Today my portable tournament chess set arrived, and I really love it. I've wanted chess sets like these two my entire life and now I have them, so the rest are going to Goodwill.

i have 2

I have none more than somepeople

I have two, one big wooden chess board made of nara wooden and all pieces that we bought in Baguio. And the other one is made of porcelain, small one.

i think i have like.. 7

i have like three or four

I have one chess set, you only need one set to play chess. Dan.

I just bought a travel set which takes me upto 3

A dozen or so. All sizes, all prices, plastic and wood, old and new, but all Stauntons (except for one hand-made black onyx/rose quartz disc set).

I like to give away sets when I go much above a dozen.

I've got a little light wood set, a little plastic one, a pair of magnetic really small -to carry allways with me-, a big one on Stone, marble, both pieces and board -a present from my father-, and 4 big competition style plastic Staunton chess sets and boards.

I have two wooden chess boards, one that came in a book, a pocket-sized chess board, one Harry Potter one that I got for my birthday, one chess board that has a computer inside it and tells you what it wants to move, and finally one acrylic chess board.  This puts me into the 5-10 group

it seems i am no longer welcome at this site; i will take my leave...good luck to all of you.

Have 5 sets. Could have 500
