Chess drinking set

I am looking for a chess drinking set where the volume each piece holds is based on the value of the piece.

But the king's value is infinity isn't it?

The King could always be refilled infinitely, i suppose, but the volume of the King should definitely be larger than the other pieces as long as it is practical and fits on the board.

Yes and no. In endgames the King is assigned a finite value since it is frequently a combatant and not just a spectator. You might be surprised to discover, as I was, that GMs Lasker, Evans and computers have given the King a value of FOUR PAWNS - click on the link for more info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_piece_relative_value

Question Quite a few years ago, I heard George Koltanowski relating a story about a famous exhibition game between José Capablanca and a member of the “royalty” of Spain (I think). It involved playing on a large, life-size board with pieces filled with wine or some other kind of alcohol. It was understood that Capablanca might get drunk easier and this would lead to the “royal’s” win. However, according to Koltanowski, Capablanca fooled (schooled) the “royal” by sacrificing his queen early, leading to the “royal’s” passing out upon consumption. I have subsequently searched in vain for any kind of confirmation of this story, so I am hoping that you can shed the necessary light, and if it is a true story, please advise who and what the royal was, when it took place, and so on. Many Thanks and Best Wishes! Dr. U. Bri (USA)

Answer There are a number of versions of this story and I doubt any of them are true. The chief yarn pits Emanuel Lasker vs. Géza Maróczy, somewhere in time, and it’s Maróczy who has to drink Lasker’s captured queen (1 e4 e5 2 Qh5 Nc6 3 Qxf7+ Kxf7) – a bottle of champagne. Meanwhile, Lasker merely has to quaff a vial of liqueur (the f7-pawn). As hard as it is to swill an entire bottle of Dom Perignon, it’s much harder to swallow this entire story en toto. Perhaps there was some ceremonial occasion where an alcoholic chess set was used for photograph opportunities at the event’s commencement or conclusion. Maybe the festive happening indeed did involve Capa (as Kolti said, though he said an incredible multitude of things), Lasker, Maróczy, and/or some royal personage. Or maybe it never happened. I suspect to get the reality of it we’ll have to fall back on an axiom we can really count on, in vino veritas    SOURCE: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/bruce118.pdf

Ouch. Got lmgtfy'd!

The imgtfy is not on point.  The google search does not produce results for sets in which every piece in the set has a volume consistent with its relative value. 

The examples in the search do not accomodate a queen which holds nine times the pawn and three times the knight.

Close. The loser also has to drink the PBR.

Board is set up wrong.

@AlCzervik Nice picture. Have anyone tried play chess with beer or wine filled glasses? Not recommended for blitz games definitely . 

I've never tried it. Unless it were long time controls, the game might not end!

It reminded me of a "game" I played many years ago. Shot a minute. Drink a shot of beer every minute for an hour while playing cards. Sounds simple until you've tried it. One guy passed out within an hour. The rest of us were too blitzed to continue the card game.

The proper set should address @Mandy711's concerns about spilling and @AlCzervik's observations about the reasonable amount a single person can consume during a game. 

Yes. So the board is set up incorrectly in the pic. So what? It's a suggestion to the OP. Anyone can make their own set, with their own glasses, and put whatever they choose into them.

(loser still has to drink PBR, though)

What's PBR?

A brand of really cheap beer.

Oh. And wow--four pawns?! =O

German for chess is "schach."  German engineering has brought us Schach  Shots which appears to meet all of the important criteria.

Why not make your own set. Go to a store that sells lots of glasses in various sizes, pick out the ones that fulfill your requirements and when you get them home use a marking pen to draw piece symbols on them. Use different color liquids for each side so you will know white from black.  

Agrees with DrFrank. I've seen quite a few shot glass sets and never one quite to your specifications... also: http://www.tykroll.com/chess/beneagels.html (though with the bungholes in the bottoms it's not much for refilling and was empty when I bought it.)

Sorry, I could have been clearer in my last post.  I think Schach Shots is the winner.  See schachshots.com or http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1216833946/schach-shots

I hope the project gets funded
