Chess table

Chess tables are objects used in The Sims, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3 to raise the Logic skill by playing chess. Chess tables require two chairs on both ends in order for them to be used. Sims can play alone or with a partner, and will socialize when doing the latter.

The Sims

Originally, The Sims had one chess table, the Chuck Matewell Chess Set. Hot Date added the "King Head" Outdoor Chess Table. While technically not chess, Makin' Magic introduced the Checker Set Too, which functions similarly to chess.

According to the 100th day bonus, Sims play a real game of chess. The images shown to the player are different stages of a real chess match.

Checker Set Too

Checker Set Too This elaborate, and complex game of historical import, allows the player to reproduce on the microscopic level any two-sided struggle of socio-political import throughout the ages. A player must choose light or dark, a decision which may seem simple, as each side has the same amount of pieces and the same ability to move a piece to the right or the left, but the philosophical implications of these choices may very well reverberate throughout the length of the entire game, or even for all time.

The Sims 2

There are two default chess tables in The Sims 2: the King For a Day Outdoor Chess Table and the Grand Parlour Chess Table.

Unlike The Sims, chess pieces are now separate from the chess table itself, and the player can now watch their game in real detail. While Sims generally follow the normal rules of chess, it has been noted that they may continue playing even after the king has been captured, which would normally result in a "checkmate."

When children play chess at these tables, they will perch on a stack of phone books.

Grand Parlour Chess Table

Grand Parlour Chess Table One of the oldest and most distinguished parlour games, chess has existed in many forms for over a thousand years. What better way to show true intellectual fortitude than to dedicate an entire table to the sole pupose [sic] of the pursuit of logic. Play in the parlour with another Sim, or alone (while attempting to maintain two completely independent strategies at the same time).

The Sims 3

Two chess tables were included in The Sims 3, with some expansion packs offering additional tables. Sims can use chess tables to compete in chess tournaments with other Sims in the neighborhood.

If a Sim dies, another Sim can play chess with the Grim Reaper for that Sim's life. If the Sim wins, the Grim Reaper will resurrect the Sim that died.

If a Sim loses a game, they may angrily knock the pieces off the table. Since the pieces do not have models whilst on the ground, they will simply disappear and do not have to be cleaned up.
