Chess is one of the world's most ancient games and it continues to be one of the world's most popular. Chess pieces, which players use to compete, are made in the likeness of many characters in popular culture. It is fitting, perhaps, that the longest-running television sitcom in history should inspire a chess set. "The Simpsons" 3-D Chess includes three dimensional chess pieces made after all the most popular characters from the cartoon series. "The Simpsons" series debuted in 1989, this chess set dates from 1991.
