		First off, the Lord of the Rings "chess" set is not a really usable chess set, but rather a toy or a piece of furniture, depending on how you treat it.
		A true chess set (most typically the STAUNTON design) has clearly identifiable bishops, rooks, etc. If a pawn is not INSTANTLY recognizable as a pawn for instance, it is useless as a chess set for any serious player.
		Third, talk of "educational value" is unclear at best: chess per se probably has some educational value (thought this is not as obvious as many believe)If however, the set stimulates your interest in the "Lord of the Rings" that is educational IF you consider studying that series to have educational value.
