'''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''' 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 [[chair]]s 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.

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

There are two default chess tables in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', the '''King For a Day Outdoor Chess Table''' and the '''Grand Parlour Chess Table'''.
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."

Chess in ''The Sims 3'' requires to have chairs on either side. [[Sim]]s can use chess tables to compete in chess tournaments with other Sims in the [[neighbourhood]].
Two chess tables were included in ''The Sims 3'', with some expansion packs offering additional tables. [[Sim]]s can use chess tables to compete in chess tournaments with other Sims in the [[neighbourhood]].

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.
