7. Chess-themed accessories: Find chess-themed accessories such as keychains, mugs, or phone cases. These small yet thoughtful gifts show that you've paid attention to his interests and will remind him of his love for chess throughout the day.

8. Online chess subscription: Consider subscribing your son to an online chess platform where he can play against players from around the world, participate in tournaments, and access training materials and chess analysis tools. This gift will allow him to further develop his skills and provide countless hours of fun and learning.

Remember, the best gift comes from your thoughtfulness and understanding of your son's interests. By selecting a gift that reflects his love for chess and board games, you are showing that you support his passion and want to encourage his growth and enjoyment in this area.
