I'm waiting until I hit the next chapter before crafting it, given how expensive the pieces are (and the fact that I will be stuck at that level for a long time. Orcs, whee!), but I still have no idea on whether I'll actually place 'em or not. Might just for the value of tinkering with a set first-hand and the pleasing appearance. Would also provide some amusement, as I am utter rubbish at chess (if I manage to beat the AI on the easy setting in Chess Titans, it is a shocking and rare occurrence).
