    Customer Reviews

    Good set for the moneyThis is a pretty good chess set for what I paid for it. I didn't expect a chess set worthy of Grandmaster match play so I didn't have absurd expectations. I like the fact that the board is made of wood (or some form of wood composite), that it folds up for easy travel and storage, and that the chess pieces are also wood. What I fould a little odd is that the dark pieces are brown, not black -- and the stain seems a bit washed out, almost watercolor-ey in appearance. Of course, this doesn't impact our play, so for me it's not that big of a deal. Don't expect a high quality set and you won't be disappointed. But it's a fair deal for the money. 4Durable set. Easy to put away/store.I think this is a very nice set for the price. It's well constructed and the fact that you can just flip the board over, dump all the pieces in, and fold it in half means even my 9 year old can easily keep it put away when not in use (and not lose pieces). The pieces are smallish, but the description is accurate so you know what you're getting. I think it's a very acceptable and well-made first chess set. 4A very good chess setThis set is well sized, well made, beautiful wood colors, and nigh indestructible.It comes with a full sets of pieces, white and black (and a plastic bag for each, but not the built-in slots some travel sets have) and a solid folding board with a single metal latch. I haven't noticed any defects in the construction, it's perfectly smooth, and sits flat on any flat surface. That's still true even after the rough life my set has had!I recently replaced my normal table set because I've been traveling a lot, and this set has made everywhere I've stopped for a game feel like a comfortable game at home with my dad. 5Attractive, Functional, and PortableI play most of my chess games on computer (either solo or against another player), but occasionally I like to play chess with a traditional board if I'm teaching someone or if we're playing casually. When I was in the market for a board, I knew I wanted something fairly traditional and without frills. I didn't need or want a tournament board, and I wanted something I could tote with me easily. This board fit everything I was looking for.The board itself is a simple but attractive bi-fold box with inlaid tiles. The board is on the smaller side, but is big enough to play without knocking other pieces over. The interior of the box has a cheap brown felt lining which covers the top and bottom of the storage compartment. The compartment is not partitioned for individual pieces. The pieces come in two plastic bags, which is how I recommend keeping them (unless you're unmoved by the prospect of the pieces banging around in the storage compartment). The hinges and lock on the box are fairly strong, too.The pieces themselves are serviceable. They're attractive but plain, somewhat lightweight, with a felt bottom. They're heavy enough to stay put, but that's about all I can say about the pieces. The one thing I liked about them was there was no bishop/pawn ambiguity which seems to be present on other sets. Also, since white and black (maple and rosewood, actually) are quite different in shade, you won't get the other player's pieces mixed up with yours. As ridiculous as that may sound, I have that issue on glass boards with clear and frosted pieces.If you're not expecting an extravagant showpiece board, you'll get a lot of mileage from this set. It is simple and plain, to be sure, but it distills the game down to its essential elements only, which to me is where the true enjoyment of chess lies. 4Great chess set for the beginning playerI'm very happy with this chess set, which I purchased for my 8-year-old. He's new at chess and this set is value priced and fairly well constructed for a child. The board surface is small, so you'll want to consider the measurements provided in the description to estimate what you'll be getting. I found the pieces to be fine and the folding board with storage is convenient and easy for a child to handle. Overall this is a great choice for an entry level player. Older and more experience players will definitely want to look at more pricey, larger, and higher quality models.UPDATE, October 2011: I just upped this review from 4 stars to 5 stars. Three years after purchase this chess set is still holding up and looks brand new. A great purchase at this price! 5WONDERFUL for the money!We received this set for our son and are VERY impressed for the price. It appears to be well-made, the pieces are all there and made in a consistent quality. I LOVE the fact that the board folds together for storage, and the inside is lined with fabric, making it even nicer. Honestly, not sure what all the complaints have been about - the size is perfect (not big, but definitely not a "travel size"), and for something that is such a low price I'm very impressed with the quality - it reminds me of the set that my dad has been using since high school. If you're looking for a large set that takes up a lot of room, this isn't for you. If you're looking for a set with true "black and white" pieces, it's not for you (the pieces are made of wood, so why would you expect that?!) If you just want a decent set to use that's not made with cheap plastic pieces and a cardboard playing board, this set is definitely worth it! 5Decent setThis is a decent set for the price. It's nothing fancy, but it serves its purpose and gets the job done. It's small enough to travel with and is perfect for throwing in a bag for a weekend getaway. I'm just learning how to play, so it's the ideal set. 5Great Starter Chess SetI'm not much of a chess player, but my wife and I picked up our old glass set one day and really enjoyed playing each other. The glare on the set was a bit much so I set out to find a replacement. I ran across this one and the price wasn't bad so I ordered it not sure what to expect. It came in and is perfect for our needs. The pieces are a bit lighter than expected, but the board folds in half and everything fits inside of it so i guess they can't be too big/heavy.It was worth the money and I'm happy I purchased it. 5Average quality chess set, with very light pieces (only tested the 10.5 inch version)This chess set is "kind of" OK, but if you spend any reasonable amount of time over the board, you will not find it satisfactory. I certainly did not, because the pieces are light and fall over with every other nudge. I suppose it will do for small kids as a toy, since the price is right, but I also don't see it working well for any serious learning for kids > 5yo. It might do for occasional play, but in general do yourself a favor and get good quality board with heavy pieces.Note that I am writing about the 10.5 inch version. I know the same manufacturer has larger sets (15 inch?) and I think the comments are bundled on Amazon, so take that into consideration as I have NOT tested the larger version. 2Great chess board. Super quality wooden pieces, Perfect size !I wasn't expecting such a good kit for the money. This is a nice kit, the box folds out into the playing board and the pieces come in separate sacks. The inside is felt lined. The board and pieces are of really good quality surprisingly. Everyone likes this board they are surprised and I'm happy with it! 5
