Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)- I received my chess sets today and was very excited (Hey, I'm a nerd. What do you expect?). I was first impressed by the quality of the vinyl board. It's a little thicker and sturdier than I expected and lays out nicely (the corner curls go away after about 5 minutes).
- The pieces come in ziploc bags, two of which burst open during shipping but all pieces were accounted for and hey, that's what the little black bag is for.
- Speaking of the little black bag, it looked like cloth on the website but it turns out to be tightly woven vinyl threads and has a sturdy zipper, an unexpected plus. It should last for a very long time and the front design is nice; it says, "I know my chess but I'm still a fun guy!" At least it would if bags could talk.
- The pieces, however, were a little disappointing. I remember other triple weighted sets feeling heavier than these. In fact, I think they feel more like double weighted but I've been working out so who knows. You may have to judge for yourself.
All-in-all, I would say this is a very good deal for a durable, weighted, tournament qualifying set. I would have given this set 4.5 stars but that is not an option.
