Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The pieces and board are slightly smaller than I expected, but not impractically so. (But if you have little kids, the pieces are are definitely swallow size.) Though the set looks delicate, it seems quite well-made and I expect it will hold up as long as no one steps on it - but that would ruin most chess pieces regardless of size, I suppose. I would say its probably a good set for kids 10+. However, my boyfriend and I are both 21 and neither of us feel silly playing with this set so I wouldn't worry about it being too kiddish for anyone.
This set is a solid step up from a toy, but obviously not something you would get for a serious chess player. I like the book box, it makes for easy storage, but the pieces come in little zip-lock bags and the black velvet-looking tray that comes in the box is just plastic and kind of dumb. I don't know why, but I sort of expected little form-fitting pockets inside the box for each piece. It doesn't really matter, though, I just made fancier bags for the pieces and we took the tray out to make a regular box. It was never a really big deal, but I'm still much happier now.
I don't want to go to OCD on you, but the box color is a little more red then the "black" chess board squares, and the "white" and "black" pieces are all slightly darker than the respectively colored squares. It makes them easier to see so its no biggie, but I thought I'd point it out since color was such a deciding factor for me when I bought this set. (I was ecstatic to find this set, because so few sets have brown "black" squares AND brown "black" pieces. Usually its brown "black" squares and BLACK "black" pieces. I know I sound like a freak, but its much pleasanter to play on a board where the color scheme makes sense.) Ok, I went pretty OCD. Sorry about that...
Anyway, if only I could win a game, I'd be perfectly happy.
