One of the best |

I purchased the Hasting Combo last month and it has been one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. The quality of these pieces is wonderful much better than you would think for the cost. The weigh is great and I find myself playing with those more than any other set.

I purchased the Hastings chess combo & I'm very pleased. The weighted pieces feel great & the detail is superb. The leather roll up board is superior to the vinyl & better yet, it has a nice feel to it. The bag is a must, everything fits nicely.
One draw back about the size is it is larger than what I'm use to playing on, so now I get a larger picture of my 6 year old son destroying me. I can't figure it out, I'm not stupid, I can read a detailed schematic & my 6 year old can hardly read, but when it comes to chess I can't beat him. Presently he has 47 wins & I have 5. Thanks to "the Chess House" for making chess products that in turn bring people closer together.

Best Bargain |

I love this set of chess pieces. In fact, I love it so much I bought two (black & natural and red & ivory). The Hasting pieces have the best quality-per-price ratio of any plastic chessmen that I know of. The moldings are almost as nice of those of the more expensive Collector Series by House of Staunton, and the knight is absolutely beautiful. I don't agree that the rook is too large compared to the knight. These two pieces have virtually the same relative proportions as they do in the Collector Series. The Hastings rook is simply more tapered. This is a large set, so I recommend using it on a board with at least 2-3/8 inch squares to meet USCF standards.

Love the design of the knight, but it's too short in comparison to the rook. Sorry have to pass on this one.
