    THANKS FOR YOUR EXCELLENT SERVICE

    The customer service provided by Chesshouse is truly impressive. International deliveries can be fraught and the first order was untraceable with the courier failing to accept responsibility.
    Chesshouse supplied a replacement chess set, only asking me for a contribution towards delivery costs with another courier.
    The attention to detail and courtesy provided by Chesshouse during such a frustrating episode was outstanding and greatly appreciated.
    The outcome is that my husband, who’s in residential aged care, is delighted with his new electronic chess set and I’m so very happy to recommend this company with a shiny five stars!

    Chess Genius PRO

    When I received my shipment it was perfectly packaged and when delivered there was not even a dent in the shipment box. The Genius Pro special edition was factory wrapped. When I attempted to install the batteries I had a huge disappointment, one of the battery contact springs was not attached. I saw that it was an easy fix and reattached it rather then sending it back. This, in no way was the fault of Chesshouse, just a quality control issue with Millennium. Other then that the board worked perfectly. Considering how long the Genius Pro has been around tech wise in its operations I would never would have guessed its age. The purchase and communicatiion with Chesshouse was great. I will certainly order from them again!

    Good

    I like this overall. The engine is very strong and challenging to play. I don’t like the chrome pieces. Just a personal choice but a standard color for white might be better. The case with this is nice and maybe it should come standard rather than special edition? But in this price range I’m more than satisfied

    Excellent Chess Set

    I purchased the Millennium Chess Genius Pro about three weeks ago, but my wife wanted to give it to me for Christmas. I opened it and was very impresses with it. Having a case to store it in was a plus. I am a beginner chess player so I haven't had a lot of time to really use it. I am really looking forward to learn to play chess and I truly believe I have the right chess set to help me. I also am very impressed with the packaging of the chess set and more importantly, the customer support. I know if I have a problem or concern, Chesshouse will be there to help me. Thank you Chesshouse.
