Chess4Life Starter Set

The board is pretty standard, but an excellent size and weight. Pieces are fairly heavy giving mass to keep pieces in place. Piece bottoms are covered in felt so moves effortlessly on the vinyl board. Overall, a great addition to our small chess class. Hopefully the full size pieces will inspire some of the kids to take their chess to competitions.
Delivery and support have been fast and friendly. Will be back for more!

I bought this chess set because I taught my coworkers how to play chess. We learned on a very tiny, 60-year-old board. I like the big, durable pieces because these new players can very easily tell the differences between them. One complaint I heard from a coworker was that the size of the board made it, "hard to see all the action at once," like with a smaller board. I think they got over it, though, haha. My only suggestion would be to include some kind of "starter guide," like a small sheet of paper that tells new players how to set up the board and what all of the pieces do. I'm not always going to be here to answer their questions, so having a quick reference would be nice. I'm looking at the board right now as I write this review, and I see that white has been set up on the wrong side of the board and the white queen is starting on the wrong square haha.

Was very impressed with the quality of the set and the weight of the pieces!

The order was delivered quickly and everything was as described. I would order again from Chess House.

Very pleased dealing with Chess House. The starter chess set that I purchased was an excellent value. My grandson and I are very happy with it.

This chess set arrived about a week ago and has been getting daily use since. My daughters play each other every day at least once, often more. I would definitely recommend this set, although az much as they use it, i wish i had purchased the set with the travel bag.

Good quality and arrived quick. Perfect size for little kids to learn and play. Easy wipe clean.

You have always been great. Thank you.

Great Quality at a Great Price. Board and pieces arrived quickly. There was a dark (ink?) mark on the new board about the size of pencil eraser, but I'm not terribly concerned because after enough use it'll get marks on it. The heft/weight of the pieces feels pretty good and the portability of the board and pieces is nice. You'll have to find a nicer bag to tote the pieces around in besides the plastic bags that the pieces come in. I also liked the idea that somebody else suggested for a different game of cutting a pvc "bazooka" tube for the board to protect it and for ease of locating your chess board. Overall I'd buy it again for sure and may end up getting another board in near future because of the low price and great longevity quality and ease of transport.

Dealing with you guys is always a joy. I am always excited when the delivery man brings up the goodies I order from you.
My chess neighborhood club now is really good looking with these boards around and more and more player are joining us every week.
Thanks a lot.

Great deal for the price considering real chess sets are almost impossible to find in stores

Attractive, slightly weighted pieces and a really good quality vinyl board. These are perfect for our school's new chess club. Students really like the size and feel of the chessmen.

All the chess students whose ancient falling part school sets were upgraded to the Starter Set loved the colors, board size, board SMELL - that is important - and makemanship of the pieces. Thanks for offering such a great product.

Really good set for the price. I'm happy with the board and the pieces. Everything arrived in perfect condition and on time.

Nice big boards with nice pieces, my kids love them.
