Emisario Flex Pad Combo

I love this chess set, the pieces have a good feel to them and it's nice and big for great functionality and its portable and easy to travel with! I love the color of the olive board with the black and white pieces. The flex pad has a really good feel to it. I run a chess night at a coffee shop and I think people are really going to like this one.

Got this for my first chess set. The mat lays flat and the rubber bottom keeps it secure during play. Now to the important part. The color. I got the coral. The execution of that color was spot on. The mat the color is printed on has a grey/blue tint to it. I wasn’t crazy about the color combo when opening but after I laid it out I really liked it. I think you can depend on the color you choose being vibrant just remember that the mat has a tint to it too. I’ll be buying more colors to have options.

This is a great set for at home or on-the-go. The pieces are are nicely weighted and feel very solid, especially during rapid play. I also really like the design of the pieces, particularly the knight. The piece details and matte finish give them a high quality look and feel. The mold lines are fairly prominent, but nothing beyond what you'd expect for a plastic set at this price point. I may sand them down in the future if it bothers me enough, and I would be able to do so because the color is solid throughout. The flex pad has a mouse pad feel to it, rolls and unrolls easily and flat, and there is great definition and color in the printing. The bag feels a little cheesy with the board hanging off the bottom, but it performs exactly as advertised and simplifies carrying the set around. Knowing I can get replacement single pieces gives me peace of mind. Overall I would say the quality of the entire set is an excellent value and falls into the perfect range of looking and playing very nicely without making me fear traveling with the set or letting it out of my sight. Pictured are the black and tan Emisario pieces with steel blue board.

Got this set for the Flex Pad which I read had excellent feedback plus the triple weighted pieces. Satisfied with the pieces. It is heavy and have a nice feel to it. The finishes on the pieces maybe can be improved but should not be complaining knowing the pieces are plastic.

Used the set mainly for picnics with friends and the the Flex Pad faced its first few tests when someone spilled soda on it, then dropped it in the sand (picnic in the desert). And all these does not damage the pad. After rinsing and drying it a bit with towels, it is good to go.

Really happy with it and would recommend to anyone looking for a plastic set with good value of money.

This was a gift for our teenaged son who is just getting into chess. It is an ideal set to learn on, or really for anyone. The roll up mat is large and easy to see, and the weighted pieces are well crafted. Thank you especially for getting the set to all the way to us on the East Coast in time for the holidays despite the best efforts of the USPS.

Just what you need to play relaxing chess day or night. Easy to transport for playing in the park.

The right size, scale and weight - stayes where you put it. And I really like the heft and feel of the pieces.

I can’t figure out a better chess set that is this resistant to damage and still good looking for such an affordable price!

This set is perfect for what I wanted. Nice weight for the pieces, I love the flex board. It arrived ahead of schedule. Perfect transaction. Very satisfied.
