I got the new basic chess set and it was exactly what I expected. The new chess set smell was strong but I used 409 cleaner to get rid of the smell for both the board and the pieces. I did not expect the pieces to be dull tent rather than gloss but it has posed no problem.

I use the chess pieces to follow along games in chess publications.

Fast delivery and Perfect for our chess club

High quality and affordable. Balanced, so they won't tip over while moving them. The weight is just right. An added plus is extra queens for when a pawn reaches the last row, and your queen is still on the board. Perfect for personal as well as for club use. I highly recommend these pieces!

Everything you need for club or tournament play at a very affordable price!
