Great chess pieces

These pieces are exactly what I wanted -- durable, nice height, heavy, well made, and an extra queen for each side.

Nice, but not the ultimate tournament set...

They are calling it Bobby Fischer's set these days, but I knew it as the ultimate tournament chess set. Rubberized pieces, nice and heavy, and a matte black and off-white set that conceal the fact it is rugged and intended for rapid play...

This set matches the weight, however the almost florescent bright white makes it feel plasticky and cheap in comparison.

Anyone serious about the game and not looking for cosmetic beauty will enjoy this set. I will need to break it in before I can tell if the weights will become loose as sadly they do in the ultimate tournament set
