About The 3" Plastic Club Chess Pieces
These 3" chess pieces are slightly smaller than the standard size club chessmen (3 3/4") used primarily in classrooms, clubs, events. The benefit of this size is that they are large enough to grasp by youth or adults, yet small enough to be suited to the 17" chessboard size. This means you can have more sets per playing area and fit any desks that are not large enough for a full size board.
- 3" King Height
- 1 1/4" King Base
- 1 1/2" Pawn height
- 32 pieces total, no extra queens
- Paper felt bases
- Recommended Board Size: 17" with 1.75" squares
Product Specs
This is in response to Chess Fan who placed lead weights in the hollow part of the 3" king set. Not a good idea lead, should not be used in anything where a kid (children) might come in contact with the set. Better option would be to use copper or steel bb's to add weight.
Fischer Ultimate sets back in the 1980's used lead weights and I think the EPA may have banned them. In the 1980's they were call "Ultimate Chess Pieces". Nice set but I think they went out of business and then someone came out with the Fisher Ultimate. No lead in those pieces.
These pieces DO NOT have lead weights. This review is confusing since it is recommending against someone who apparently added weight to the pieces. To be 100% clear, these pieces do not have any weights in them.
This are very inexpensive pieces so there is not much to critique, but I would sugest that unless you are using a very small board pay a few more dollars and get the standard size version.
Fit well with the 17in roll up board I picked up. Very good for the price. I like it.
I have two small (15" & 17" ) chess boards with pieces that were too big and too small - and could not be interchanged. Paul responded promptly with this suggestion after my inquiry. They arrived quickly and are perfect for my need. Thanx, Paul (and Chess House)!
I understand the part about cost versus quality but, in this instance, the pendulum swung a little too far towards cheap looking.
