The value of this set for the money is fantastic! The pieces would work on any board size from 2", 2.25, or 2.5" - but would be a bit overcrowded and barely functional on the 2" square size board. The problem is I am color blind and cannot tell the difference between which side is which. Solution? Get another set of the same style and size in traditional Black and White gloss or the "Woodtech" version and then swap sided to create a light colored plus metalic set and a dark colored plus metallic set. These pieces look awesome and perhaps with sufficient overhead lighting and the right filter - I might be able to tell which side is which - so I will try that before getting an additional set.

Even more beautiful than expected.

I recommend the metallic pieces. They are just as beautiful as advertised and look amazing on the 22" Black & Birdseye Maple Veneer Board. A beautiful set.

Super Fast Delivery. Provided up to the minute information about shipping. Set as described. They look great. All the weight of the pieces are on the bottom. Almost to a falt. But you know when you have made a move. Very satisfied. Thanks Chesshouse.com
