Product Description

Our lowest priced and best value tournament size chessmen and board set. It includes our solid plastic black and cream chess pieces with a tournament sized 3.75" king. Pieces have green felted bottoms and come packaged in heavy zip lock bags. Our black and white vinyl roll-up board with 2.25" squares includes algebraic notation for game analysis. The perfect chess set for tournaments and classrooms looking for a tournament size chess set and board at the lowest price on Amazon! These plastic Staunton chess pieces are a perfect combination of beauty, price and durability. Every set is made of the best quality plastic and displays exquisite design and workmanship. This set meets the World Chess Federation's (FIDE) height, weight, and proportions standards for tournament play. It is standard within the chess community to call these "Solid Plastic" because they are NOT hollowed-out. These are plastic filled except for a very small space where a weight would fit, but the remaining piece is plastic filled. These are not the hollow plastic pieces that are very light weight that are available for sale for beginners. The plastic fill gives them a heavier, sturdier feel than a hollowed-out set of plastic chess pieces. These are not "weighted" and are not advertised to be weighted. The total weight of the chess pieces is approximately 1 lb. as described in the product features section.

If you are looking at buying a chess set for a school or community chess club, this is the one you want. It's cheap, the pieces are indestructible, and it's what everyone uses at U.S. Chess Federation tournaments.

And, if you get a choice, you want green and white for the board.

This is a good starter set for someone that wants the feel of playing with a set of pieces that are weighted quiet well and are tourment sized pieces. I am happy that the pieces are made as good as they are so when i move them i can tell they are in my hand. The playing board is shaky ground and what i did was use another board which is a hard broad to play on and since you are getting a good price on the pieces you can afford to fine you a broad to play on. So my final statement is that the pieces are worth what you are paying and second just get you another broad to play them on.

Pieces feel very sturdy and the mat is a decent quality. You might need to place this by a window or vent when you first receive because the mat has a really strong plastic/neoprene smell at first.
