Editorial Review

This Master Chess set will soon have you on your way to declaring checkmate. Included are a durable folding chess board and pieces of solid, weighted chess pieces, which resemble authentic tournament pieces. Neutral wood tones cover the board and the playing pieces, providing a nice alternative to black and white (alas, the pieces are plastic despite their faux-wood appearance). This set is a great choice for an intermediate player looking to move up from a beginner board. --Heather Hawkins

This set has an easy to look at chess board. The pieces are the official size and weight of proffesional chess tournaments. This would be the set of choice for chess fans everywhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A simple, rugged, and well built chess set., December 5, 2001

The pieces are classic Staunton style, solid plastic, and regulation size. They will not break from being knocked onto the hard floor. (but you would be surprised at how they bounce around!) The board is your typical cardboard gameboard, but it's the right size and it gets the job done in good taste. It's kind of an advantage that this isn't a fancy set, because it forces you to concentrate more on the game. I bought this set to keep at work. If it gets stolen or busted up, I'm not out of much money. If you need a good quality chess set, but don't want to break the bank this is a good way to go. It's a great way to get into the world's best 2 person game.

The Master Chess set makes playing chess very pleasurable. The games pieces are brilliantly detailed, resemble actual tournament size and weight, and the set is very easy to carry around with it's thicker than average game box. Of course, it's not the best quality chess set in the market, but for the intermediate player, it's the best chess set available for it's price, hand's down.
