I liked the design of the pieces and the size, but after some time (after play and lots of blitz) the weights at the bottom completely fell out. I tried super gluing them back together but that didn't work. Looking to throw these out and get new ones from a better dealer.

We bought this set for our 5 year old grandson, who showed an interest in chess while trying the game with lightweight toy-store pieces and a small unmarked board. The tactile and visual satisfaction of playing with ChessCentral's well-constructed heavy-weight pieces (no tipping!), and learning his chess notation easily via the large bright board with its clearly marked ranks and files has changed this child from a chess learner to a chess lover. Now our grandson wants to play chess more than he wants to play video games - now THAT'S worth the price alone. And the set is so terrific for everyday use that we plan to buy one for our other daughter's young kids as well. You can't go wrong with this choice!

This set is simply too fragile. Several of the black pieces shattered within 24 hours of getting the set. We have lots of tournament style chess sets, and this is the worst I've seen.

I ordered this chess set as a gift for my friend. When It arrived (quick by the way), It met beyond my expectations, except the pieces they shipped were non weighted. I emailed ChessCentral with this info. They quickly responded and informed me they will ship me out the triple weighted pieces right away, and that I can keep the non weighted pieces.

I thought Customer service like this doesn't exist anymore.

A few days later, I got the triple weighted pieces, (they feel very nice by the way) and they sent me a little queen chess piece key chain :)

The product is very nice for the price, you cant beat it! and the customer service is like no other.

I strongly recommended this product.

This chess set is plastic and all the pieces are heavily weighted. All the pieces have a wonderful solid feel. The board is a large piece of soft vinyl and is ideal for a friendly game of chess and then can be rolled up and easily stored. Also a great set for teaching my young grandsons how to play this wonderful game.

Chess Central package had two sets of black pieces; can only be returned for credit as not an Amazon item.

Love the set. The look, weight, and feel of it is professional and durable. Bought it to be used with a Chessboard-stand. The vinyl board and pouch makes extremely portable and fun to play with the kids.

This is a great set. Comes with triple weighted pieces in a great classic Staunton design. ChessCentral includes a vinyl board and bag so you need nothing else to start playing chess. I would highly recommend this set.
