Having just received this as a gift from my stepdaughter for Father's Day (which I coordinated with my wife based on the other reviews here), I am especially disappointed at the horrific quality. The pieces are so poorly made that they are tilting, wobbly, and easily fall over on their own during play. Some of the pieces were cut haphazardly and the black King tilts like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It would be funny and a no-brainer to simply return if it weren't for the shock after the positive reviews. It makes me suspect that the other reviews are placed by people at the company who makes this item. Hate to say it, but this set is crap and absolutely NOT worth the money. And I think the reviews are quite possibly placed by shills, not actual customers. Junk, junk, junk.

Just right for a pleasant game of chess on the porch. The pieces are a traditional design and do not feel too light or plasticy. The magnetic catch holds things closed well. The printed instructions are in very small type, poorly translated from chinese, and completely worthless. If you need instruction help with these basic games, turn to the internet.
