This is the ONLY reasonably priced chess set that I could find which would encourage a young girl's interest in the game. There are many such sets for boys. It is a great set and my daughter really enjoys it. The pieces are recognizable enough that one can easily move between this and a traditional chess set. Two drawbacks are: 1) the chess "board" that comes with this set is the metal one printed on the back of the box. It is not easy or pleasant to use. I bought my daughter a red and white vinyl roll up board and bag from a chess website - we don't use their box at all. 2) The red and pink knights are a bit difficult, but not impossible, to distinguish from one another. In general, I highly recommend this set - lots of little girls are drawn to it. My daughter who just turned five is now pretty good at and definitely interested in the game.

My husband and I purchased this chess set for our daughter two years ago for Christmas (she was almost 7 at the time). Our family is big into chess, and we wanted to get our daughter her own chess set. This set is super cute for little girls (or any Hello Kitty fan), and my daughter relates much better to this set than the traditional pieces. Rather than having to always play chess with someone else's set when we have our family chess tournaments, she can bring out her very own set to use. We like that the box is made of metal, (no cardboard to wear out and tear), and the chess board is printed right on the back of the box, (no separate board to get broken, mis-folded, etc). All of the figures are plastic, so no worries if one rolls of the table onto the floor like with some other specialty chess sets. We feel that this was a great deal for the money, and two years after purchase, it's still one of our daughter's favorite toys!

Well it seems that everyone here is reviewing the HELLO KITTY DOMINOES and not the HELLO KITTY CHESS GAME. It looks like the reviews got put on the wrong page. Well anyway! I am here to talk about THE HELLO KITTY CHESS GAME. My husband just ordered it for me today. I absoluetly LUUUUUUUUUUUV!!!!!!! ANYTHING HELLO KITTY & this set looks so cute! I remember looking at this set a while back and wanting it but back then they were asking like $34.99 for it. (something like that) and I thought that was a bit much. When I saw yesterday how much the price had dropped I knew I had to get it. I think it's neat that they use HELLO KITTY characters for the chess pieces. TOO CUTE!!!! One side is red & the other side is pink. That is much better than the standard black & white I think. Well when I get the set I can write more about it but you can pretty much see what you will be getting from the pictures. I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS SET TO ANY HELLO KITTY FAN ESPECIALLY NOW WHILE THE PRICE IS SO LOW. How else could you collect so many little HELLO KITTY figures so cheaply????? It's just a terrific deal!!!!! 15+ stars. HELLO KITTY, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!! AND THANK YOU SANRIO FOR MAKING HER! LIFE IS GOOD!!!!
