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 with two extra queens in the event you are a good enough player to promote a pawn into an extra queen. Pieces have green felted bottoms and come packaged in heavy zip lock bags. Our green and cream 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.

This review is from: Best Value Tournament Chess Set Filled Chess Pieces and Green Roll-Up Vinyl Chess Board Game (Toy)

These are nice pieces with a large roll up board. If you've played on small or strange chess sets before this will be a break for your eyes and your brain. It's very easy to see each piece on the green white board and the pieces are large but not too large for the size of the board.

As advertised, this set comes with unweighted pieces. This means they don't weigh much and are constructed of hollow plastic. If you're looking for a weighted set, they sell this same one with weighted inserts that will offer a much heavier feel to your pieces. This one works fine, but just be aware that the pieces aren't weighted.

This review is from: Best Value Tournament Chess Set Filled Chess Pieces and Green Roll-Up Vinyl Chess Board Game (Toy)

I love it because it's nice & big to play with --the right size, & it's light & portable & flexible. All you need is a flat surface to lay it on set up the pieces & start playing immediately. Also it's very good on the eyes & easy to see where all the pieces --black & white are because you can see the black pieces clearly against the green squares. I can't think of any way to improve it!
