Good set |
|
| When I ordered this I thought I had scored a real find: 2.7oz 4.125" King for $20! Alas, the reality is that the King is only 2.3oz. Still a great set, and identical to the one I've gotten from other suppliers around this price point, but the typo in the description is unfortunate. Customer support was very nice when I contacted them, and they're intended to fix the typo. Great set, though. Substantial. A real best buy. Careful of the pointy queens, though. |

great steal value for this collosal triple weighted set |
|
| This IDEAL set is just as great as the Big Knight Set. It will augment your enjoyment when playing with it guaranteed. But why the pointy Queens again?Necessarily pair this one up with the 2.25 " squared board; otherwise the set will look crowded on the regular 20" board. Wide bases; great stability; sheer elegance based on the classic Jaques of London original design patented in the first decade of the 19th century. You can easily make it your "Sunday" playing set. However that doesn't compr... |

Great Deal |
|
| For $20, this set is a steal. My set came with a few minor cosmetic imperfections (a few little bits of plastic flashing that I trimmed off with an Exacto knife), but these were truly minor. The pieces themselves are elegantly designed and the extra weight makes them a true joy to play with. You would probably have to pay two to three times this amount to get a set that was 1% better. |

Great Value is Right! |
|
| I just received this set from The Chess Store, and I'm very impressed with the set, and with TCS as well. The product is very well made, great size, and nicely weighted with felt bottoms. The service was exceptional, in that, my order shipped within 12 hours, and I ordered on a Sunday night. Here it is Thursday and my boys are playing chess on their new set as we speak! Thanks very much, Chess Store folks! You rock!! -Duane. |

Deluxe Triple Weighted Plastic Chess Pieces |
|
| These are perfect. They are larger and heavier than your standard pieces and they feel great. They are finished nicely and the price is unbeatable for the quality. I highly recommend these and the service from the Chess Store is outstanding. |

You'll not be disappointed with Chess Store products |
|
| In June 2010, I had bought 2 sets of "Value Club Chess" on behalf of my Chess Club. The membership was generally very pleased with the inexpensive but good quality products. So I decided to treat myself with a even better quality "Deluxe Triple Weighted Chess" set. My order on July 3 -- not a holiday in Canada -- was followed up by the Customer Services even on July 4. I was impressed! When the Chess set arrived at my door a week later -- with excellent services from UPS. I opened the box, an... |

Great chess pieces!! |
|
| I don't buy many things via the internet very often,because i like to see what im getting before i pay for it. The pictures and descriptions The Chess Store uses to advertise are VERY accurate. I was amazed at how nice the set was when i received it. Very sturdy set and NICELY weighted. The queens do have rather sharp points that could be hazardous to small children,but they let you know that in the ad. Overall im very happy with this chess set,and can recommend them to anyone who wants a nic... |

Ideal for Tournament Play |
|
| This set reminds me of those big wooden pieces that they used to play with on old fashioned and huge cardboard chessboards back in the old days in Eastern Europe.. The set has a very substantial feel and the quality is superlative given this price range. Pieces are a joy to look at and play with. |

Built for tournament play |
|
| This fine set is the one currently being used at the legendary Hastings Tournament 2009-2010 on green and white vinyl boards. You can't get more sturdy, heavy, attractive staunton style set at this price. |

Value Triple Weighted Plastic Chess Set |
|
| I have recently received two of the value triple weighted sets, one for myself and one for my adult son. The size and extra weight are a joy to play with, the bishops have very nice curvature other bishops do not, and the knights have excellent detail with ears that look good but are moulded in such a way that they will not break off. Rooks have good mass, and the pawns are not too narrow in the neck. Time will tell if the glossy finish will last, it looks great now. I have another plastic se... |
