5.0 out of 5 stars Great for projects
This is a great affordable chess set. My daughter is using it to make a custom Digital Circus chess set. She is using air dry clay and making the characters from the show. This is a great project for a bored teen/tween. The pieces are very lightweight so they work perfectly with the clay.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great starter set
Bought this to teach my son how to play. He loves chess now. Everything was great.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good introductory board
Without mentioning the name of the massively popular television show which took over the back end of 2020, the game of Chess has not only re-introduced itself to the next generation of passionate chess players but also inspired curiosity in those looking to try something new.I purchased this board for the same reason you are browsing in this price range. My initial impressions of the game as a young person did not garner much appeal. However, and similar to the rest of the intrigued world, I realized I needed an inexpensive for myself to understand the game on my own terms. I'm happy to have had an inexpensive barrier of entry towards better understanding the game of Chess.This style of chess set is the most affordable cost of introducing yourself to the game or perhaps just another addition to your family board game collection.Yes, this is a "cheap" chess set, but its not terrible.The chess board is a coated folding cardboard, but the price-point quality is better than my memory of inexpensive chess sets when perusing my grandparent's gameboard collection. The chess squares measure 2"x2" and the plastic piece sizes replicate the size and feel of any casually friendly game you may experience with a friend or family member. In addition, the set also comes with easy to understand instructions.After enjoying several games with my family and this chess set over the holidays, we have since moved on to a folding wooden chess board with wooden carved chess pieces and keep this backup set in our board game collection.I recommend this board to anyone looking to try the game out and hope you enjoy this set for what it is, a game to enjoy with friends and family.
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfectly good beginner set.
This is a good set for the price. The bottom of the box has fallen apart. Not sure why everything else, including the box top, is decent quality, and the box bottom is not up to its simple job.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nice economical chess set for beginners!
My grandsons have begun to learn and play chess, and my wife wanted to learn a bit in order to encourage their playing. I had given away a pair of chess sets that I had acquired over the years to my two grandsons. So we did not have anything at home any more!This set is a quite affordable basic offering for anyone starting out. The included "rule sheet" left much to be desired. But frankly, it is futile to try to explain chess in a single page instruction sheet!I'd recommend this set to anyone who wants to begin to learn the game and who needs a basic set with the classic chess piece designs!
3.0 out of 5 stars Not as pictured on the box
Let's start with the positives: the pieces are solid and mostly reasonably sized (though the pawns seem a bit smaller than I'd expect). The board is a reasonable size in terms of length and width, with dark brown and off-white squares. In short, if you brought out this chess set to play with a friend, it wouldn't impress anyone, but it's not distractingly small/cheap.On the minus side, a few things:- First and foremost, the board is thin. It's not as flimsy as the No Stress Chess board, but it's about half as thick as I'd expect a board game board to be.- Second, and likely the more practical concern, is that the box is flimsy paperboard, much more like a cereal box than a board game box. I'm not confident it will survive many uses.- Third, and most concerning: the contents of the box clearly don't match the picture on the box. From the board margin, to the logos, to the color of the board, to the copyright notice on the board, it's just clearly a picture of a different product.Overall, the impression I get is that Pressman used to make decent toy chess sets, and someone figured out how to wring a few extra pennies per box, and just reused the old picture. It's a real shame that with just a little thicker cardboard in a few places and a plainer design, they could have had a great value chess set. Instead, they saved pennies and made something that's fine to play with but makes me grumble a little every time I reach for it.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for new chess players
We grabbed a bunch of these to donate to our school’s new chess program. They work great for new chess players, and the cost is great.
5.0 out of 5 stars Love this set !!
I got these to play with my friends to practice casually. I found other similar ones in the market but the price were somewhat higher than I wanted since I just wanted to practice. This was perfect for me since the board and pieces were standard size. I would recommend this to everyone who just wants a basic chess set for their kids or themselves. This is the best chest set I found for the price range this has. Would definitely recommend to others if they are looking for a similar size.
Not travel friendly, but a good set!
Bought this for my brother. He liked it. In fact right now as I'm writing this review, he's using it. He looked up some Internet chess puzzles/games and uses them as references to play this chess set. A good buy. Highly recommend. Pieces are sturdy, game board is visually appealing and will last long.
Had Higher Expectation at this price
Decent chess set but expected better quality at this price.
Chess
Love this set.Highly recommended.
It’s ok for the price, prompt delivery
It’s just a typical board game type of cardboard chessboard and the chess pieces are ok. Nothing fancy but it’s a cheaper price too, so a good beginner set. I Wish that at least the cardboard packaging is a bit sturdier because that holds everything and is super flimsy
Fun
This was for my daughter and she fonds it very easy to play as she can recognize the pieces better than other chessboard games
