Really nice set for the serious player.
Triple weighted, and well made with a smooth finish. Comes with a second queen of each color for the successful pawn! Nice case with room for a clock and notation cards.

Very nice, no-frills chess set
Overall, I am extremely happy with this set and the company I bought it from. This chess set arrived on time, but with issues. First, the black queen was broken in half; and second, the strap anchor point on the case broke within hours of using it. However, I contacted Wholesale chess right away and they sent me a new queen and bag, no questions asked. This was some of the best customer support that I have seen in quite some time.As for the set itself, it's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done quite nicely. It's compact, easy to use, and durable. I've taken it all sorts of places and makes for a nice game of chess wherever I go.

Couldn't ask for a better chess board.
This chess set is perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better one. I play chess with my friends all the time and this set makes it easier to play since it is easy to transport. The quality of the board is excellent, I have learned though that you have to roll it up checkered face down in order for it to not be a hassle when trying to play again. The pieces themselves are perfectly weighted. Something that was not mentioned or I simply did not see is, there is a place for a chess rule book in the case. There's nothing wrong with that, but i don't have a rule book nor do I plan on buying one. I simply keep a deck of cards in there in case someone wants to play cards after playing chess. I would most defiantly buy this chess board again and I recommend it to anyone looking to buy a nice chess board.

and weighted nicely, and felted
A+ Product. Pieces heavy and quality, and weighted nicely, and felted. Canvas bag is awesome and quality with nice zipper pouches for pieces and space for a clock, and pencils, etc. Only downside is the cardboard box it comes in says "Wholesale Chess" which doesn't really communicate the right message when this set is given as a gift. However, we pulled the product out of that box, and put the set in a gift bag, and since the product's bag itself is so nice, the cardboard box downside was eliminated. I would recommend the company make a nicer cardboard box and instantly improve the product. Will be buying one for myself. Was sad to gift it away. Buy it no regrets.

No Brainer
Extremely good value for money. The board and pieces are big but standard size for chess clubs and tournament play. If you are looking for something small then search for travel sets instead.There was some off-gasing from the vinyl board but nothing terrible. It doesn't lie perfectly flat after being rolled up for long periods but again it's not an issue unless you have OCD.The pieces are great and have a good heft. I've only used them for a short time so can't speak to wear-and-tear issues but for this price I'm not sure I would care too much. They include an extra Queen for both colors.The bag seems standard and is of good quality. Again I've not used it enough to see how it holds up (and I generally take care of my stuff so I'm not a good test case). It has two internal pouches (with center-line zippers) for storing the pieces which I love. There is another pouch for storing one's chess clock. That pouch has the annoying feature of the zipper being on the side and *bottom* edges of the pouch which makes putting away and taking out the clock awkward. It's probably done this way to avoid expensive clocks falling out of the bag because the people forget to zipper up properly. Still annoying though.All in all this is a no-brainer if you are a club player or you just play at your local pub, or just want to keep all you chess stuff in one easy to grab bag. What's not to like about that.

Perfect Travel Set!!!
Ordered this set with an open-mind not knowing what to expect and was very impressed for sure. My biggest question was the "plastic pieces", and they DID NOT disappoint at all! Even threw in a set of extra Queens! The travel bag was quite impressive also. Surprisingly, sturdy and well constructed, perfect for travel. Gives you extra space for a clock, pen, move lists, and books. Overall, I could not have been more pleased with everything!

Great Buy
I bought this traveling chess set for my trip to Europe, and I have to say it was a great purchase. The pieces are magnetic and stick to the board even when the plane hits turbulence. The board folds up and fits in my backpack easily. The best part is that I can play chess with strangers I meet along the way. It's a great conversation starter and a fun way to pass the time. I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves chess and traveling.

Just great overall.
Great i love this product already used it so much that the pieces have a little bit of scratches but that’s just normal. I love the set it’s very plesant and very very high quality i appreciate the set and will definitely recommend to anyone who’s looking to buy a set. ALSO the board is water resistant got some water on it but no damage smell or defects.
