Bought this for an 8yr old,his first set and he loves it. The quality of the board and pieces is excellent. It would be good for an adult as well

This set is really nice. My six year old has taken an obsessive interest in Chess. He’s been playing on sets his dad and I have, but he needed one he could also take around to play with people at school. This set is perfectly sized. It’s big enough that you can see and move the pieces, but it’s small enough to fit neatly into a backpack.
