Grantham –
An excellent chess set. Yes the board is compact but perfectly serviceable and it makes for a neat, practical, unit. The wooden construction is attractive and the draws work well keeping everything together. Portable, functional and practical – no complaints.
Emyll Solar –
The board is large, professionally crafted and labeled; the outside of it does not feel cheap at all, the inside might, but it is functional with its plastic compartment for the pieces that keeps them from bouncing around and getting damaged.The pieces are beautiful, very nice colors and the sizes and proportions work; they could weigh more, sure, but they are not going to be knocked down by a sneeze. And, you could, if you felt so strongly about it, add some more weight, I am sure.
