I have bought this for my grandson who is beginning to ‘get into’ chess. It is a birthday present, so it has not yet been opened. Assuming the product inside is as described, I will be happy in the near future to recommend it heartily. If there are any problems with it, I will get in contact too. Thank you. It arrived very much on time, so top marks for that.

I bought this for my grandson so that he could learn to play it with his dad. They are both very happy with it. It’s not fancy, it’s just as it should be – plain and straightforward for learning. It is substantial and nicely made, very good value indeed. For some reason the white draughts are a tiny bit smaller than the black draughts. The board is hinged down the middle and that forms the box, so I just wish there was some way that the pieces could be secured in the box when the board is open and in use, i.e. so that the chess pieces are still fastened in whilst you’re playing draughts.

Arrived quickly and well packaged with all the pieces in. It came with a strong smell of aerosol – a sign of being new I assumed? This soon went after a few days but was a bit off putting at first.
The set is well made and robust, and having the choice of two games is useful. I liked the way you store the game parts and it’s very useful to transport – we’ve taken this away with us several times and it’s always used.
