Title: A beautiful chess. Set
Review: I bought this because I was skeptical of the reviews I read. One raved about it and another claimed that the board wrinkled and would not flatten out. Well you can put me on the rave side of the controversy. The pieces are in a plastic I've never seen. It is not like vinyl and not like resin. It has a very nice tactile feel in the hand. The weight is substantial and the size is perfect in my opinion. The king measures 3.75" tall. And it has 2 extra queens included. I was a little skeptical that one review stated that casting seams were non existent. There are some casting seams but I had to examine the pieces with a jewelers loupe to find them. They have been scraped to the point of oblivion. I am very impressed. Part of the body of the pieces is hollow, I shined a strong light through them. The head or finial on most pieces is solid and the bases are solidly weighted. The board is verrry flexible silicone material and any wrinkles or folds shake right out. No folds remaining. I.was very concerned that they would stay in and cause lumps and lines where the folds were. NOPE. The board fits into the case folded in half then in thirds. It's about an exact fit. The case is very nice and sturdy. It has a double zip heavy duty zipper closing at the bottom.there are 2 velvet bags for the pieces that have draw string closures 1 black and 1 white. There is a pocket in the case that is suitable for a notebook or literature. My old plastic chess set is more than 50 years old and very "chinky" plastic. This is light years from that one. After seeing this one and thourughly examining it in detail, I ordered on for my granddaughter and her family. I'm looking forward to some long distance matches with her. If you are on the fence about buying this set rest assured its a beautiful set and board. It's set up to be very portable, take it to the park or to a friend's house or for tournament play. It's a very good deal, buy it.

Title: Great Price, Amazing Quality, and Portability
Review: This is the best chess set I could have bought, and I can't imagine there's a better one out there at the same price. The pieces are nice and heavily weighted, and they feel high quality. I barely can notice any seams from the plastic molding process. The pouches/bags that hold the pieces look fantastic, and the little case to store everything in is the perfect size to fit everything comfortably but in a nice compact package to carry around anywhere with you. Don't hesitate to buy this set for your home, for the club, or anywhere really. A fantastic chess set that is full sized and extremely portable for travel, with quality, but at a price you don't have to worry about damaging it. Amazing!

Title: Perfect chess set all-round
Review: This one of the best chess sets you would ever get in this range of price.Pros:- The product is exactly as advertised and pictured. Thanks for A&A for being so accurate and prompt.- The material is very durable. It is a specially treated loaded plastic.- Excellent weighting for the pieces. No complain while playing. You will enjoy it.- The board is well made. It is of silicon. If you are new for using silicon board, please take time to search YouTube on how to use and store such board. Once stored the right way, when you are playing there is no single crinkling at all. It goes flat perfectly.- The pieces looks so elegant, smooth, and heavy.- The bag is of a very good material, and can store all pieces and and board perfectly.- The product comes in an elegant package (please Amazon ship such a product in a box and not an envelope to keep the original package in a shape that can be gifted)Cons:- My evaluation: did not happened to me but... I think the hand of the bag is a bit weak to hold this heavy set. I would recommend you hold it as a you hod a book and not from the hand.Enjoy a great product 🙂

Title: Quality, Fit, Feel, Useability
Review: I saw what other people in my smallish chess club were using, trouble folding/rolling their mat, or carrying their pieces. The first time I played with my set at chess club, one of the biggest sticklers was amazed by the quality and value. He said he would order one for himself right away.Hey, we work hard for our money (faux currency)⦠we like good stuff in return, as long as we canâ¦I love it, I suggest playing for fun, patterns, practice intuition, allow others to win a little. As long as youâre having fun! I really enjoy the parody of the pieces movements to the hypocrisy of the characters⦠end game is my favorite.Love the set!No wrinkles in the silicone mat, zero, and lays flat.Iâll dock one star for travel, it depends. To chess club, doesnât matter⦠5-stars ⦠for Airline Travel, leave it at home. The pieces are weighted, donât know the type of plastic, but feels good in your hands, solid, itâs gotta be 5~6 pounds at least. So leave it at home, unless youâre going to a match!

Title: Beautiful
Review: Pieces are spectacular, high attention to detail, weighty, well-crafted. The mat seems to be wrinkle resistant, no matter how many times you fold it and put it away. The booklets that come with it are plagued with broken English, but that's a small nitpick. It is a real pleasure to play with this set. Well done to A&A, will be buying from them again.

Review: If you're in doubt and need a full sized travel set or just something to play at home with, consider buying this set, price/quality ratio is fair in my opinion.Board size is 20x20 inches, you'll need a table that is slightly larger than that to have at least some place for captured figures and a clock if you have one (or a smartphone with one of the ChessClock apps).Pieces: all there + additional queen of each colour. Piece quality is good, plastic seam is tiny, no defects, matte finish (some other sets are glossy which is not recommended), white pieces have ivory tint, weight is sufficient, pieces aren't light for sure. Each piece has a circle of thick green felt on the bottom.Standards: square size, king size - as described but in general the set doesn't match FIDE requirements (from their website) for tournaments perfectly, like the knight is too high (+12% error with allowed 10% tolerance), pawn and rook bases are a little too large (approximately +11-12% error with allowed 10% tolerance) and the board is not rigid of course but I'm being too picky here: it is quite close to standards and for casual play and learning all that doesn't matter, you wouldn't notice.The board has some (4-5) visible creases. After several days creases are still there. They don't bother me. It's not like there are bumps that cause pieces to fall, no, playability is not affected. Board material is matte, it doesn't slide - I mean sits well on the table, it is soft, stretchy and bouncy. It is very thick and looks like it can survive folding/unfolding many times.The set comes with two bags for the pieces, a booklet with rules, some fun stickers and a really nice carrying case.

Review: El juego es de buena calidad, el estuche para transportarlo es muy práctico, tiene dos bolsas de terciopelo para guardar las piezas, las cuales tienen buena apariencia y peso. El tablero es grande. La relación calidad-precio me parece correcta.

Review: Version 51 cm. Les pièces sont superbes et très agréables au toucher. Elles sont très bien lestées. J'hésitais avec un jeu en bois, mais je ne regrette vraiment pas. L'échiquier avait un léger défaut, le vendeur a répondu très rapidement à ma demande de remplacement. Je recommande. Bon jeu à tout le monde.

Review: 0ttimo rapporto qualità /prezzo - i pezzi di ottima fattura, ben piombati sono belli da vedere e stabili nel muoverli. La scacchiera in silicone non fa pieghe quando la si distende e si adatta subito senza doverla stirare. la valigetta per il trasporto contiene i pezzi facilmente da un lato e la scacchiera piegata in 4 dall'altro. il set comprende due buste in plastica per riporre e trasportare i pezzi e due sacche in morbido tessuto.
