This is a fantastic chess set and a number of qualities place this chess set above the competition. First, the set's striking beauty and aesthetic appeal stand out. The pieces are intricately designed and quadruple-weighted in order to suit the tastes of any chess set enthusiast. This set is designed to meet all serious tournament specifications. Put simply, once you go quadruple weight you'll never go back to double weight, so if you're in the market looking for a nice set of plastic chess pieces, look no further - these pieces rock!
The Quadruple weight Staunton design chess pieces are beautifully crafted, featuring a 4.0" King with a 1.875" diameter base. Heavy! Each of the pieces is very heavily weighted and the set weighs an impressive four pounds.
New stretchy silicone chess boards are absolutely the best. The board is very crease resistant, perfectly spill-proof and provides best possible chess playing experience. Silicone boards feel indestructible, designed for players who plan to keep their boards in good shape for a long time. You can squish it, roll it up, wad it up in your hand and when you lay it back out, the silicone board immediately goes back to absolutely flat! The board features 20" x 20" dimensions with 2.25" squares and algebraic chess notation. Resistant to stains, resilient to physically damage, and retains its original shapes easily.
