Standard Tournament Chess Set, 34 Chess Pieces (2 Extra Queens), Blue Board and Blue Canvas Tote Bag

It is a standard-size chessboard with a decent price

1. Comes with an extra Queen (In case you are lucky enought to promote!)

2. Pieces are heavy and nice to play with.

3. You can roll or fold the board.

4. Comes with a bag, but the zipper borke the first time I used it

Not outstanding, but Good to have!

The case comes with a timer holder partition that is the perfect size for a chess timer, like the Saitek digital.I love that.I wish that the pocket which holds the pieces was split into two for white/black pieces.At first glance, it doesn't seem to be all that sturdy, but upon further review, everything contained will probably last forever except for the zippers on the case.I've got one that is broken now, and one was broken on arrival.I just use a paper clip to get by.Oh, and the mousepad sucked bigtime, it was in the garbage within a day.

If you plan on using this as a traveling chess set, think again. The teeth seperate and the zipper was broken from the 2nd time being used.The vinyl roll up board was stained by the ink transfer process used. The pieces are big with an ok weight. Finding a case is going to be tough because of it's size. It is not a compact case but portable if it were properly made.

I wanted a good quality chess set to teach my kids, so I wanted it to have full size pieces, a numbered/lettered board, and be durable enough to handle the stress put on it by little kids.The carrying case is straightforward--the zipper seems strong enough, and it can hold all of the pieces, the board, and it appears there is space for a clock (although the clock is not included).The pieces are full-size durable Staunton style pieces.They are not heavy, but they are durable enough for my purposes.The one thing that was a real disappointment was the vinyl board.When it arrived, the board had gotten creased while rolled, so it just would not lie flat.I tried everything--rolling it backwards, ironing it, weighting it... nothing got it entirely flat.Little ripples in the vinyl made it impossible for pieces to stand up straight without toppling.I wrote to ChessCentral and they were kind enough to send me a new board immediately (so A+ for customer service).As a result, I find that I can recommend doing business with ChessCentral, but not recommend buying this set.You should get what they call "the mousepad board" which is very durable, rolls easily, and lies flat.

The board and the bag itself are great, but my main problem came with the actual pieces themselves. They are not heavy at all. I play chess in my college's club and we hold all our club meetings outside in the main quad. I'm considering purchasing a heavy set of pieces soon, but in the meantime, I'll have to keep filling the pieces with glue to make them heavier, though the difference isn't that great.
