 Chess SetNov 02, 2010
By Ryan Kulek
I purchased this chess set as a gift. I chose this over others due to price, materials (wood pieces and board), and portability.
When I received my package, it was packaged quite well, although I know how rough some postage handling can be. I mention this as there was a significant nick in one corner. It could have been (and probably was) due to mail delivery.
However, I am unsatisfied mainly with the design and durability of the chess set itself. I liked the idea of having the pieces held down inside of the set, without any of them rolling around. It is too bad that when all the pieces were placed within the elastic band, the band snapped or came undone on one side. Now the whole row doesn't sit well, with one piece rolling around within. Worse yet, when the larger pieces (such as queens or kings) are placed on opposite sides within the storage area of the set, the set does not completely close. This can be circumvented by arranging them without large pieces meeting each other on the other side. A minor disadvantage but still notable.
It is interesting that my set was ordered "new" but came without shrink wrap or any sort of seal. Maybe I was sent a return or a factory second, but either way I wouldn't really know without purchasing and comparing another set. Due to the unavoidable flawed storage design, that seems highly unlikely.
With that said, the set itself is nice. You get what you pay for, however it is disappointing to have this one with a broken band, when we haven't even used it yet. However, it is certainly possible I was shipped a model that someone had returned, so take this review with a grain of salt.

Cheap ProductSep 25, 2011
By JoshS
Overall this set seems to be made really cheaply. Pieces are nice but the board is flimsy and easily chipped.

 good chess set for beginnersAug 24, 2011
By momof3
My children (8 & 9) just started playing chess and I like that this comes with it's own carrying case. The pieces are kind of light weight, but it's what I expected.
Everyone should have a portable chess set!Jan 23, 2012

I got this for a friend with whom I'd been playing virtual chess over our smartphones. He was thrilled, and we played a game on the spot. It's great to have a chess board handy because you never know when you'll find someone willing to join in a game. And talk about a great learning tool! This board is small and simple, but of solid construction that doesn't feel cheap. Good deal for the money.

It's Better In The Real World.Jun 12, 2010
By Armchair Pundit
"Armchair Pundit."
As someone who has been playing chess (and not too well) for years via the virtual world of my PS2.
It was nice to feel, touch and manoeuvre the pieces in my hand.
There is NO substitute for the tactile.
Plus, this set has the advantage of being able to be folded and the pieces being able to be stored, then put safely away.
The only advantage the virtual world version has over the real one is you can never lose a piece.
Which, alas, I have done many times from my previous sets.
This set is very good value.
