    Fine enough set, but some real caveats on both the 4X and the 3X sets
    4 Stars
    Fine enough set, but some real caveats on both the 4X and the 3X sets
    I'll start with the good about the 4X weighted set (I bought and returned both the 3X and the 4X for reasons below).The 4X weighted set: heavy pieces, nice color, looked like a nice board (for silicone), and under the right circumstances, I'd have kept it. But I didn't because of the bad about it part.The bad part is that when I took the pieces out of the box to check out my new horses, BIG LETDOWN. The knights shown in the photo (see screenshot attached) for the 4X pieces are NOT the knights you will receive. They are not the Arabian style with the wild mane. They are the same horses you'd receive with the 3X weighted. So I didn't even undo the rest. I paid more $$ for the right knight, so back the 4X went, and I downgraded to the 3X. I never even took the board out, or I'd have found the problem that would have resulted in my return of the 3X set.Now about the 3X set... What's good about it: it costs less than the 4X set and there's no disappointment about the knight. Hard stop there, however. The color is a bright, plasticey white (not as nice as the 4X set), and much to my chagrin, I found out on the second go-round that neither are magnetic.So why did I think it was magnetic? Well, for the same reason I thought that I was getting the cool knights with the 4X set - the product information given. Hello, seller, fix that, please.In this case, the question "How do these pieces compare to typical magnetic chess pieces?" and answer is very misleading. Perhaps because I review contracts and parse words, the lack of clarity was more obvious to me. IDK, but when I read that Q&A, I thought that these were then "atypical magnetic chess pieces", heavier, etc., but also magnetic because never did the respondent say "oh, well, first of all, these are not magnetic, is a big reason they're different - they're different because they're not magnetic". A sentence along those lines would have been really, really helpful to me since I wanted a magnetic set (just starting to play and cats - magnetic is a must). So my misunderstanding, but hopefully, if you're reading this review, and you thought the set was magnetic, then you can save yourself the trouble. The 3X set was, IMO, more meh than the 4X set.Overall, if I had lots of room, no cats, didn't care about magnetic pieces, and could get over the disappointment about the knight, I'd probably have kept the 4x set, but I don't have $60 to toss at upper meh, and that's kinda where I landed on the 4x. I wouldn't get the 3x at all. I ended up getting a nice little travel set that is magnetic and has a green and white board (I've read green is supposed to help with learning). A heck of a lot less money, and it works for me because I can carry it around easily and obsess (I'm just starting to play, and I'm really, really awful, not even through all of the lessons yet, but I do plan to get to 'plain old awful' level someday, and that will make me really happy - just an amazing game.)

    I don't write many reviews but this purchase deserves one.
    Dislikes: damaged board, it should have been shipped separately from the pieces in a tube the first time like the replacement board, board just a little on the thin side, the stick on cartoon eyes to me are a waste of expense that could have gone into better packaging and a thicker board. With that said.....
    Likes: I love this chess set! I feel it is a good value! The numbered and lettered silicone board is a 20" (18" field) tournament size and I think is much easier to play than the compact 15" and smaller boards. I love the piece sizes with a 4.25" King. The 4X weighted felt bottom pieces won't tip. The cast composite pieces look nice with a soft satin finish.
    The name is the Best Chess Set Ever. For the price I would agree yet; I would have paid a little more for better packaging with a padded box that held the pieces separately and the board shipped in a tube to avoid the return ordeal. Customer Service was great. They shipped a replacement board, in a tube, (LOL), within a week. Room for improvement YES. 5 stars also a YES.

    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2024

    The chess set is as portable as imagined with its board that is foldable and lays like a mat. For the rather high price and its grand title, a little bit more was expected, but it does the job very well regardless. The game is as standard as it gets, so there will be no confusion amongst beginners.

    The set is as promised, nice and portable. The board is not a hardboard as you would expect with traditional chess, but rather a soft silicon mat that nicely flattens out when necessary. The pieces do not have any special holding like some other chess sets may have and kind of just go in the packaging. Both of these allow you to save a lot of space when carrying this on the go, but some people may prefer the popular hardboard and some sort of storage method where the pieces are fit exactly in with no wiggle room to clash against each other.

    The chess pieces are as standard as it gets, which is great for beginners. The shape of the pieces is exactly what you expect and not twisted in some weird and unusual way like some of the sets that for some reason feel the need to do minor alterations to the design of the pieces. The colors are also standard as well and is that nice white and black that people will love, making it very clear as to what color goes first as opposed to other chess sets where the colors are not standard and it is then unclear. There is a nice guide book within it too alongside green felts on the bottom of the chess pieces to prevent scratching which is a greatly appreciated bonus as well. Being standard is where a majority of the pros are, alongside a nice tiny book.

    Absolute Steal for the price! High quality silicone board and Beautifully crafted pieces with a decent weight to them. The only downside is that it does not come with a carrying bag or anything, you have to use the box and the ziploc the pieces come in. Aside from that little flaw, it’s a terrific set and incredible deal for the price. As someone who spent an embarrassing amount of hours comparing chess sets, I won the hunt with this one!

    I have zero regrets about this purchase. I wanted something that I did not need to worry about if my young child got ahold of a piece or spilled something. Beginning with the pieces: they have a weight that is pleasing to put down on the board, lines from the mold are minimal, the details have no blemishes, and the plastic feels durable.

    The board did have a slight odor to it, but per the vendors instructions, just leave it to air out for a day. The smell goes away after that. Cleaning is as simple as wetting a paper towel or dampening a clean sponge, followed by gently wiping the surface. Dog hair & leftover Christmas ornament glitter have already been easily removed from my board. To top it off, the board rolls up easily and all the components fit back into the box without a fuss.

    Yes, the silicone of the board will not allow you to slide the pieces, but that's a trade off I am willing to take. For the durability, ease of transport, and ease of cleaning it's a win for me. Looking forward to taking this on vacation to play with the family.

    5.0 out of 5 stars No lo piensen. Excelente (Modelo 4x Tablero)
    Reviewed in Mexico on March 5, 2024
    Style: 4x TournamentVerified Purchase
    Compré un primer set de otra marca que me costó 400 pesos y tenía 5 estrellas en promedio. Estaba muy bien y ligero para viaje, pero...

    Para los aficionados al ajedrez que han jugado antes con buenos tableros:
    Este set de piezas pesa 800 gramos por color!, es decir 1.6 kilos todas las piezas (sin el tablero)!
    Esto significa que
    -Las piezas no se caen por el viento.
    -Las piezas no las puedes tirar sin querer con un mal movimiento.
    -Las piezas no quedan inclinadas si el tablero está arrugado.
    -Da la sensación de jugar con piezas profesionales, aunque sean de plástico. Uno agarra la piezas y da gusto!

    El tablero es de silicona, nunca había tenido yo uno. Sirve muy bien porque se arruga menos que el vinil y es más fácil que esté liso. Como mencionaron otras personas el material atrae un poco el polvo, pareciera ligeramente pegajoso aunque no lo es, no sé cómo describirlo. Al final no me importa, le doy un trapazo ante o después y queda como nuevo, y por la silicona me ahorro las arrugas y los puedes doblar dejarlo muyy pequeño y no pasa nada. El tablero tiene dos lados, uno negro y blanco otro verde y blanco. El tablero es tamaño profesional.

    En resumen:
    Que estuvo investigando tableros y piezas que se sintieron profesionales y este fue el más pesado que encontré y creemos que fue una grandísima compra.
    - Si eres principiante y nunca has tenido un tablero quizá quieras ahorrarte unos pesos y gastarte la mitad.
    - Si eres aficionado como yo, entonces esta es una compra segura para un ajedrez que durará muchísimos años.

    Having recently retired, I recently began playing chess again after a 40+ year hiatus, and wanted a board to take travelling and to use outside on a deck or perhaps a picnic table while camping. After much research I chose this set (the XL quad-weighted set), based partly on the positive reviews here. It arrived in just a couple of days. This is every bit the excellent set other reviewers claim it to be. The plastic chess pieces are BIG, well-weighted, felted and molded in very pleasing detail. They are plastic but do not feel plasticky at all. The seams are very subtle, and the pieces, while plastic, feel like substantial, quality pieces in my hand. The white pieces are not white but rather a creamy ivory that is perfect for the white pieces as opposed to a stark and sterile pure white. Each set has its own drawstring pouch for storage. A serviceable little booklet on the fundamentals chess concepts/strategy is included, as well as a curious bag of crafter's googly eyes, which might be nice for kids but I wouldn't mess with the already nice presentation of the pieces by making them goofy. But that's just me.
    The silicon board (mat) is big, and is reversible (black/white and green/white) - a nice touch - and easy to roll up and store for travel. There are some folds and pinches in the surface that are obvious results of folding the material to fit the smallish box, which I wouldn't recommend, especially for any long period if time. I am currently laying the board flat with some weight on top to try to reduce the blemishes; if this doesn't work I will contact the seller to request a replacement of the mat. The manufacturer seems to already be aware of the potential for this sort of packaging-induced flaw, and does offer explicitly on a card included with the set to make right on any such flaws in the board and also the pieces. As this is my only gripe about the set, I am comfortable reviewing this as 5 stars given the excellent product and good customer service promise. It really IS worth every cent for the overall quality of the set (a much higher quality than my shaky chess game skills right now!).
    A recommendation to make excellent even better: A larger box or ideally, a tube, to contain the set without having to fold the board. Stuffing all this goodness repeatedly into a small box may eventually compromise the pieces and will compromise the mat. I picked up a $4 UPS 24" mailing tube to store the mat, and may later pick up a more robust plastic poster tube with shoulder strap for about $15.
    So many chess sets on Amazon, but for a quality outdoor-friendly and waterproof set with pieces you'd be proud to display on ANY board, you won't find as good or better at this price point.
    Well done, Gaylen Pyle, creator of the set! (and yes, I AM reading that serviceable little manual/strategy guide!).
    UPDATE: As expected, the seller was quick to process a replacement board, since some of the dings in the silicon mat didn't smooth out. I emailed their warranty people and all they needed was my order info and address and a few pics of the board. Then they promptly emailed me back to let me know my replacement is being shipped, directly from the manufacturer. The new mat was free of pinches or creases and shipped in a tube. Customer service the way it is supposed to be done. Great product, great service.

    Gut beschwerte, magnetische Teile mit Filzunterseite und einem guten Mattenbrett, das sich beim Ausrollen nicht wellt! Die Tragetasche sieht klein aus, bietet aber Platz für alles.
    Ich habe kein tolles Schachspiel erwartet, aber ich wollte Figuren, die sich schwer in meiner Hand anfühlen und schwarz und weiß sind. Das Weiß war eher perlmuttfarben und die meisten Stücke fühlten sich zu hell an.
    Da sie nicht aus Holz bestehen, müssen Sie sich keine Sorgen machen, dass Kinder sie zerbrechen könnten, und es gibt kein hölzernes Schachbrett, sodass sie leicht zu tragen sind. Die Schachfiguren sind groß und haben eine gute Textur, wenn sie gehalten werden.

    Enseignant en école Primaire, j’apprends aux élèves, dès 5 ans, à jouer aux échecs.
    Je me suis procuré ce set pour les démonstrations collectives.

    L’échiquier mesure 51x51 cm, fabriqué en silicone souple, et imprimé des 2 côtés, l’un en noir et blanc, l’autre en noir et blanc.
    Le codage des cases est fait de façon traditionnelle par lettres et chiffres.

    Les pions sont de bonne qualité, et les plus grandes pièces sont lestées.
    Dimensions : de 5,5 cm (pion) à 10,5 cm (roi).
    Une reine supplémentaire est fournie à chaque couleur pour les promotions.

    En supplément : 2 sacs de transport en tissu, et un livret en anglais avec quelques astuces de jeu.

    Alors certes la matière de l’échiquier attire les poussières, mais ça se lave facilement à l’eau.
    Dans l’ensemble c’est un beau set soigné, avec de belles pièces, et dont la fabrication semble solide.
