WE Games Bobby Fischer Ultimate Chess Pieces, Staunton Plastic Tournament Set - Extra Queens, Triple Weighted, 3.75 in. King

My mother and I held a tournament and used these pieces for the top board and were very nice to move while also looking nice and being able to focus on the game still with them. They remain faithful to the Staunton design while also being altered to hold the weights in securely and are extremely easy and nice to grip without having to fear the pieces slipping out of your hand. Other players who got to play with the pieces also really enjoyed using the set. I definitely would recommend this set to any player from beginner to experienced.

This is a excellent set of pieces in every respect. Heavy base weighting keeps the pieces in place and upright even during energetic play or lumpy surfaces. Very tough and durable material shaped into pieces that are easy to grip and pleasant to the touch. The slightly off-white ivory/cream color of the White pieces is also an attractive feature. Even the heavy green box is well made and seems sturdy enough for storage or travel! I also have a hand carved rosewood and boxwood set that has been shelved since these pieces arrived. This set has quickly become the favorite among all the players in our house. Hopefully you will never have an issue with this set, but if you do, the customer service at Wood Expressions is great, going above and beyond what it takes to make things right even if it was my dog who loved the set so much that she nibbled on a couple of pieces. So in my opinion "ULTIMATE CHESS PIECES" is not just a name but an accurate description of this set.

I have about 20 plastic chess sets and this is probably the best set I have. Durable, not lose weights, and an over-all great looking set! Would recommend to a friend for sure!

Me likes it! Pays your money and gets it! The Ultimate is back new and improved! (we'll see if the weights start shifting in some hopefully distant, piece slammin' future) When's it coming in ebony & boxwood? I rate it- ******

Great quality for the price, for a substantial plastic set. The pieces feel will weighted. I would recommend to a everyday player or just starting out.
