The felt-ish storage space inside the board for all the pieces is very nice (I wish it was actually glued to the inside of the board, but it’s still nice enough I won’t take away a star for that) and the board itself is way bigger than I expected, which is amazing and makes it feel so much more premium. ...

" ... It's a beautiful game. ... "

" ... Listen, if one is learning how to play this masterful game of chess, get this one. ... "
" ... This chess set is more than a board game it is a fantastic work of art. ... "
" ... The board and pieces are just the right size for tabletop games and remains portable enough to move from place to place although It is a bit large to be considered as a travel set. ... "

" ... That said, they have plenty of weight for playing games around the house or even outdoors. ... The pieces might be just a little light for playing very fast paced games where players are moving very quickly and bumping pieces. ... "
