    Beautifully Carved Pieces

    Posted by Marc on Apr 23rd 2022

    Large bases provide exceptional stability and these are the heaviest pieces of "non-weighted" DGT sets (25.2 oz). A nicely carved chess set, with a similar attention to detail seen in the Royal set; the only flaw being a less than perfect job of applying the black felt . White pieces are actually quite yellow and have a glossy appearence. There are slight variations in color of the yellow pieces. The black piece have a hazed-black appearance (compared to gloss black). The pawns have a large diameter head as do the bishops and rooks. The queen's crown is highly detailed with nine points. This particular design has a knight that stands at the same height as the bishop making it appear more prominent than in many other chess designs. Anyone familiar with the DGT Plastic set will see the similarity it has with this wooden Classic set. The pieces arrived with most of the larger pieces protectively wrapped, the pawns and knights were not. One star off for the felt application, which I redid in red.

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
