Spin Master Games Legacy Deluxe Chess & Checkers Set, Classic Two Player Includes Folding Board with Solid Wood Playing Pieces, for Kids and Adults Ages 8 and up

Our grandson really liked this chess set !!

Great value for the price. Pieces fit nicely into the wooden box. It seems quite durable.Kids and adults have enjoyed it.

Chess has been my favorite board game since I was a child and I have collected chess sets as a hobby over the years. When I selected this one I expected it to be on par with typical portable wooden sets which are usually cheaply made. This one was a pleasant surprise in that it is a step up from most portable wooden sets I have seen and used.This is a fairly straightforward set. The case is a clamshell design that folds open into the board. There are magnets in the rim of the underside of the board to hold it closed when the set is not in use, ands the manufacturer did a decent job of concealing the contacts (though they are visible if you look for them). The squares on the board are smooth and while the seams between the squares can be felt when you run your hand along the board, the seams are smooth and are less pronounced that what I have seen on some other boards.The pieces are decently made though are nothing special. They are machine cut pieces and have been smoothed, sanded and varnished. They are weighted nicely and have felt on the bottom to avoid scratching the board. They’re a fairly average design but they look good and are very recognizable.The main feature of this set is that it is larger than most fold-out boards I have seen and used. While this might not be the best for packing and portability, I really like the size. I am less likely to knock over pieces accidentally and I can see what’s going on a little better.This is not just a chess set but includes wood chips for playing checkers as well. The chips are small and are nothing of note but they are sufficient.I really like this chess set and will use it as my main travel set moving forward. I like the size of the board, the feel of the pieces and the overall quality. There are better sets out there but they cost more. There are less expensive sets too, and the chances of finding one that is of the same quality as this one for less is small.

Je ne dirais vraiment pas que c'est un échiquier de luxe. L'échiquier a des tâches, des pions aussi..les coussinets en dessous des pièces sont pas centrés. Il est très dure d'enlever les pièces du rangement et il s'est décollé lors de la première ouverture du boîtier. J'étais decue. La grandeur est bonne et les pièces sont lestés.

Very disappointed in this product. The board has a defect one one of the sides. Be sure the inspect the board properly when you buy it
