US Chess Quiver Tournament Chess Set Combination Triple Weighted

We love this set! The roll out board size is the size of a regular board instead of one of those tiny boards that you get in some of the sets that are out there to buy . The pieces are weighted and the size of a regular sized piece. We bought a couple of canvas bags to put the pieces in instead of using the plastic ziplock bags that were included with the set. The shoulder bag that holds everything is well made and looks substantial.

This is exactly the sort of chess set that you will find most professional players using. This is just a good, sturdy, high quality chess set. It comes with a standard roll up board with ranks and files marked for helping you keep track of moves. The pieces are a nice weight and regulation size. If you are serious about tournament play or just want something that doesn't come in a cardboard box this is a great set. It comes with extra queens and a carrying case which is nice but not as sturdy as I remember. The material just seems to be thinner. It also seems like they could have used a little higher quality zipper for a few cents more. I haven't had any malfunctions or anything but with items like this some people care about quality. I'm kind of picky. I guess. Oh, and for anybody that is griping about the board not lying flat I have a solution for you. Roll it up with the bottom facing in next time and then when you unroll it the crown of the material will be up. Gravity will take care of the rest. If it remains a problem try lying it in the sun for half an hour. It will smooth out. THEN roll it up with the bottom to the inside. If you still can't figure it out buy a football.

This is the best chess board you can find for playing on the go or with friends outside your home. These are the sets most professionals will play with outside of tournaments. Tip: roll them up with the checkered side facing outward. That way when you roll it out it will lay flat right away.

Very convenient and good quality chess board for mobility. I like the heft of the pieces and it seems to be good quality.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Great chess set. Just as advertised; the pieces have a nice weight, and the vinyl chess board is durable and well crafted. ❌ PROBLEMS: • It does not come with storage bags for the chess pieces. • The quiver is not sturdy so the mat can easily bend making it look "limp." ✅ SOLUTION • I inserted a 3" diameter PVC pipe in the quiver. 👉 The PVC pipe should right below the seam of the top zipper flap of the quiver. Now this chess set is a perfect 5 stars.

It was exactly what I was looking for. Standard sizes (board and pieces) and weight. The pieces snuggly fit within the large bag (would have been better to include two exterior pouches or side compartments for black nd white pieces respectively), but it worked well. Very cute and compact carrier size. Still don't know if jamming the pieces in there will super wrinkle the board too much--we shall see.

These pieces are amazing in the hands. Nice and heavy bottoms, so they don’t tip over while playing them. The vinyl board itself. It doesn’t curl when layed out. It doesn’t indent from the pieces. I was shocked from the price.

Overall, I'd say you get your moneys worth, especially if you treat the mat with tender care, so it doesn't get nasty creases in it. There is plenty of coordinates on the sides to help you quickly figure out the name of the square a piece is going on. The pieces feel great, but its a very tight fit if you want to cram them back into the same bag as the mat. Pros: - The pieces feel very nice. - The mat is full size, and has a nice grip. - The mat fits nicely into the carrying bag. Cons: - The bag is not very sturdy, so the mat can easily bend in undesired ways, that can make pieces be a bit lopsided when you're playing, if you don't wait long enough for gravity or a weighted-surface to flatten it out. Thus what I learned is its important not to put much weight on the bag when the mat is inside. - The pieces may fit in with the mat, but it's a rather tight squeeze, so I recommend keeping the pieces in a separate regular bag. I keep mine in a zip lock bag (labeled and separated for each color), and then put that zip lock bag in my backpack. Then I buckle the provided bag onto the outside of my backpack. - The mat is not the most flattest right away, so perhaps not the most ideal for travel. But it's inexpensive, so it should do the job if for instance you want to play on a picnic table. - the d-file and e-file markers are missing on one side, with the logo taking their place. It's not hard to tell what they are based on the others, but I think it was a poor design choice.

Basic set, and NOT as advertised. Certainly NOT triple-weighted. Very cheap production. Plasticky-feel overall. But great for beginners, and fair price. Just tone down the hyped description to better reflect the actual product, and lower your expectations.

This was a gift for an outdoorsy person who requested a chess set perfect for camping. He is very happy with its quality:)
