Noah C., 3X set
Surpassed my expectations! Highly recommended. The silicone board is impressive with a fantastic feel. Considering getting the 4X XL next!
Carter W., 3X set
I got the GothamChess courses and needed a good training chess set. The Best Chess Ever fulfilled that need and then some. It's of superior quality and I'd suggest it to anyone.

A tournament Staunton chess set with a 4 inch king, an ivory and black finish and felt under every base. The size and weight most clubs play with, on a silicone board that rolls up and packs back into one box when the game is done.
- Triple Weighted
- Quadruple Weighted
Why triple-weighted tournament pieces
Each 3X piece is triple weighted with an iron insert in the base, so the 34 pieces come to about 2.4 lb. That weight is what separates a set you play on from a set you look at.
- They stay put. A weighted piece on a felt base does not skate when the table is knocked or when a sleeve brushes the board.
- They feel like club equipment. The heft is what tells your hand the move is made.
- They last. Solid pieces on wide bases do not chip or snap the way hollow ones do.
- They still travel. At 2.4 lb of pieces this is the lighter of our two sets, so it is the easier one to carry every day.
What makes this set different
Side by side with a basic plastic chess set, this is what the 3X adds:
- Weighted, felted pieces instead of light hollow ones
- A silicone board that rolls up without creasing, instead of a folding board with a permanent seam
- Two extra queens, so a promotion never means an upturned rook
- A 32-page strategy guide in the box
- A 12-month guarantee, with the shipping paid on any exchange
What's in the box
- 34 triple-weighted pieces, 17 per side, including an extra queen for each colour
- A 20 x 20 in double-sided silicone board, green and white on one face, black and white on the other
- Two drawstring bags, one per colour, so the pieces do not rattle around loose
- The Best Chess Strategy Guide Ever, 32 illustrated pages
- A modern box that everything packs back into
The pieces
Staunton-style pieces in ivory white and black. Each one is triple weighted with an iron insert, and finished with felt under the base so it slides cleanly and stays where you put it.
These are Staunton no. 6, the size and proportion you will meet at a club. The king stands 4 inches on a 1.8 inch base, and the queen wears a rounded coronet rather than the pointed crown of the 4X set.
All 34 pieces together weigh about 2.4 lb, and the complete set in its box comes to about 3 lb.
The board
A 20 x 20 inch silicone board with 2.25 inch squares, which is tournament regulation size under the World Chess Federation. The same board ships with both of our sets.
It is double-sided: green and white on one face, black and white on the other. Silicone rather than vinyl, so it is spill-proof and stain-resistant, and it relaxes flat again instead of keeping a fold line.
The strategy guide
The Best Chess Strategy Guide Ever comes in the box. Its 32 illustrated pages take a new player from how the pieces move through openings, tactics and endgames, and give a club player something to work on.
A digital copy is on the strategy guide page, in English, Spanish, Italian, French and German.

TRIPLE WEIGHTED
Weighted where it counts
Each 3X piece carries an iron insert and sits on a felt base. The 34 pieces come to about 2.4 lb together, and the complete set in its box is about 3 lb.
Heavy enough to stay where you put it, light enough to carry to the club and back every week.
REVERSIBLE SILICONE BOARD
Two boards in one
The 20 x 20 inch silicone board has green and white on one face and black and white on the other. Flip it for whichever you prefer.
It rolls up rather than folds, so there is no permanent crease, and it wipes clean after a spill.
BAGS AND BOX
A place for every piece
Two drawstring bags, one per colour, keep the pieces from knocking together in transit.
Board, pieces, bags and guide all pack back into one box that fits in a backpack.
32-PAGE STRATEGY GUIDE
The Best Chess Strategy Guide Ever
Thirty-two illustrated pages covering openings, tactics and endgames.
- Start from how each piece moves, if that is where you are
- Work through named openings and the ideas behind them
- Finish on the endgames that decide most club games
Also available to download on the strategy guide page.
Happy playing. There is a story in every game.
OUR STORY
A tournament player built the set he couldn't find
Galen Pyle found chess at twelve and has played it in thirty countries since. Across hundreds of sets he never found one that was durable, portable and good looking at the same time, so he designed his own: classic Staunton pieces, modern materials and a strategy guide, for tournament players, travelers and beginners alike.
-
Captain at Reed College
He founded and captained the Reed College chess team and became a ranked tournament player.
-
A teacher in a dozen schools
He taught chess to students at more than a dozen elementary schools.
-
Chess in thirty countries
Grandmaster lessons in Armenia, the Bangkok Go Team in Thailand, and a game of chess in every country he visited.
-
The set he could not find
Hundreds of sets later, none was durable, portable and good looking at once. So he came home and built the one that was.

FAQ
How is this different from the 4X set?
Do the pieces tip over easily?
No. Every piece is triple weighted and sits on a felt base, so it takes a real knock to move one out of place, at home or outdoors.
Are the white pieces white or cream?
On this set they are an ivory white. The cream colour belongs to the 4X set, which is a warm natural tan.
How big is the board?
20 inches by 20 inches with 2.25 inch squares, which is the official regulation size for tournament chess. It is double-sided silicone, green and white on one face and black and white on the other.
Does it come with extra queens?
Yes, four queens in total, one spare in each colour. A pawn reaching the eighth rank gets a real queen instead of an upturned rook.
What if something arrives damaged?
Email us with your order number and a photo. Every set is covered for 12 months, and we will refund it, replace it or send the single piece you need. You do not have to send the set back first, and we pay the shipping.

Nice sets
I purchased the 4x and the 3x. Both are unique in the tournament category of sets. They will stand out in a tournament. The 4x is great all around. Nice, heavy, big pieces. Knight is a great design. No complaints. The 3x is nice, but feels a little light for three times the weight. Also, on the 3x set the king base is 2mm smaller diameter than the queen’s. Once you see it you can’t unsee it and it’s bothersome. Both boards had issues as well. One was warped and would not lay flat. The other seems to have a blueish tint on the white squares like maybe the black dye ran.

A Sweet Chess Set That Won't Disappoint
Surpassed my expectations! Highly recommended. The silicone board is impressive with a fantastic feel. Considering getting the 4X XL next!

It Lives Up to the "Best Chess Set Ever" Name
The name truly lives up to its reputation. The pieces and the board are exceptional. I’m confident enough in this chess set to wholeheartedly recommend it to my friends. The only hitch in an otherwise perfect experience was with the shipping and delivery. Instead of arriving in a protective shipping box, it was delivered in the original box with the label slapped on it. As a result, the box took a beating during transit, and the shipping label didn’t come off cleanly. While the chess set itself is fantastic, the box’s appearance took a hit due to the delivery process.

A Mark of Quality
I got the GothamChess courses and needed a good training chess set. The Best Chess Ever fulfilled that need and then some. It's of superior quality and I'd suggest it to anyone.

5 Star Value, 5 Star Service
Initially, I received the XL version, and despite being surprised by the larger pieces, I decided not to go through the hassle of returning it. The warranty support was excellent and offered to send me the standard edition without requiring me to return the product. The pieces, although different from what I expected, turned out to be quite resilient. Even after an accidental drop by a toddler, the extra queen held up well. The silicone board is unique and collects debris and hair easily, but cleaning it was relatively simple. The slight creases in the board, despite not being completely fixed, don't bother me much. The pieces, especially in the XL edition, are robust and have a velvet bottom, making them easy to store without worry. Packing and unpacking this set is a breeze, and its durability stands out. Overall, this set offers fantastic value, and the excellent customer service assured me of a 5-star review. The one-year warranty further instills confidence in the product's durability. If you're eyeing the Best Chess Set Ever, this aspect might be worth considering.
