Best Chess Set Ever - Triple Weight Pieces

 

What size is the board? Some say the board is too large.

Good question!  The chess board is the official regulation size for tournament chess, which is 20 inches by 20 inches. Each square is 2.25 inches.  We believe the chess board is the perfect size for game play, fits the pieces well, and the board is portable for travel as well. 

 

From the pictures it looks like the quadruple weighted queen crown is more pointy and the triple not so, is that right?

Nailed it! Yes, you are correct. In the Best Chess Set Ever, which is this product page, we sell the triple weighted chess pieces (Staunton no. 6) which have a rounded Queen’s coronet. In the Best Chess Set Ever XL, we sell the quadruple weighted chess pieces (Staunton no. 8) which have a pointy Queen’s crown. Based on customer feedback, we’ll look to reduce the ponty-ness of the quadruple weighted queen crown in the future. 

 

What is the height of king?

The king is 3.75 inches tall in the Best Chess Set Ever, which is this product page.  These pieces are exactly World Chess Federation regulation height, and are triple weighted chess pieces (2.2 lb set). 

Alternatively, our Best Chess Set Ever XL (Heavyweight Edition) includes quadruple weighted chess pieces (4 lb set) and features a king 4 inches tall. Both sets have a staunton tournament style design and are premium quality chess game pieces. 

 

Why does It come with googly eyes?

Haha, you noticed! We experimented with googly eyes as a bonus, because we enjoyed placing the googly eyes on the chess pieces to make a funny game and add a sense of humor. Currently, in May 2020, the googly eyes are not included, but we do plan to include the googly eyes again around October 2020, and then it’ll be a fun permanent bonus to our chess set. 

 

How many points on the Queens crown and on top of the rook?

There are 12 points on the queen coronet and 4 sections on the rook. Please note that the queen’s coronet is rounded and not pointy on this triple weighted chess set. 

 

Does this set come with a carry case?

The set does not include a quiver bag.  We designed the modern game box to fit easily into a backpack or satchel because, don’t you have enough stylish bags already? The Best Chess Set Ever is easy to pack and carry.

 

Is the board made out of silicone?

You got it.  Yes, the chess board is made out of silicone. We feel that this is the best style chess board for the durability, portability, and player experience for your chess games. The dimensions are 20 inches by 20 inches and each square is 2.25 inches (World Chess Federation official regulation size). In the past, we sold vinyl chess boards, we have now upgraded to the superior silicone chess board and plan to continue with silicone! 

 

What size are the squares on the board? The bases of the pieces?

The silicone chess board featured in the Best Chess Set Ever is 20 inches by 20 inches and each square is 2.25 inches. The triple weighted chess pieces feature a 3.75 inch tall king height. The base of the king is 1.5 inches. The base of the queen is 1.4 inches. The base of the rook, bishop, and knight are each equal to 1.3 inches. The base of the pawn is 1.1 inches. 

 

Does it come with an extra queen?

Two bonus Queens, how cool is that?!  Yes, the chess set includes four total queens, which includes 1 bonus queen of white color and 1 bonus queen of black color. The purpose of the extra queens is that the pawns have the opportunity to be promoted to a queen by reaching the 8th rank. 

 

Is the board vinyl or silicone? The description says both are available, but there's no way to pick.

Thanks for your message! The chess board is made out of silicone. We feel that this is the best style chess board for the durability, portability, and player experience for your chess games. The dimensions are 20 inches by 20 inches and each square is 2.25 inches. In the past, we sold vinyl chess boards, we have now upgraded to silicone and plan to continue with silicone!
