A&A Tournament Chess Set/ 20''x20'' Foldable Silicone Chess Board / 3.75'' King Height Plastic Quadruple Weighted Classic Staunton Pieces/Storage Bag for 6 Years Old - 2 Players

Outstanding package, imo. Fine, plastic chessman with no sprue. Clean, heavily-weighted pieces with two bags for storage. Full-size silicone board, including brief instructions, and a case with handle. Should last a lifetime with heavy, constant use. List price varies online; yet, AMAZON offers this set at an unbelievable price.

This is a beautiful chess set. Pay attention to the dimensions as this set may be big for someone used to other portable sets. I didn’t own a tournament set before so the size was a bit shocking. That said, the quality is superior, the pieces details, texture and weight makes it a pleasure to play with. The silicone mat is outstanding with no creases even when being stored folded. The mat texture feels great allowing to easily slide the pieces while providing a nice grip. Sure you may get dust, pet hair on the mat but this is no different than any other silicone surface so it can be easily wiped off. I also own a smaller electronic chess board that allows to play with apps but I often make the moves for both players using this set just for the amazing feeling. The case and bags are also of great quality and gives the set a luxury touch. I’d definitely recommend this chess set to anyone looking for a full size (big) portable option. I’m even considering getting the smaller size too for when space or weight is an issue, like traveling, coffee shops, etc.

The set is exactly how it was described. I am surprised how much I like the Silicone play surface. It is amazingly compact and can be folded up fitting easily in the case. It lays perfectly flat when you take it out. The chess pieces are the most impressive component. They have a nice touch and weight. These guys won’t blow over in the wind.

PROS: * Silicone mat has a great texture, makes for a lightweight set that is easily portable * Pieces have intricate detail, are perfectly weighted, and have a nice felt underside * Large pieces are easy to maneuver for all ages * Comes with very nice velvet-like bags to keep pieces separate * Comes with an elegantly textured hard-shell travel case with handle and zipper and ways to divide everything. * Has extra queens in each color for promotion * THE PRICE POINT (especially compared to everything else out there) CONS: * May make you addicted to chess DEEPER REVIEW: I honestly wish I could give it more than 5 stars. I looked everywhere for a chess set that wasn’t going to break the bank, but still looked and felt high quality. My husband has an expensive marble board that is heavy and cumbersome and we wanted something for quick games that packed away easily. We’ve had this one for a few months now and find that we play with this one waaay more frequently. It looked even better in person than in pics and reviews. I was surprised and concerned upon the unboxing just by the size of it (as it was bigger than the standard chess board), but I now prefer it. I have a kid that is learning to play that loves horses, so we wanted realistic-looking knight pieces. We even looked on Etsy and still ended up going with these and have not been disappointed. Speaking of pieces, she is also a little clumsy and these have been much easier for her to navigate due to their slightly larger size, weight and the easy of sliding that the felt underside yields. It also came with some fun chess stickers for her. The mat does have one very small wrinkle in it, but is smooths out enough to where I don’t notice it when playing. The quality of the carrying case actually surprised me. It’s awesome! And it makes it perfect to grab and go. (Side note: Also fits well in an RV). I’ve had purchasing regrets before with Amazon, but this is NOT one of them. It’s actually been one of my favorite things… especially considering the price point! Our family has all played a lot more chess together since getting it and that has been the best part of all. I highly recommend it.

After reading other reviews, I was leaning heavily towards the A&A Chess Set, and it is total quality in every respect. As a member of a chess club, I brought this set to our weekly meeting and set it up for play. The silicon chess board is truly amazing - it unfolds and lays totally flat on our wood table. A couple of sweeps with my palm and any 'folds' or 'wrinkles' disappear as if by magic. The other members immediately were impressed and complimented me on the set. The pieces themselves are a joy - each one is well crafted and has real 'heft' (gravitas, 'weight') to it. The styling of the pieces is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and makes each chess game joyous regardless of who wins the match. The set is rated as 'championship' size and that is accurately stated. A&A includes some 'packaging candy' (stickers) and the carrying case and black & white carry-bags with drawstrings make a real 'classy' touch. Topping it all off is a pair of extra queens (every pawn is a potential queen as A&A likes to say) for those thrilling end-game promotions! I have experienced many different chess sets, this one is not a toy, it is more an 'enthusiast' level set. The notations along the board edges make it easy to log each move if you so choose. If you love chess or want to impress a chess aficionado in your life, this set will be a hit, no question. The tactile 'feel' of each piece is remarkable, and appear to be made of a resin material for durability. The pawns have nice rounded tops with no seams or rough edges. The bishop styling is superb, and the knight artistry is stunning. Every aspect of this item is pleasing to the eyes and to your hands when making moves or capturing opponent's pieces. You can instantly tell what each of you have lost on the battlefield by casting your gaze aside to look at the captured pieces beside the board. Of all the things I have purchased from Amazon over the years, both little and large, this by far is in the top echelon and gets my strong buy recommendation. It will not disappoint, be it a personal acquisition or a gift for a friend or relative.

Got this with the intent to study and play with friends. It’s a good set overall, the fact that it comes with a carrying case and piece bags (both are fairly good quality) makes this a tough one to beat. The board mat is probably the worst aspect of this set, an absolute dust/pet hair magnet; even up on a table away from most of it. It also smells a little funky but I suppose that’s to be expected. Pieces are good weight and look nice, but it does feel like the felt on the bottom can come off over time. With the other options at this price point, however, I’m pretty happy with this purchase and expect it to last for a good few years with fairly regular usage!

A very nice tournament set. Heavy plastic pieces with nice texture. A one-sided silicon mat with black squares. I appreciate the inclusion of extra queens. The case and velvety bags of each color for the pieces is also nice.

I bought this because I was skeptical of the reviews I read. One raved about it and another claimed that the board wrinkled and would not flatten out. Well you can put me on the rave side of the controversy. The pieces are in a plastic I've never seen. It is not like vinyl and not like resin. It has a very nice tactile feel in the hand. The weight is substantial and the size is perfect in my opinion. The king measures 3.75" tall. And it has 2 extra queens included. I was a little skeptical that one review stated that casting seams were non existent. There are some casting seams but I had to examine the pieces with a jewelers loupe to find them. They have been scraped to the point of oblivion. I am very impressed. Part of the body of the pieces is hollow, I shined a strong light through them. The head or finial on most pieces is solid and the bases are solidly weighted. The board is verrry flexible silicone material and any wrinkles or folds shake right out. No folds remaining. I.was very concerned that they would stay in and cause lumps and lines where the folds were. NOPE. The board fits into the case folded in half then in thirds. It's about an exact fit. The case is very nice and sturdy. It has a double zip heavy duty zipper closing at the bottom.there are 2 velvet bags for the pieces that have draw string closures 1 black and 1 white. There is a pocket in the case that is suitable for a notebook or literature. My old plastic chess set is more than 50 years old and very "chinky" plastic. This is light years from that one. After seeing this one and thourughly examining it in detail, I ordered on for my granddaughter and her family. I'm looking forward to some long distance matches with her. If you are on the fence about buying this set rest assured its a beautiful set and board. It's set up to be very portable, take it to the park or to a friend's house or for tournament play. It's a very good deal, buy it.

Hola, escribo esto con la intención de ayudar a los que leen este opinión, el paquete me llegó en perfecto estado, no hubo retrasos con el envío el empaque correcto, a diferencia de varias reseñas que revisé, todo me llegó en perfecto estado el juego completo, se ve tal cual las imágenes que nos muestran no hay cambios con eso, solo tengo una pequeña queja al respecto y es, el peso del ajedrez, tengo un Ferriz triple peso el cual se me despinto de sus piezas blancas por lo cual lo cambié , la descripción marca cuádruple peso que deben portar, pero mis piezas triple peso son más pesadas que estas no por mucho es casi nada pero puede notarse lo cual fue algo que me disgustó por que esperaba fueran un poco más pesadas, tienen un buen peso en muy similar al triple peso es agradable pero si esperas sean más pesadas y eso es lo que buscas tal vez te sea un factor para decidirte entre uno y otro que tengas planeado comprar, otra cosa que puedes notar es que los caballos son un poco más grandes que unos tamaño oficial o en esta mente desconozco si haya algún problema en presentase a un torneo con uno de estos por la diferencia de tamaños o si a alguien le disguste. Conclusión: La calidad es buena, el peso es agradable aun que sean ligeramente menos pesadas de lo que deben de ser, es bonito a la vista no molesta los colores, me parece un buen kit de ajedrez por el precio siempre y cuando te llegue en perfectas condiciones, si lo que quieres es un bonito ajedrez con un estuche donde guardar tus piezas con un peso decente a un precio Justo, este es tu set, cabe aclarar que este es mi tercer ajedrez soy relativamente nuevo en esto así que si solo quieres saber si lo recomiendo o no la respuesta es, que si , suerte en su búsqueda de un ajedrez y si te has decidido por este o otro te deseo suerte y que te llegue todo en perfecto estado.

Produto maravilhoso e excelente.

I loved it at first sight, even though it is made of plastic and silicone, it feels luxurious and beautiful when you see and touch it. I was thinking of buying a product at a reasonable price and in the future I can buy expensive chess set, but I think I will keep this chess set for a long time and I do not feel that I need to buy another product. The silicone is of high quality and the pieces are very weighty and beautiful. I recommend it strongly.

Actually this is the "best chess set ever" in this price range, excellent value for money. Material quality for both the pieces and the board is great, with nice bonus items (a booklet explaining the rules of chess, a postcard, many stickers for kids, coa card, two bags and a lovely case. Pieces are very well weighted and detailed, each side has one extra queen for promotion. The whole set just has a premium feel to it. I think its the best plastic tournament set currently obtainable. Bought it after watching unboxing videos on youtube.

pieces are truly magnificent—the size, weight and feel are essentially perfect. Additionally, the silicone board is impressively wrinkle-resistant.
