Bygget som et møbel, men spiller som et rigtigt turneringsbord. Bordet føles solidt og behageligt at sidde ved i lange spil, og opbevaringsskufferne er virkelig praktiske til at holde brikkerne pænt gemt væk. Alt i alt et godt køb!
These are pieces nice and make a nice display
They are the same as the other set, but painted red & black
This is my second set from Royal Chess Mall, and both have shown excellent craftsmanship and value compared to other merchants. I will continue to shop from RCM when looking for wooden pieces.
I think this set actually looks amazing on my standard green and white roll up tournament board! It is my preferred set to travel with if I am playing slower time controls. With the knights lacking protruding ears or manes and and the kings having rounded finials, the set is robust enough to travel with if I don't except really rough play (I'd still take a plastic set for blitz play). YT chess reviewer Al Su feels the same way.
I did have a pawn crack sometime in the first few weeks, but RCM stood by their warranty and rapidly replied to my email. It did take a few weeks for the piece to ship so I suppose the piece had to be manufactured, but I am happily playing with a complete now.
I bought the Alexandria burnt set and the Queens Gambit set but this Marengo set is a level higher. What a peace of art especially the carving of the knights. Wauw. In my opinion the best you gonna get. And what a marvelous chessboard. Worth every euro. Greetings from a satisfied customer from The Netherlands. Paul 👍🏻👍🏻🇳🇱🇳🇱👋🏻👋🏻
This board with green squares, black & red pieces is simply beautiful!
A nice decorative piece to the family room
I’m really happy with 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik set. The pieces look great on the board and have a nice feel in hand. Every piece was individually wrapped and the delivery was fast. Overall a very good experience.
After seeing the great serie “The Queens Gambit” I knew a had to have this set in the best possible quality.
In that I succeeded by ordering this set.
What a great and marvelous chess set.
Thank you.
Greetings from The Netherlands.

I'm very pleased with this chess set. It lives on display in our lounge and looks stunning. The craftsmanship is exceptional, the fine carving on the knights a particular highlight, and the extra details on the pieces add style without detracting from play. The ebony is beautiful and the finish is superb. It's a good size and the weighted pieces are a delight to handle. I got it with 25% off, which made it incredible value, but it would certainly be worth the full price. The fast, free shipping and responsive customer service also made everything easy and kept the cost down. Very much recommended.
I recieved the 23 inch chesstable and what a piece of art. I’m very happy with the table. One small detail that there was al small red stripe (7mm) on the light H5. I thought it was a marker line. I was afraid to remove it and contacted customer service.
The customer service told me that is was under the toplayer in the woodgrain. It’s a littlebit annoying.

I bought this storage box mainly for my tournament sets, including a 4.1" Pro Staunton and a 3.9" German Knight set, and I was honestly surprised by how well it fits them. Even though the box is advertised for chess pieces up to 3.7" king height, both of my larger sets fit perfectly without any issues. For reference, my 3.9" German Knight king has a 1.4" base and my 4.1" Pro Staunton king has a much wider 1.9" base, and the box still accommodates both comfortably with no pressure when closing the lid. Even with the extra promotion queens included, there’s still enough space to store everything neatly.
The interior is lined with a soft green felt that does a great job protecting the pieces, especially the ebonised black ones which can be prone to marks. The divider inside is also really practical, keeping the white and black pieces separated and making setup quicker.
One thing that really stands out is how solid the box feels. The outer shell is very rigid and hard, giving it a strong, durable feel that inspires confidence when storing or moving your pieces. It doesn’t feel flimsy at all, and it holds its shape well even when filled with heavier, weighted chessmen.
Overall, this is a very practical and reliable storage solution. It exceeded my expectations in terms of capacity and build quality, especially given that it handled larger tournament sets with ease. If you’re worried about fitting bigger pieces, this box should still work just fine.
This chess board is of high quality and perfect for my games. Makes a perfect set when paired with my existing pieces.
Les pièces sont arrivées en France en seulement 6 jours: bravo! Elles sont exactement comme sur les photos, donc superbes. Je les ai installées sur le plateau commandé en même temps (Échiquier de luxe en bois d'ébène et d'érable de 21 pouces, magnifique également), c'est juste parfait. Après avoir hésité très longtemps à cause de la distance et parce que je ne savais pas si ce vendeur était sérieux, je me suis fié aux avis (sur Trustpilot notamment) et je ne regrette pas. Je renouvellerai l'expérience prochainement ;-)
Perfect match to my St. John 1840 Pre-Staunton Calvert „Library Size“ Chess Pieces. Fast delivered and best packaging.
What a great ches set. It was worth every euro.
I use it indoors for solving chess puzzels and for traveling.
It comes with a soft pouch so the board is protected during storage.
The chess-pieces are nice heavy weight and beautifully carved wood. Now waiting for my next orders from Royal Chess Mall, the Marengo set, chess table and the “Queen’s Gabit set with chessboard. Greetings from The Netherlands
I bought this storage box for my Mogul Staunton Luxury set from Royal Chess Mall. Before purchasing, I asked their customer service to help check the fit, and they were kind enough to do a trial fit for me. RCM customer service are the best. This is a large set, with a king height of 4.6 inches (118mm) and a 1.9 inch (49mm) base diameter, so I was concerned about space but it fits perfectly.
There is enough room for all the pieces without forcing anything in, and they sit securely without rattling. Even with the larger bases, everything feels well protected and organized. See the first three photos for the Mogul set.
What impressed me most is the capacity. The box can also hold two full tournament sized sets with German knight style pieces. Each set has a king height of 3.9 inches (98mm) and a base diameter of 1.4 inches (36mm). The last photo shows two full sets including all extra queens, and each half of the box fits one full set with all light and dark pieces.
The felt lining on the base protects the pieces well, and the divider keeps everything organized. The golden rosewood looks great in person, and the sliding lid is smooth and closes securely thanks to the magnetic closure.
One small improvement is that the inner side walls are not felt lined. It would be better if the entire interior was fully lined for added protection, especially for higher end pieces.
If you are looking for a budget friendly and compact storage solution, this box does the job very well. For those who prefer a more premium or luxury style storage, there are other options available, but this covers the essentials perfectly.
Overall, this is a solid and well built storage box. It works great for large sets around 4.5 to 4.6 inches king height, and even for multiple standard sets. Highly recommended.
Al enterarme de esta casa fabricante de hermosas piezas de ajedrez hechas a mano, pude investigar y encontrar el modelo que más me apetecía.
Las imágenes no le hacen justicia a las piezas cuando están en tus manos. El nivel de detalle es fuera de este mundo, cuidando cada elemento para que luzca estético.
Está fue mi primera compra de Royal Chess Mall, pero esperemos en un futuro tener otras piezas para mi colección.
Cabe destacar la excelente atención al cliente y el envío entregado en tiempo y forma al igual que su cuidado meticuloso para transportar mi pedido.
Es una belleza, una absoluta obra de arte. Las palabras faltan para explicar lo hermoso de este set.
El bud rosewood esta impecable, perfecto en todos los sentidos es un ajedrez de altísimo nivel artesanal, coml siempre RCM superó mis espectativas
Denne taske er af god kvalitet og beskytter mine skakbrikker af træ, når jeg er på farten
En fryd for øjet med klare, livlige farver
Det er en taske af god kvalitet, som jeg kan have mine skakbrætter med i. Den er polstret nok til at beskytte brættet
The Mogul Staunton Luxury Ebony set is a beautiful and premium chess set. The carving details, especially the knights, are excellent, and the weight makes it very satisfying to play with.
Paired with a 2.25" Dubrovnik-style board that I also purchased from Royal Chess Mall (as shown in the photos), the presentation is elegant. However, on a 2.25-inch square board it feels slightly crowded, and a larger board would suit this set better. I am planning to upgrade to a larger board for display.
One thing to note is storage. The pieces are quite large and may not fit well in smaller boxes. I tried a 12.5 x 5.5 x 4 inch box and found it tight, as shown in the photos, so a larger storage box is recommended.
In my case, there were some minor finishing inconsistencies on a few pieces. However, customer support was very responsive and resolved the issue under warranty by offering free replacement pieces, with shipping fully covered by Royal Chess Mall.
This gives me confidence that the warranty works as advertised, and future buyers should not hesitate to purchase. I have purchased multiple sets from Royal Chess Mall, and this is the only time I have encountered such a minor issue, which reflects their overall high standards of quality.
Jeg har købt flere sæt med »små skønhedsfejl«, hvor manglerne næsten ikke kan ses. Dette elegante sæt er endnu et eksempel. Det er tungt og af god kvalitet til en god pris. Royal Chess Mall er min faste leverandør. Kan varmt anbefales!
- Elegant and beautiful. True to the website photos and description.
- The pieces and board are very well made. No flaws, scratches or dents. They pieces stand perfectly upright with no tilting or rocking.
- The corners of the board squares all line up perfectly.
- The matte finish on the pieces is perfectly applied with no imperfections or variations in shading.
- The finish on the board is glossier than I anticipated but it is perfectly applied and the glossy finish shows off the beauty of the board and pieces.
- Fast standard shipping. The shipment arrived in seven days. It was fun to watch the daily progress of the shipment through New Delhi, Paris and Memphis and even the clearing through customs.
- The pieces and board were packed with care and had ample protective wrapping.
- Super-pleased. Highly recommended.
Perfekt til små brædder. Lige så flot som de andre. Vil købe det igen 👍
