This is my first wooden set and I’m amazed. To my surprise, the pawns are much nicer than I expected. They are 28.5mm in diameter (instead of 27mm as specified) with a nice chunky body which gives this set a lot of presence even in a 2.25” (57mm) square board. They achieved the perfect size balance.
About the weight, the set is a little lighter than specified. However, they are more stable by desing than by weight. The king is 45g, but I have heavier pieces that are not more stable than this set. I actually like the fact that they are not that heavy, so there’s less chances of ruining my veneered board if I drop them on it by accident. I have ruined boards this way before with very heavy plastic pieces.
There’s some minor imperfections, like a single pawn with improper staining and very small chips at the top, which hopefully can be replaced, and rook crenelations are not perfectly aligned, but to be honest, it’s a great set regardless.
Maybe in the future I will get the golden rosewood version to avoid worrying about color wear, but I am certain it would blend too much with my board.
I doubt this set can disappoint anyone. Get it while you can!
I finally understand why this German knight tournament set is so commonly used. I always see pro players on YouTube using this style, so I specifically looked for it. The customer service from Royal Chess Mall was very helpful, and that is how I found out this is called a German knight set.
The pieces feel balanced and stable, and the clean design makes them easy to recognize during play.
The shape, size, and weight make the pieces very easy to grab with no slipping, and the movement feels solid.
The knight is very satisfying to pinch. Its shape makes it easy to grip and move quickly, which is great for fast games.
For sizing reference, it works on both a 2.25 inch board, as shown on the green board in the photos, which gives more breathing room, and a 2 inch board, as shown on the walnut and maple board, which feels more compact and eye pleasing.
Overall, great clarity and playability. Now I see why it is a tournament standard. I already have four chess piece sets, but if I ever had to keep only two, this would definitely be one of them.
Now! What can I say, just wow! The balance, the stability, not too small and certainly not too big! This is now my favourite piece out of all of my collection. I own a RCM Dubrovnik, NOJ Dubrovnik, Staunton 1849, original Chavet, etc. However, this tournament set killed them all. I hope RCM won't bump their prices on tournament sets.
Piezas de ajedrez de muy buena calidad, terminados perfectos, estoy muy satisfecho con esta compra. Tal vez lo único que se podría mejorar es en agregar un poco más de peso a las piezas, son un poco más ligeras de lo que esperaba, salvo el rey y la dama que tienen un peso adecuado. Además de eso no tengo ninguna otra queja. Piezas muy recomendables a un precio accesible.
The quality, shipping cost, and speed were very good! Great experience!
Quality and craftsmanship of these figures are out of this world. Also customer care is something I'm really impresed about. Unfortunately much much better than shops in Poland where I'm from. If anyone consider buying from Royal Chess Mall I highly recommend. Big thank you to RCM team.
They are just beautiful. They are heavier at the base, so you can throw them forward in the chess board or accidently touch them while playing and they will stay standing. They are really nice to the touch aswell. Really what I spected
