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
Esta bolsa es de buena calidad y protege mis piezas de ajedrez de madera cuando las llevo de un sitio a otro.
Colores vivos y llamativos
Es una bolsa de buena calidad para llevar mis tableros de ajedrez. Tiene el acolchado suficiente para proteger el tablero.
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.
He comprado varios juegos «ligeramente imperfectos» que apenas presentan imperfecciones apreciables. Este elegante juego es otro de ellos. De gran calidad a un buen precio. Royal Chess Mall es mi tienda de confianza. ¡Muy recomendable!
- 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.
Ideal para tablas pequeñas. Precioso, como el resto. Lo volveré a comprar 👍
La mejor de todas. Muy equilibrada y divertida de manejar, sobre todo la torre ancha.
For my birthday, I was utterly spoilt by my wife and sons by these chess pieces (3,9 inch Heritage Series Staunton) and (ebony and buxus) chessboard. What beauty and craftsmanship, stunning!
It completes/amplifies the wonderful experience of playing chess with the look and feel of a work of art.
And who knows, it may inspire (one of) our grandchildren to take up this beautiful game.
Mejor en persona. Excelente calidad.
Mejor calidad que The House of Staunton y a un precio asequible
Grandes obras de arte. La madera de palisandro Bud cambia de color según las condiciones de iluminación.
Una buena oferta. Perfecto para mí.
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!
He estado enseñando a mi sobrino a jugar al ajedrez y hemos estado usando piezas de plástico; sin embargo, un día vino a casa, vio mi juego de madera y se enamoró de las piezas de madera, así que ahora cada vez que jugamos tiene que ser, sí, lo has adivinado, con las piezas de madera. Por eso decidí regalarle este juego, ya que no era muy caro, y tengo que admitir que me ha impresionado mucho y, obviamente, a mi sobrino le encanta. Está fantásticamente tallado, pero tiene un diseño sencillo y un peso agradable; la madera de sheesham y el boj hacen que sea muy duradero para el uso diario e incluso para el ajedrez de competición. Muy recomendable.
Although the website recommends it for pieces up to a 4 inch king height, I tested it with a 4.1 inch Pro Staunton weighted set with 4 queens. Even with the extra queens and slightly larger king, the pouch closes fully without any issue, as you can see in the photos I took. It does feel a bit tighter compared to smaller sets, but still works fine, which was a pleasant surprise.
The pouch is best suited for a 3.9 inch German Knight tournament series with 4 queens. From the open and closed photos, the 4.1 inch set is slightly tighter when closed, while the 3.9 inch set sits more comfortably and closes more naturally, but both work without any issues.
One thing missing from the product page is clear sizing information, so I measured it myself. For reference, the pouch is roughly cylindrical with about a 5 inch diameter and 8 inch height from the base to the string level. This gives a better idea of its actual capacity.
This pouch has a premium look and feel, with a soft leatherette exterior and a smooth inner lining that helps protect the chess pieces. I have also included a photo of the empty pouch to show the interior. The drawstring works well and closes securely without hassle.
I would recommend this if you are on a tighter budget and cannot get a storage box but still want something that serves the purpose well.
Imperfecciones MUY leves, prácticamente imperceptibles a menos que se fije bien. ¡Un conjunto precioso!
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.
