Reseñas

Esta pieza de ajedrez tiene un acabado brillante, un tacto excelente y un peso perfecto. Es un producto excelente tanto para jugar al ajedrez como para decorar el hogar. Además, estoy muy agradecido por vuestra ayuda durante el proceso de despacho de aduanas cuando la compré. Gracias.

Un fantástico juego de ajedrez clásico Staunton. Las piezas transmiten una gran solidez al tacto y es un placer jugar con ellas. La calidad del acabado es muy alta, incluso con esas pequeñas y encantadoras imperfecciones que se aprecian al observarlas de cerca, pero eso es precisamente lo que da alma a este tipo de piezas artesanales.

A lovely set, obviously Staunton-inspired, but with a number of differences, notably the knights and the king's finial. I was initially unsure of the flamboyant knights, but they are easy to move and not too difficult to handle, while the finial is very delicately done. In my opinion, though, the real stars are the rooks - solid and sturdy, and well-weighted like all the other pieces.
The bud rosewood is a stunning reddish-brown, and very pleasing on the eye. The standard of craftsmanship is quite exquisite.
The set I bought was 'slightly imperfect'. I spent quite a while trying to spot the slight imperfection, but all I could find were some rough edges on the felt, easily remedied by a couple of minutes with nail scissors!
It speaks volumes for RCM's quality control standards that they consider a virtually perfect set 'imperfect'.
Si buscas un juego que resulte familiar pero a la vez llamativamente diferente, te recomiendo este.

He recibido mi artículo en buen estado, aunque este tenía un rey rojo más oscuro que el resto de las piezas, pero RCM lo solucionó.

I bought this travel chess set as a keepsake for my recently deceased father, almost as if it were a final gift from him, as his passing occurred just a few days before my birthday.
I was looking for a functional chess set that I could easily take with me anywhere. I was immediately attracted by the photos of this model on the Royal Chess Mail website, after hesitating between it and their folding travel chess sets. What appealed to me here was the complete box, which closes securely, as well as the drawers for storing the pieces. This avoids having to store the pieces inside the board itself, as is the case with folding travel sets.
You can also play or replay games from books or annotated collections by placing the pieces along the edges of the board or on the top section of the box. It is genuinely practical.
The pieces have a classic Staunton design, with bishops featuring an almost vertical slit. The proportions between the pieces are perfect, with a special mention for the knights, which are particularly well crafted. This is quite rare with pieces of this size, and even more so for a travel set.
The case is beautiful, both open and closed. It would look perfectly at home on a desk, for example. It is fairly substantial and quite heavy, so carrying it around every day in its current form may not be ideal. However, Royal Chess Mail also provides a small pouch for storing the pieces. I think I will look for a protective sleeve for the board so that I can safely carry it in a backpack or briefcase.
I think this format is actually perfect for travelling: a single, non-folding piece, ideal for placing on a train or airplane tray table, even if it sticks out slightly. In my opinion, it is more practical than a folding travel chessboard.
The woods used are of very high quality. The golden rosewood used for the pieces is beautiful, with a lovely combination of light and dark grain. The chessboard has a matte finish, which does pick up fingerprints a little, but it cleans easily with a soft cloth.
The colours of the squares are perfectly harmonious with the pieces: neither too dark nor too light, with no visual fatigue or distracting contrast when playing or reading a position.
The pieces slide nicely across the board when you want to move quickly, replay variations or work on openings, for example. The pieces are magnetic and stay firmly in place, but the magnets are just the right strength. They are not excessively strong, as is often the case with magnetic chess sets. Here, you never have any difficulty lifting a piece from its square because of the magnet.
In fact, the Royal Chess Mail team has got the balance absolutely right. You could almost think that the pieces are slightly weighted. This is the first time I have experienced this with a magnetic chess set, and it makes the set particularly pleasant to use.
The proportions of the pieces relative to the squares are perfect — as you can see in the photos with four pawns on a single square, or the rook lying down on the board. If I were to be extremely picky, perhaps the King’s base takes up just a little too much space on its square. But in actual use, this is not an issue, and the proportions remain perfectly logical in relation to the other pieces.
This set has a very high symbolic value for me because it was, in a way, my father’s final “gift”. It fits perfectly into my collection, and not only as a travel set. I have to admit that its practical storage and its ability to sit neatly on my desk mean that it sometimes replaces my traditional size 5 or 6 sets when I want to replay historical games or work on my chess.
Now I just need to find a beautiful carrying case or a small attaché case for the chessboard to make it easier to transport.
What a beautiful set created by Royal Chess Mail, exactly in keeping with its minimalist name and elegant gift edition. It is a magnificent object that will appeal to anyone who appreciates beautiful chess sets and beautifully crafted pieces.
I had already loved Royal Chess Mail’s unweighted Dubrovnik set with the folding chessboard case, and once again I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
And I almost forgot to mention the excellent packaging: everything was very well protected, and the shipping and delivery were both fast. Their chat service is also excellent, with consistently quick responses and very good advice.
One final suggestion: if I were to make another purchase from Royal Chess Mail right now, it would be incredible if the team created a small-format travel set featuring the Dubrovnik-style pieces.
Thank you, Royal Chess Mail, for the quality of your products and the breadth of your collection.

Impresionantes Piesces

Perfect handmade chess board. High quality finishes, no sharp edges or between squares, and all joints are polished. The surface is a little shiny but perfect to play.
Shipment package is very good protecting the board properly. Foam is placed along the edges and on both faces.
I asked them to stick a fragile sticker to avoid problems during transport (by plane, by truck,...), this trick usually works quite well.
Communication with the company was perfect, answering very fast and solving the doubts.
En resumen, un tablero de gran calidad para disfrutar jugando al ajedrez (o para estudiar) con juegos de piezas grandes.

Beautifully made pieces, crafted with attention to detail and whose antique effect captures the spirit of the 19th century. They are solid and sturdy, perhaps not ideal for playing blitz, but they were probably never intended for that 180 years ago! My pieces were 'slightly imperfect', but close inspection revealed only a very minor mark (about 1mm in size!) on the white king's crown and on the underside of a black piece, not the sort of blemishes you would notice unless you were an obsessive stickler for detail, in other words nothing to worry about.
Como siempre, las piezas llegaron rápidamente y en un embalaje indestructible.

"The website said ‘slightly imperfect.’ What do you mean, imperfect?!
I don't see any damage or anything like that at all.
The pieces really look like they're from the 1930s—jet black and antique brown. And nice and big and heavy. A set you use to play ‘slow game’—so you can really enjoy it! "

A great alternative to the Chessnut Pro chess set pieces.
We appreciate that Royal Mall offers pieces that are proportionate to the board.
It’s a pleasure to look at and play with the pieces from the Heritage 3.9” set.
El servicio de Royal Mall —desde la compra hasta la entrega del producto— es IMPECABLE.

Este es uno de esos juegos de ajedrez que llaman la atención nada más entrar en la habitación. Las piezas metálicas tienen un peso muy agradable, los detalles están muy bien definidos y el tablero presenta un acabado decorativo muy elegante. Queda igual de bien como elemento decorativo llamativo que para jugar.

Ayer recibí mi pedido. Llegó muy rápido. Estaba muy bien embalado. Estoy muy satisfecho y me mantuvieron bien informado. Royal Chess Mall es una empresa estupenda.

Las piezas de ajedrez son de excelente calidad. El acabado en madera de boj ebonizada tiene un aspecto elegante, y el peso y el equilibrio se notan muy bien durante la partida. Lo mejor es que los orificios tienen el tamaño perfecto para los chips sensores del Chessnut Pro, lo que hace que la instalación sea rápida y sencilla. Los chips encajan a la perfección sin necesidad de modificaciones, lo que proporciona un acabado seguro y profesional. Si buscas piezas de recambio que sean totalmente compatibles con el juego de sensores Chessnut Pro de 3,6", te las recomiendo encarecidamente.

These Alexandria Luxury Staunton Burnt Carving Chess Pieces are nothing short of exquisite! They are absolutely STUNNING and will literally take your breath away! You will be the envy of all your chess friends when you break out these pieces to play! I am also very impressed with Chess Mall's quick shipping to the USA. This is my second purchase from them and everything was well packaged and arrived in safe condition. Highly recommended!

Este juego Staunton «Queen’s Gambit» de 3,75" es absolutamente impresionante. El tallado en palisandro dorado es preciso, elegante e impecable. Cada pieza tiene un peso perfecto, lo que ofrece una sensación de alta calidad y una excelente estabilidad durante la partida. Royal Chess Mall proporcionó un embalaje seguro y un envío rápido. ¡Muy recomendable para cualquier aficionado al ajedrez!

It was with deep emotion and a childlike sense of wonder that I unpacked my set of Dragon pieces (boxwood/ebony version) and chessboard for this version.
I'm very pleased with it.
A special shout-out to your artisans, who all deserve a medal.
They have gold in their hands.
I highly recommend this company, which ships products quickly and ensures they are well-protected during transit.
Te deseo mucho éxito en tu negocio

The board has an attractive golden palissander -and-maple appearance with good color contrast that makes the pieces easy to distinguish. The wood grain is appealing and the border is neatly finished, giving it a classic look. The square size appears well matched to the Botvinnik–Flohr pieces (which I purchased as well), resulting in a balanced playing surface. Very elegant together.
Es un tablero plegable, muy práctico para guardarlo y transportarlo. Sin embargo, una vez desplegado, la parte central sigue sin verse

I purchased the 3.9" Craftsman Knight Golden Rosewood together with the 20" Legacy Golden Rosewood Luxery Chess Board to match the set. Even though the delivery had a few issues with FedEx the items arrived really well packaged. I have to say that after a lot of research wanting a quality chess set, you cannot go wrong with Royal Chess Mall products. The craftsmanship it is next level, the only reason I gave 4 stars is because some of the Golden Rosewood are much lighter than the rest. See the 2 knights. I understand that it's due to timber shades but they could match the sets better to get an even colour. I am tempted to get now a larger set...

Un juego de ajedrez precioso. Es un bonito centro de mesa para nuestra mesa. Las vetas del mármol tienen un aspecto único y exquisito.

Me estoy aficionando a coleccionar juegos de 3,25 pulgadas. Este juego de Reykjavik es el número 3 de mi colección. Lo que me gusta de este juego es que es un juego que puedes llevar al club, a una cafetería o incluso a casa. Tiene un buen diseño Staunton, sin rasgos que puedan llevar a confusión. Es más pequeño y ligero, o igual de ligero que algunos juegos de torneo. Sin embargo, es lo suficientemente grande como para que no te topes con otras piezas mientras intentas jugar una partida. Encaja perfectamente en un tablero con casillas de 2 pulgadas / 50 mm, tal y como se muestra en mi foto. El punto débil del juego serían las torres. La parte superior parece extremadamente frágil, con esos cortes profundos y ese parapeto tan fino. Sin duda, se romperá con el más mínimo impacto. Esta es la peor característica del diseño de Reykjavik: un mal diseño de las torres. No recomendaría jugar partidas rápidas con este juego. Los caballos tienen un diseño caricaturesco y no se asemejan al diseño de los caballos del Campeonato Mundial de Ajedrez de Reykjavik de 1972. Se trata, por tanto, de un diseño más ligero, cálido y acogedor en comparación con el diseño de 1972. En general, es un juego de buena calidad para partidas ocasionales y quizá para el análisis, pero, en mi opinión, resulta un poco demasiado grande para el análisis.

Excelente boj envejecido lacado, las piezas teñida simulan mas el tono de la madera exotica: Purpleheart muy apreciada por su color púrpura natural, la cual, solo se produce en el centro del continente americano y es muy apreciada por coleccionistas, un set muy cómodo y ergonómico

Piezas Pro Staunton de 4,1« muy bonitas, fabricadas en palisandro lastrado, que se sienten de maravilla en la mano cuando se combinan con el tablero de ajedrez Green and Maple HDMR de 21». ¡Un escaparate a la altura de estas obras maestras!

I purchased these 2.8” Golden Rosewood Tournament Staunton Chess Pieces together with Royal Chess Mall’s 16" Walnut & Maple Printed Chess Board – Matte Finish Tournament Board (with 40 mm squares), and the combination has exceeded my expectations.

Las proporciones son excelentes. Se trata de piezas compactas, pero conservan el aspecto y el tacto de un auténtico juego Staunton de torneo, en lugar de un juego de viaje. Las casillas de 40 mm del tablero de 16” encajan a la perfección, lo que proporciona a cada pieza el espacio suficiente al tiempo que mantiene el tamaño total compacto e ideal para un escritorio o una mesa pequeña.

Las piezas en sí están magníficamente elaboradas. Tienen un buen peso, son estables y ofrecen una sensación muy agradable al jugar con ellas. Los caballos son especialmente impresionantes para un juego de este rango de precios, y todas las piezas están torneadas y acabadas con gran precisión. El palisandro dorado presenta un hermoso veteado natural y sutiles variaciones de color, lo que confiere al juego la calidez y el carácter que solo la madera auténtica puede aportar.

También valoro mucho sus proporciones compactas. Se notan sólidos al tacto sin resultar demasiado grandes, lo que los hace perfectos para cualquiera que quiera un juego tradicional de Staunton de madera pero no tenga espacio para un tablero de tamaño de torneo completo.

Por último, me sorprendió gratamente que Royal Chess Mall incluyera bolsas de almacenamiento tanto para las piezas como para el tablero. Fue un detalle muy considerado que no me esperaba.

One thing buyers should be aware of is that, because these are made from natural wood, there is some variation in color from piece to piece. For example, my white king is slightly lighter than some of the other white pieces, and a few of the pawns differ subtly in tone.

En general, estoy muy contento con esta compra. Buscaba un juego de ajedrez de madera compacto y de alta calidad con el que pudiera disfrutar durante muchos años, y esta combinación es exactamente lo que esperaba. Recomendaría sin dudarlo estas piezas a cualquiera que busque un diseño Staunton tradicional que ocupe menos espacio.

Estoy completamente satisfecho con este juego de ajedrez Pro Staunton de 4,1«. Las piezas y el tablero de 21» llegaron en perfectas condiciones, bien embaladas con abundante plástico de burbujas. Las piezas de palisandro dorado están talladas con gran delicadeza, y la calidad general del juego es absolutamente excepcional. El peso de las piezas se nota muy bien durante la partida, y la caja de madera para guardarlas es un excelente extra para mantenerlo todo a salvo. ¡Sin duda volveré a comprar a este vendedor en el futuro!
