A truly beautiful chess set. The Knights, Bishops, King, and Queen are unique. The very wide base makes these chessmen very stable on the board. It's not hard to believe that this model was greatly appreciated by the great Bobby Fischer!
A huge thank you again to Royal Chess Mall for making this "little gem" available at a reasonable price and so quickly.
Thank you, good packaging, all figures are made of very high quality.
I've purchased a few sets from Royal Chess Mall and these are my favorite. The Ebony wood used is beautiful and I love the design. The double weighting of the pieces feels so nice in my hands. The shipping, even though from Im in the USA and they are in India, was really fast. Each piece was wrapped in foam separately to prevent damage.
The set looks stunning!!!
I ordered the Averbakh set and I must say it looks and feels superb live.
Great craftsmanship.
Defineteply recommend if you are interested in somewhat taller pieces and enjoy a classical Soviet design.
I have received this wonderful chess game and I am truly convinced of the great quality of it. I thank Royal Chess Mall, for the great attention it gives me and I hope to continue buying many more games from them in the future
Estás piezas son únicas! , te hacen pensar en Morphy, Andersen, Staunton , La Pentier , etc . Son piezas que te invitan a tocarlas , el ébano frío , negro como la noche y con ese look brillante. El Boj envejecido , no es verdaderamente un look envejecido, más bien, es un look ámbar o amarillento, es muy particular y tiene su encanto en sí mismo, pero , no es exactamente un boj envejecido/oxidado, esto hay que tomarlo en cuenta , a mí me han gustado mucho, pero podría entender que para algunos fuese "demasiado" . El detalle del diseño es único , las bases son muy anchas , las piezas si bien son robustas a la vez son elegantes , el rey impone , los caballos son evidentemente los chicos malos de todo el conjunto, los peones son muy particulares, si bien simples , la base ancha les da un look único de sofisticación o singularidad. Tuve un pequeño problema con el Rey blanco el cual me vino manchado de rojo , y Royalchess en muy poco tiempo me repusieron la pieza , la calidad de atención es impecable muy diferente a otras páginas. En resumen unas verdaderas joyas si te gustan las piezas clásicas con un toque particular.
Royal Chess Mall had a quick delivery to US with pieces arriving in perfect condition. All the slender pieces are straight without lean.
Aesthetically, I find the style clean and elegant with expressive knights. I really struggled choosing between this set and Royal Chess Mall's Dubrovnik or Zagreb sets. The knights are perhaps just a touch large for a fall line from the king to rook. When looking at the photos online, I worried that the queen and bishop lack distinction, but viewed in person it isn't a problem. The queen has a noticeably larger presence.
As noted in other reviews, the color of the light pieces is more golden than the toffee shade of other antiqued/distressed sets. I have two 57mm wooded boards, ebony/maple and rosewood/maple. Personally, I like the ebony/maple combo better.
Overall, I am very pleased and will consider RCM for future purchases.
This is a nicely balanced design, my favorite from my RCM purchases to date, having started a small collection. The antique lacquer version is beautiful…note the black pieces are not lacquered, but polished.
Aquí esta mi juego de ajedrez. Me gusta mucho como queda, ha sido un acierto elegir este modelo. Los caballos blancos tienen un color ligeramente diferente al resto pero supongo que es normal al hacerse a mano por separado.
I received this 12" travel chess set as a gift and honestly, I loved it the moment I opened it. The craftsmanship looks beautiful, the box feels premium, and everything is neatly stored.
A stunning chess set. The knight and rook are unique and perfectly crafted. Ebony and boxwood make the pieces of this beautiful set particularly attractive.
Once again, I applaud the quality of the chess pieces offered by Royal Chess Mall!
Madera sólida de shessham acabado liso perfecto, hermosas vetas cierre hermético y sobre todo muy funcional
The set looks and feel premium. It fits perfectly on the air+. The delivery was very fast and they even included a storage bag which was a nice surprise! Will definitely buy again!
Very nice set and I love the knights! I have them set up on a 1.75” Queen Gambit’s board. A little tight but still very manageable. Fast shipping from India to Colorado! Thank you RCM!!
It is really very good chess set , Can suggest to everyone. It not have really imperfections (maybe very very small, but very hard to find it)
This Chess Set is really magnificent. The slite imperfections are very small and they don't really matter,also you will never see them unless you look at every detail super-carefully.I really appreciate it and recommend to others.
Despite being on the smaller side, they have a very good weight to them and don't feel unstable. Very beautifully crafted and the colour is stunning. This smaller set fits well on the 19" matching bud rosewood board. They give you spare queens for pawn promotion. Very happy.
The colour of the box rosewood is quite stunning and the surface is perfectly smooth. Solid construction too. Underneath is covered in green felt. Great size for the matching 3.3" Spiraled Steed pieces I ordered. The pieces aren't too big, nor too small for these squares and there isn't so much contrast that it's difficult to discern.
Yes, perhaps the most handsome chess board that I have ever owned. This large 21” x 21” board with its 55mm squares of ebony and maple wood in perfect union, marking out the battlefield, is a beautiful sight to behold. The rich colors of black and cream framed in dark brown is, in a word, majestic.
My order started out being delayed. There were some pawns that still needed to be made before they could ship the complete set. I must say I was initially disappointed but Manwinder of your office kept me informed throughout the process. His customer service went beyond expectations and for that I am truly grateful. He also let me know when my order did ship and it arrived a few days later. The set is beautiful and was very safely packed. Definitely worth the wait. Manwinder turned what could have been a bad experience into a good one.
Beautiful Ebony and Antique Boxwood Chess Set. As always, Royal Chess Mall offers chess sets with truly incredible value! My Royal Chess Mall adventure has now included over 15 different chess sets, each of great beauty and quality.
I was genuinely impressed by the beauty and quality of my 3.9" Craftsman Series Staunton chess pieces from Royal Chess Mall. The craftsmanship and detail exceeded my expectations. I brought them to my local chess club and quietly swapped out the plastic pieces for these ebony and boxwood ones. Without me saying a word, three out of the four people I played that night commented on how beautiful the pieces were. They’re an absolute joy to play with.
Yes, these are premium luxury chess pieces, and it’s tempting to keep them on a shelf just to admire them. But they’re so well‑made and so satisfying to handle that I actually want to share the playing experience with others.
After comparing several well‑known online chess set retailers, I found Royal Chess Mall offered the best quality in this price range. The value, finish, and attention to detail really stand out.
I’m already looking forward to my next purchase from Royal Chess Mall. The 1950s Fischer Dubrovnik set is calling my name.
I treated myself to some new wooden pieces for my Chessnut Air chessboard. They were shipped promptly from India via FedEx. The parcel arrived in Germany within six days. I was able to track the pieces' journey easily using the tracking service.
I’m thrilled. What precise and delicate work! Installing the sensors is no problem, even for someone who is not particularly handy. I removed the felt plate from the original plastic figures with my fingernails and then pulled out the sensor. Next, apply solvent-free adhesive around the edge of the hole for the sensors. Insert the sensor and press on the enclosed felt pad. Only the rubber extension needs to be cut off the pawn sensors.
A gorgeously carved and weighty set. It is the perfect size. I love this chess set.
In my opinion, this chess set design is the greatest of all time and a must-have for the serious collector. The stockiness of the rooks, the design of the knights, and the king-side stamps make it a classic. If I could only have one chess set, this would be it.
It is stunning and feels great to play with.
