The quality of the piece is top notch.
Craftsmanship is superb.
Packaging for the shipment was excellent and it took a shorter amount of time to arrive in central US, than many local shipping does! Six days!!
Will shop here again!
The small imperfections have been restored well, well enough to give good 'character' and retain their design. The pieces themselves are easy on the eyes, they have a lovely balance and are very tactile, great... 5tar!!!
This chess set is amazing! The craftsmanship and love you can tell is put into making it is remarkable! I will definitely be purchasing more sets.
Been looking for the perfect colour and size for our Lewis chessmen bought years ago and found it with this board
This red stained set is refreshing to play after some time with other typical woods. The color adds variety to chess, along with capturing some Romanian-Hungarian features very similar to sets created by IM Biro Sandor. Unlike many other sets with some common designs, this set is very recognizable with only one or two pieces. A nice addition.
The 1904 Cambridge Springs International chess tournament inspired this reproduction chess set. Very well crafted in ebony and boxwood, the knight distinguishes itself from other typical equestrian figures. Some may call it a Llama, others say a laughing horse. Either way, it's quite enjoyable and notably unique amongst most other chess knights. Along with comments from my friends regarding the knight, some also remarked on the hefty weight of the ebony pieces (measured at 17% more than the boxwood counterparts). An elegant set with early 20th century styling, and a nice addition to my collection.
I bought 3 storage boxes for different size chess pieces and I am very satisfied this product. The quality of the storage boxes is very good and was above my expectations. It has a nice texture and a good finish. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a must-have for keeping those valuable chess pieces safe from scratches or damage.
There was an issue with the availability, but that was solved within a couple of hours. They even offered me an upgrade. So it’s fair to say that customer service is what you expected it to be. I will most certainly visit this webshop again in the future.
Les pièces sont magnifiques, je suis extrêmement content de mon achat.
Je recommande vivement Royal Chess Mall.
Thank you to the artisans of Amritsar India, who produce the most beautiful of chess sets. I ordered just a chess set; no box or board. Extremely well packaged. Absolutely delighted with mine, and received in the UK in less than a week. Superb craftsmanship!
I had purchased a Chess set off House of Staunton and was incredibly disappointed when it arrived. Both in quality and design. I decided to try another company and man...when I opened this up I was so thankful. It was exactly what I hoped it would be. I purchased some 3.9 inch Staunton design pieces to go with it and man...what a set I have now. I absolutely adore this set and love to play on it. Thank you Royal Chess Mall! You guys know what you are doing.
very good quality of the figures, fast shipping
Just received them today. Wonderful design. Feel like in the serie. Thanks a lot.
Five stars for the chess pieces, they are spectacular, but one star less due to the measures in the sheet on the description being very approximate. In particular the king measures 43 mm (not 42) at the base, the bishop's base is about 37 mm (not 39), etc. Also the overall weight is about 100 grams less than declared in the data sheet (with the black pieces, in ebony, which generally have slightly smaller dimensions than the white ones, but overall weigh about ninety grams more). It is therefore a very expensive chess set, but it is worth it, except for the inaccuracy in the measurements (already noted in two other sets previously purchased). Reasonably fast shipping to Italy. Also included (surprisingly) was a soft pouch. Well done Royal Chess Mall!
Estas piezas están bien buenas
You can easily find more elaborate pieces with more attitude and more intricate embellishments. However, the quiet aesthetics of these pieces make them stand out as a testament to the perfection of the Staunton design. Pictures don’t do these pieces proper justice, you have to feel them to really appreciate them. I highly recommend these pieces. These pieces are also a delight to play with, designed with functionality in mind. On top of all this, RCM also offers an excellent support. You won’t regret this buy.
If there was any imperfections I could not tell. I am a proud Canadian owner and repeat customer.
This is the first time I bought from Royal Chess Mall and I was not disappointed, even with the "imperfect" version of this 1849 jacques, I can hardly spot the imperfection among the pieces. It's just perfect for me and you can't never go wrong with a Jacques set. Such a beauty!
Realizacja zamówienia, zapakowanie, wygląd zamówienia pełen profesjonalizm. Dziękuję bardzo.
These chess pieces are undoubtedly a high quality work of art.
It is obvious that they have been crafted with a lot of dedication, care and precision.
When you unpack the box you receive from them, you feel the even with the packaging every effort has been made to give these little marvels the care and protection they deserve. Very quick delivery by DHL.
The Alexandria chess pieces are truely beautiful but also majistic. Made of high quality material by professionals who perform with exceptional craftsmanship.
If you choose to buy this set, make sure to select a chessboard that is suitable not only to its size but to its style and elegance. 70mm to 75mm squares would be adequate, and choose square colors that give comfortable contrast and visibility. The ones sold for a reduced price because of some slight "imperfections" make me respect the makers even more for the value of their work and skills.
It's a challenge to find these imperfections. One or two pieces might have slight "imperfections", but generally speaking it is "Plus que parfait" as I would put it in french.
This is the third set of chess pieces I buy from Royal Chess Mall, and there are surely others to follow, waiting in my wishlist.
Estás piezas de ajedrez, son de mis preferidas
Son una obra de arte, sobre todo los caballos...
Jugar con ellas es un placer
Infinitely Grateful
I feel compelled to review this chess kit and thank Royal Cess Mall, for their seriousness, speed in communications, and shipping. The kit arrived with superlative packaging! 10 stars! I have never seen anything like it, robustness and accuracy. I was truly amazed when I started unpacking it! I could not believe my eyes at how beautiful each piece is! It faithfully respects the colors, the figures, the types of wood and the meticulousness of the carvings! A 10-star work of art! Thank you, Thank you, infinitely Thank you! Would I recommend it? With my eyes closed!! It is worth every single cent!, in fact, much more!
This set was heavily discounted due to “small imperfections” and a 30% off coupon at checkout.
If there any small imperfections, I have thus far been unable to find them. This set is heirloom quality and one day it will go to a beloved family member. 100% satisfied. Outstanding quality and very prompt shipping. Items were packaged extremely well and arrived without any damage.
Highly recommend
The first thing you notice about these pieces when you unwrap them is their big size.
Yes, 4.6" King is VERY big, really. You need a chessboard with 60mm squares, or even a bit bigger.
Then the design, you immediately feel a professional level achievement. Beautiful design and very careful workmanship.
This is a "slightly imperfect" chess set (pieces only). If you examine each piece carefully, you might find what could be called imperfection, if you had a strong sense of observation and a very critical mind, otherwise, trust me, nobody will notice anything if you don't tell them.
The knights' heads are very slightly tilted to the left. If you must call this imperfection.
Also, when you look at the king from the top, you may notice a very slight out of center inclination.
The only thing I didn't quite like about the design is the top of the Rook. I think it should better be a bit thicker.
I took some pictures in comparison with my favorite Reykjavik chess set I use daily to give some idea why such pieces are expensive.
Bishops and Rooks do not differ much than the standard Staunton design, but still very nicely done.
Pawn top sphere is a bit smaller than I would have expected, but acceptable.
The neck of each piece narrows nicely and not too much to make it fragile. All pieces look and feel very sturdy.
The weight and feel of these pieces is very pleasant indeed, and each piece is very carefully wrapped with sponge for protection during transport.
I have checked many sellers before buying from the Royal Chess Mall. I assure you, they are the best. Delivered within a week time by DHL.
I already purchased the Alexandria chess pieces too, before receiving this "Spartacus".
I'll write a review as soon as I get my hands on it.
One of the best chess set, very well crafted and with a beautiful knight.
Gisteren mijn zending gehad. Lekker snel. Prima ingepakt. Ik ben heel tevreden ben goed op de hoogte gehouden. Top bedrijf Royal Chess Mall
