Emisario Club Chess Set Combo

Very impressed.

I bought this set as a Christmas gift for my dad so we could play some games on something better than our tiny $7 glass set. My only two concerns when buying it were 1) the pieces, being made of plastic, might be hard to handle, and 2) the board would struggle to lay flat after being shipped rolled up like a newspaper. Thankfully, neither of these concerns turned out to be issues. The pieces are weighted and feel very premium for being plastic - no complaints there. As for the board, upon taking it out of the box and rolling it out on the table, I would have never guessed that it was even rolled up to begin with. Very happy with how this set turned out.

Nice for the price.

I haven't owned a chess set since I was in H.S. Caught the bug again after watching QG. The pieces, while plastic, have a great look and feel. The regulation roll up mat lays flat. I got the tan and brown which are kind of ivory and chestnut in color with a green and white mat. You'll want to air it out a few days as the fumes from manufacture are prominent, but we are already having fun with playing again. Way better than screen time!

Good youth birthday present

The chess set was exactly what we wanted for our 11 year old grandson's birthday. The pieces have good detail, are sturdy, and weighted. The board is just right and easy to use. Overall it is a great combination of bag, flexible board and sturdy pieces that will survive in demanding conditions. We are very pleased with everything, and at a very reasonable price.
