Description
These attractive chessmen in the traditional English Staunton style are crafted from Acacia and Boxwood. They are hand polished for a beautiful luster and they are weighted for greater stability. The Staunton design has become the standard for tournament play. The pieces are easily distinguishable making for easier game play. Knights are made to resemble the head and neck of a horse. Kings are the tallest pieces featuring a cross atop a closed crown. Queens are slightly smaller than the kings, and feature a coronet topped with a small ball. Rooks feature castle battlements, and bishops resemble a liturgical headdress of a western church. Pawns are the smallest and are topped by a plain ball. The pieces which represent humans (the king, queen, bishop, and pawn) feature a collar which separates the body from the head design. These will be enjoyed for years to come.

Recently I received a free sample from WE Games with the intent to give them my honest review. In all honesty, my first look of the set, not to my liking. But once I got a hold of the pieces and began using them with my nephew, I started to really enjoy the weight and feel of the pieces. They are nicely polished and their choice of wood is a good contrast. My only gripe with the set is that I usually mistake the bishop for the queen, but that may be due to my lack of playing the game enough and my lack of good vision. At the end of the day this is a great item to give to a beginning chess player or to someone who occasionally plays for fun. It also makes for a great set to have on display since the finish and design on them are well done.

These chess pieces are on the smaller side but are surprisingly detailed and weighted! They are a perfect upgrade from the travel chess set I’ve been using. I love how beautiful they are, and the felt on the bottom makes them feel very high end when picking them up and placing them on the board.
