Plastic Chess Pieces 3,75" / 95 mm King Height - Tournament Standard Size Weighted Chessmen

I don't have a ton of experience with chess pieces, but these have worked very well for us so far. I play mostly with my young son - he is obsessed, so we play a lot, and the pieces take a fair amount of abuse. They've stood up very well. I was looking for pieces that would be sturdy and wouldn't hurt to step on (because I knew they'd always be scattered all over the floor). They indeed work well for that. The "triple weighting" is very nice, highly recommend choosing a set with that feature. Especially for kids, as it makes them harder to knock over. It also gives them some nice "gravitas" (pun intended). I initially thought the design of the knights was a little odd looking, but I don't notice that anymore. I bought a second set for when we inevitably lose some of the pieces (and to have spare queens for promotion - better than the cardboard ones I made).

Very playable. Very durable. Way better than the “triple weighted” sets everyone sells that arrive with loose weights or get them after a few games. Not as heavily weighted but still very good. Knight looks a little dopey but otherwise fantastic set. Plastic feels like a much higher quality than most sets. Update. Have played this set a lot. Pieces have fallen off the table during blitz games. It's been banged around. Still in excellent shape with no loose weights. Everyone that I've played against has enjoyed them.

The size and shape of these chess men are outstanding. The only grief is the packaging because while it was intact the pieces were not packaged individually and it was thrown in a plastic bag. Order the DGT Starter set if you want to give it as a present to somebody for Christmas. Also the base of the pieces is quite wide and the pieces are nicely weighted. Get 55mm size squares chessboard for these chess men. Overall it was a great buy, get it do not hesitate.

We Ordered a Set and had a difficulty that was ACTUALLY Handled Swiftly and Properly! We were unaware that this was being handled from Slovenia! We have ALL GOOD THINGS to say about DGT! We originally thought that our problem would be taken care of by AMAZON since the set came from their warehouse! WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE SET! NO X-TRA QUEENS IS FINE WITH US AS IT IS SELDOM USED! DGT IS GETTING A FULL 13 OUT OF A 1 TO 10 RATING SYSTEM! BUY YOUR SET ASAP! IT LOOKS and FEELS Great! Thanks to DGT for a FINE Set!

These outstanding chess pieces by DGT is just more than amazing weighted pieces. Very unique and well made. It’s high quality plastic pieces with combination of great materials. Perfect for rapid and blitz games. The most attractive thing about this chess is that the build quality is just fantastic. Highly recommend for all chess lovers.
