Great for the Money!

I have been looking for a international-type chess set that was good quality and a fair price. This set exceeded both expectations; workmanship was superior, weight was great for a entry level set, and price was a bargain, as good or better than famous brand sets in similar design. I would say this set, especially the queens, are far superior in design even to HOS (they look real good in comparison). I would recommend this set to anyone.
Only a few chess players work at chess to the best of their abilities.
