“ProsBoard looks great and fairly well made. Pieces are stored under the board nicely. Comes in a great little box and feels like a proper gift from an old toy shop.Cons my particular board does not fold down 100 flat, but it is only slightly off. There is a little discolouration on a small bit of the edge, but this could be the wood pieces are not weighted, but youd be kidding yourself to expect some weighted pieces that are not made of horrid plastic or from a much more expensive set.Would absolutely buy this board again and give it as a gift”
“Over all it was a nice set, well presented , I was a little disappointed that one of the white pieces one of the Rooks was quite a different colour from the other white pieces I will be asking if a replacement can be sent.”
“A piece of Art . Well finished pieces and board. Numbering are not there, which is not a problem.It is heavy to travel with. However size is convenient for travelling. I think it is too expensive to pack it in a suitcase. For home use, i would rather buy a larger size.”
“I loved its presentation but was not too taken by the form of the Knights,. I do think it is a lovely present, and the basic rule sheet is great. I shall purchase presents from Jacques again.”
“This is a great starter chess set for my 11 year old son. Its beautifully made, with nice looking pieces and just the right size. He loves it and so much nicer than playing on a computer.”
“I bought this for my five years old daughter as a gift coz she is learning to play chess at her school club. The quality is not as good as I expected such as there is a chip damage on the board and also there is missing corner on of of the castle. Also there is not anything to make the box secure who it is been closed. I wish I could return it but I have already opened up. Kind of disappointed and definitely not worth the money. Cant believe that they have made chess for more than 100 years.”
