“This is a cheap chess set . The pieces are poorly formed and are too easy to knock over.It is not an elegant set.The case, box and presentation are excellent. Shame a little bit more effort could have been spent on the pieces.”
“A bit disappointed with this chess set and was expecting more. The pieces are very light and fall over too easily. The board looks nice but is out of joint. All in all, had I tried before buying this is not one I would have chosen given the big name in chess that Jaques gives themselves.”
“Great service and value for a very good product delivered on time.The lost star the elastic holding the chess pieces is too slack to hold them in place .They fall into box which is disappointing.Assume it is possible to rectify this?Ideas please. Ernie Finch”
“The set came with a great package and the pieces look good. However, when the board is opened the sides dont align and one side is higher with a gap between the two half. Some of the pieces also dont quite sit right and need a bit of sanding. if not for those issues it would have been a great board but with them, it is difficult to play.”
“What can I say about the Jaques Chess set other than that I am extremely pleased. The set is well made, and the hand crafted pieces are exquisite. Love the detail on the chess pieces.Was not expecting such a high quality set for an astonishling amazing price”
“I bought this set to relearn myself and to help teach my 9 year old daughter. It was a good price and I particularly liked that the board acted as a store for the pieces. They the pieces are quite light and so tend to rather easily get knocked about, but overall this is a sensible purchase for beginners.”
