“Although the chess board is satisfactory, the chess pieces are very light and fall out of the holes very easily! Not fit for purpose for a travel chess set. My attempt to return the set for a full refund failed because the postal charge was not covered by Jaques. Very disappointing overall.”
“It's tiny. It's made of wood. It's a fully functioning chess set that I'm going to take on holiday with us and was a million times more appealing than the usual ugly magnetic travel sets.
For under a tenner (including postage) this feels like an impossibility in 2024.
I would have been happy to pay double for such a lovely item, Jaques.
It also arrived quickly and was beautifully hand packaged - consider me impressed!”
“The quality of the chess set is great, it’s very well made. My one criticism is that the pieces don’t fit very tightly into the holes and fall out at the lightest touch. As it’s used as a travel chess set this makes it a little difficult not to lose the pieces”
“Very efficient delivery. Well packaged in 'gift wrap' style. All as described online.
Only criticism is that chess pieces do not fit snugly in holes on board so are easily dislodged.
As a 'travel set' this defeats the whole purpose of being able to play whilst in transit.
Magnetic chess pieces/board is therefore a better option.”
