In my opinion, one of the most ideal chess sets that I have had the time to review to this day. Check out this chess set by following the link below:

As always, thank you for taking the time to drop by and I with each and every one of you a wonderful day! Thank you!
I'm happy for you! I've been wanting to see you review this set for a while!
Thanks you, it's a really nice set!
Love your channel and how you dive into these sets, thank you beautiful chess pieces
Wow!! I love these shots! This Chess Sett is so amazing
Great and thorough review as usual. I enjoy your chess piece reviews. This is out of my price range though and I really gotta love it before considering. Not a fan of the knight though. It looks like a bottle opener to me, and I can’t unsee it! Makes me wanna pop open a cold one whilst playing chess. Keep up the great videos!
really nice man, thank you for the review
Very nice review - awesome chess set! You mention in the video it's a fully wooden board, however, the board you linked to says it is "a veneer Rosewood and Maple Board." The "premium set" for $679 is the one that comes with a fully wooden board. Love your channel ❤
Great detailed breakdown. Good job. 👍🏼
Beautiful set. I would certainly purchase it had I not already have a nice one.
Something novel, take a pawn and hold it at an angle (steady and carefully), and you can get it to balance on its edge when you take your hand away!
Very nice set. I would want it, but too expensive.
Official World chess however is played with a DGT board and DGT sensors in the pieces. I can't find anything on the side referring to that
Thanks for the informative review! When I first saw this set, I wasn't sure if I liked the knight. As I watched your review, the knight and the rest of the set grew on me until it became the first set of that much money that I'd consider buying. I really like its elegantly practical design. The knight's head has just enough detail, and the simple neck leading into the body makes for a stunning contrast to the ornate knights we expect to see in a high quality set. The eight indents in the king's crown nicely represent the bands of the imperial closed crown, and the indents complement the eight points of the queen's open crown. I like everything about the set. It looks great on the matching board.
Nice video. I'm thinking about buying this but I feel its a bit too expensive for me to buy right now. Do you know if they have discounts on this set sometimes?
Thanks for the review.
How does this compare to the DGT Deluxe Chess Set (Judit Polgar)? I reckon both are quality sets worthy of consideration🎉
Do you think you can make a video for people interested in buying their first quality chess set? Doesn’t matter who the seller is, but it’d be cool to watch a video on different bundle deals for example, and listen to your take on them. Maybe some tips to save money, recommendations and advice for clocks(digital and analog), recommended dimensions, etc. (houseofstaunton has a summer sale going on: 20% off orders over $250 I believe).
Nice video by the way. I’ve been watching your content for the past few weeks now and I’m a fan. Keep up the great work!
Everything is beautiful with this design except the knight, I tried to like it but I can't lie to myself. Actually, I prefer the plastic version of the knight. Thanks for the great review, as always!
You're not alone, lots of people expressed concern with the knight. It's a weird look. Deliberate tho.
I hope you can review the Ultimate Chess Pieces V3 in your next videos
The King size on both is shorter than on many sets. 3.75 and 3.5 inches (9cm) and the other about 8.4cm. Many sets have kings that are much taller which I find awkward. The lower height is more in keeping with the other pieces and less likely to topple. Also bigger pieces do not fit the very common 2 inch (50mm) squares on flexible boards. So I like both of these sets a lot more than most! Nice review.
Nice!! Muy bonito😊
This has been my bucket list chess set too for a while. I am looking to get this set with the Chessnut Pro Board and put the inserts into them. Do you know if the weights in this set would make it a problem to do? Just wondering if there is room for the insert. Thanks. Enjoy the videos.
Hey. Where did you get this Nice Chess set? I whant to get my self one as well. Best regards from Sweden.
Amazing
What is the next best alternative to this set in terms of design and weight? Btw looks like the crown of the queen is thinner than usual from the same set.
Looking for chess clock that constantly displays moves played-ex..#41 moves so far-at a glance without touching clock-no board connection-any suggestions???
What is the board square size? I have heard that the recommended square size for the championship set is 2.25".
Do you know other plastic sets with minimalist design just like this especially with the knights? Thank you
Hi! I'm doubting very hard to choose between this FIDE championship chess set and dr Paulsen 1852 of House of Staunton. Which one you like the most? I have no other choice than buying blindly. I just can relay on the internet picture. Just a short answer will be enough for me. Paulsen set or FIDE set?
Those Boards are Fide approved but they are not the boards used in championship matches. The boards used in all major tournaments are The DGT Electronic Chessboard with USB connections. They are around $1000-1500 per unit. So if your going to spend 600 on the board in this video save your money and then buy the DGT board when you have a thousand or more to splurge. You can get cheaper versions Im sure but it wouldn't be what most fanatics would want. ChessHouse has the boards everyone wants
Canadian dollars this is around nine hundred dollars.
Looks amazing. Just shy of a thousand dollars for a set though wow that’s a set to save for!!
Hi, I hope you are well, I would like it if you could do a big favor to those who are contributing to the kickstarter of the chessnut evo, and that is to know how easy it is to open the version you have to replace the battery, it would be great to know that, to know whether to buy the first batch or the next one.
Nice chess set But I prefer Dubrovnik...
Same
The link you gave shows a high gloss board,yours is satin.
At the link if you click in the 3 bars at top right it takes you to multiple sets.
Can you be more specific,as to which set you have please.
How tall is the king in your set? Thanks.
Wish I saw this video a month ago when I was looking for a set without a cross.
Nice...But I'm not sure about the knights.
2:34 "Magnus and all the other ones"
FIDE should alter the game and introduce a new piece called the Magnus, which is like a queen but can make two moves in one turn.
Been looking for a good chess set, but I honestly don't like the indications for white and black side of the board. Any novice player could tell you that the white square starts on the right. Then the queens go on their colors. It almost feels like a scratch mark to me.
I prefer the Romanian/Hungarian set over the FIDE World Championship set. I know Hikaru hates the World Championship set. I like the Knights from the plastic version more than the wooden version.
Yes the plastic ones aren't great but they're not offensively ugly
Would like the collars to be more rounded,, clear, with an embedded led
Were to get the plastic ones
very cool
Thank you!
Why did they not write the notation on the sides of the board? It would have made this board complete. You can’t go wrong with recording with a guide. I understand that this is an exact replica but they should have allowed the option to have the notation written on the sides like the portable tournament roll up boards.
i want this set so badly but i cant
👍😊
There’s always a approved version
Too bad the size of the plastic is not the same as the used in the official match. Their pricing is very predatory.
Nice I have similar
That's great! Congrats!
@@AlSuChess thanks
Not bad, but the Marshall design is and always will be the best. They got it right in 1900.
Expensive, simplistic and with an ugly minimalist knight. A good way to maximize profit and the licensing fee.
I've watched several of your videos, I just wanted to say I wish I had gotten in on your giveaway.
Guess I will subscribe now and pray you do another giveaway,
A life lesson,
Like and subscribe.
It can't hurt,
Thanks for the videos
It's an interesting but (IMO) flawed set. The Knight *is* ugly with a capital U compared to the rest of the pieces.
Jump to 6:30 if you want to see a chess set.
Is this available in indiaaa
They are made in India
are the black pieces true ebony, or ebonized
I think the description of the product just indicates boxwood, and given the weight of the pieces is so similar I would guess boxwood. But the way the dark pieces are processed I had to look up myself, because you can't really tell for sure, on video or in real life!
@@AlSuChess Do you know if "ebonized" just means it was stained black? Or is there more to the ebonizing process?
The design is a minor variation on existing pieces, with a pig-ugly new knight added which has nothing to do with the rest of the set. The job was given to a firm of architects, so I guess nothing better could be expected.
Any decent copy of an original Jaques set would have been superior in all ways.
♟
You're off the frame. You must always watch the head room. Nice review by the way.
Thanks!
Hii bro I am from India and I am very poor I want to pursue chess further but I don't even have a chess board can you please give one to me anyway love your vids
Definitively Not buying for 600 dollars
What’s to be impressed about? It’s just Staunton with weird knights. Bring back the beautiful Chavet of the 90’s and stop reinventing the design. It ain’t broke, stop fixing it, they’re just making it weird. What’s next, king with a trump bible instead of cross??
Genderless knight(for LGBTQ crowd) & a non-cross king (so Muslims can play against you).
Its a matter of taste of course but I find that knight super ugly 😅
Can you do a video describing HOW STAUNTON CLSSIFICATIONS FOR EXAMPLE STAUNTON SET #5. VERSUS STAUNTON SET OR PIECES #6…ETC
LOUIS OTTAWA CANADA. AUG 16-2023
Yeah nope. lol. If I’m gonna spend 600 dollars I’ll get the evo. Way way more bang for your dollar.
That knight looks like jar jar binks...and that ain't good.
lets be honest, the knight is the worst.
Talk about ugly, this set has it in spades.
And why so expensive?
Too much talk. DO it!
SHUT
Over five minutes to actually open a box! 😮
Please take this critical feedback. Write a script. I skipped through 95% of the video
SHUT UP
True guys so slow 😂😂
Knights such ugly design
