A&A Premium Triple Weighted Staunton Wooden Chess Pieces w/ 2 Extra Queen - King Height 3.75"/9.5cm / 2 Storage Bags

Stunning chess pieces! I bought these specifically because the knight doesn’t look ridiculous but every piece is well crafted. They are not kidding about being triple weighted as each piece is very heavy (in a good way). Overall, I don’t think you will find a better set of pieces at this price point.

My fave chess set. Nothing like the feel of a proper bowwood Staunton set. They’re sturdy and feel great in the hand. Strongly recommended.

These pieces are similar in shape to the official FIDE World Championship set. The difference is that they're not as well crafted as the expensive FIDE pieces, but it's a good representation, though if you require your knights having a mane then this set might not be for you since the back is smooth. The weight of the pieces are nice and each piece is a dull matt look, so it doesn't reflect light. This is a great set for those that are looking for inexpensive chess pieces that have the FIDE vibe.

Beautiful quality and weight. Classic pieces that are perfect for my custom marble chessboard. Even more impressive is the responsive customer service who helped me replace a single piece after our puppy chewed on it…Amazing!

First thing, the only real flaw was a pawn is chipped. but things like this vary order to order. sometimes things arrived damage. there was no damaged packaging. the next might be flaw. is the pieces are a little light weight. especially the pawns. I guess, they're not gone in the wind. & I don't feel like they're at risk of tipping over during play. not a bad choice for an analysis set with that said. The presentation is good. Very nice size pieces if you don't have the space. the design and color are really good in person. in photos the necks of the knights looked pretty thin. like they could easily be snapped off but in person they look fine/ a lot better lol. the chipped pawn doesn't upset me too much it. if it was a king, rook, knight it would be a real problem I think. The pieces are slightly smaller by the dimensions. the height. at most 1/16 inch. and the diameter at most 1/32 inch. meaning the king is 2 15/16 of an inch. and maybe 1.19 in diameter. if that means anything. I paired the pieces up with a 1.5 in square. I think has a really nice feel.

Well made and decorative!

I bought two sets of chess pieces from A&A at the same time, this one and one with a wood storage case (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CB3HVCNB). The pieces are quite uniform between the two sets, as expected, and so meet my intended purpose. I have replacement pieces for every piece when one is inevitably lost or broken. I grew up seeing many games with small pieces such as pawns, a checker, dice, etc. replaced by something close. By buying two identical sets of pieces that will never be a problem. The pieces are quite as nice as expected, and perfect for recreational play. But after reading many reviews I thought I would check the dimensions... Well, the kings were slightly taller than 3 inches, but the base of the king was more like 1.2 inches rather than 1.4 inches. The pawns had bases that were more or less 0.8 inches, with only slight variations, but were only 1.4 inches tall rather than 1.5 inches. Not a big deal, really, unless you are trying to find replacement pieces to match your missing or broken piece later on, or are looking to buy this set to replace a piece in your set. Another thing I noticed was that every single piece had a oval base -- not dramatically oval, but enough to realize these either were not turned on a lathe, or were sanded unevenly. The case which came with this is pasteboard, similar to but much nicer than the cigar boxes I had as a child to store my childhood treasures in. It also has two cloth bags to store the pieces in. This allows for the possibility of missing a piece when putting them away and so losing them. The pieces themselves seem quite well made and I would seriously doubt they would get damaged from rubbing against the other pieces in the bag while stored in the box. The wood case with the other set added twenty dollars to the cost over what I paid for this set, but adds value for me due to the way I use them, so this set will set on a shelf as a spare. Bottom line: it is an elegant set of chess pieces with a good case that will be a pleasure to play with for decades, but could be difficult to replace a piece some ten or twenty years from now.

The pieces are finely crafted and weighted. 3” King perfect size on chessboard.

Çok iyi bir set, fiyatı da Çok iyiydi kalitesine göre. Tavsiye ederim

Magnifique pièces

Tengo varios conjuntos de piezas de ajedrez, 5 de ellos francamente buenos, y ninguno ha bajado su precio de 120 €. Este juego de piezas me ha pasado desapercibido pese a verlo en el catálogo desde hace meses. Las piezas en mano mejoran aún las de las fotos. No sé bien que es "triple ponderación", pero pesan tanto como los de los otros conjuntos. Su diseño es muy elegante y proporcionado. Algo que me ha impresionado son sus siluetas, perfectas y diferentes. Tengo un set de piezas de Dubrovnik (6,5 cm), con el que suelo jugar en el escritorio, y a veces me cuesta distinguir los alfiles de las damas. Las torres son soberbias. Mis piezas preferidas son los caballos. Impresionaban de ser muy simples, pero en el juego ya no lo son. Ilustró mi comentario con fotos. En una de ellas junto piezas del juego que comento: ahí la imagen no es justa, porque el diseño del caballo de Dubrovnik es, para mí inigualable, pero frente a los caballos Staunton. Es un precio increíble para tan buena calidad.

Schöne und mit Metall beschwerte Figuren. Ich behalte sie gerne, brauche aber einen schwarzen Filzstift. Wenige schwarz lackierte Figuren haben Abplatzungen an ihren Kanten. Für mich nicht schlimm. Tipp: Schwarzes Holz wählen oder erst schwarz beizen, dann lackieren. Unten: Filz, super, wenn auch ungleichmäßig aufgeklebt. Leider ist die Aufbewahrungsbox nur aus beklebter Pappe. Von mir gibt es die vollen 5 Sterne. Für ein 50x50mm² Brett perfekt.

Personally I love the feel of wooden pieces, these with a little extra weight feel fantastic and are a perfect fit for a 17" board, highly recommend
