I have always wanted to learn how to play chess. I love to play games and always looking for a new game to keep things exciting. I thought this would be nice for when my husband and I wanted to play a game separate from game night since it is a two person game. When I saw that I could get a wooden chess game that sounded so much better than some plastic pieces.
When I opened the box and took it out I was very impressed with the quality of the case which is actually the game board which opens in half. On the inside I was at first hit with a over whelming scent of glue which after airing out it went away. Inside there were the two different colors packaged in separate bags.
I took them out and placed each of the 32 pieces in the elastic type slip that hold each piece firmly in place I liked that it was lined with felt material which gave it a rich feeling. I really liked this feature for they are held in place instead of a box where they roll around and could get lost but it is the organization that was very impressive. I really like how each piece is made from wood.
I noticed when I picked one up that it was very smooth and highly polished there weren't any rough edges on any piece. They actually look like they were handed carved with lots of detail on them. The board itself is made from pine wood that measures out to be 15.7" x 15.7" in size for it meets standard regulation making it easy to find a place to store the game.
If I could have change one thing about the board I would have added a handled to carry it with I just think this would have a been a grand feature to have. The game board itself is very smooth and highly polished. I really like that it was made of pine it just adds a neat appeal to the game. I like it too for you can see all the wood grains running though the board which gives it a unique appeal.
I was very surprised by how lightweight the game board is when it is folded back together. It is really nice how it opens like a book to hold all the pieces in place, which are easy to remove when your ready to play. It comes with easy to read and follow instructions to teach me what each piece does in relationship to playing the game and it shows how to set up the board.
Now it just comes down to playing the game and the fun involved in learning how to win and of course to be a good loser. I just want to play for the relaxation and closeness that playing a board game with a friend or love one entail.s It would make a wonderful gift for the chess lovers in your life. I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
