   Very happy with the product quality. It really feels like a high-end hand-carved chess set. Especially the Queen. The pieces are fancy, but easily readable when playing. And the size is perfect for home playing. Absolutely worth its price. The wood type could be better (olive tree or walnut are my favorites), but that would impact the price.

   This Chess Set is amazing.
   I have searching near and far. Everywhere that I could think of. There are very few decent sets out there.
   This Set is GREAT!!
   My 7yr old Grandson just learned to play chess and loves to play it with Grandpa. So I surprised them both.
   Pieces are big enough.
   The board is nice and big.
   The boards contrast is nice to see both colors.
   The pieces stay in place when folding in half
   Great all around
   Haven’t found anything negative.
   Well worth the money!!
   

3. Chess Set Review Verified Buyer – 12 June 2024

   You will see multiple listings often going around $60 which is more than a fair price, just make sure to avoid sellers trying to mark it up to $120 by calling it premium. The Ambassador set is very well made and you can see the work that has gone into each carved piece. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play with anyone in person yet but playing around with the board and the pieces I like the size though I did underestimate just how large the set is in person. The downsides would have to include the fact that you could still smell the stain used when you first open the set up but after sitting for awhile that dissipates. The pieces are relatively light so for some that may be a huge deal as they prefer a nice weighted set. While I wouldn’t mind them being a bit heftier they are not liable to fall over due to their size and the bases on each of the pieces being nice and wide. Overall even as massive as the board is the set is surprisingly light all packed up and folded and I believe that was intentional to make it easier to bring with you. I like that it folds so that it is easier to store but it is so large I wouldn’t recommend using this as an on the go set. It would serve much better as a center piece with its highly decorated pieces or folded up and packed away just waiting for your next game if you dont have the space to display it. Overall I am very happy with it and cannot wait for current events to improve so that I can actually get together and play with others in person. Until then I’ll just keep admiring the chessmen and board.

   I love the hand crafted detail on the all the pieces. The chess board is big when unfolded and square is 2″, just perfect for me. The only thing I complain is the pieces is not weighted. They are too light weight. Other than that I am happy.

   There are some other sellers on boardgamesweekly.com sell the re-brand for double the price. Make sure they made by Wegiel from Poland. I almost brought the one by Jarilo set for $169.

   This set is even nicer than I expected. I bought it to teach my daughter to play, and she loves it. The pieces and board are a really nice size, with details making it for more interesting to play on then a generic chess set. The insert for holding the pieces isn’t the greatest, but that’s not what you’re buying the set for. You can smell the finish upon opening this set up, but it does dissipate after a while. Highly recommend this set.

   This definitely a fine chess set. I got the 20 inch board. Just wish it came with 2 extra queens

   My 12 yr old son is getting into chess — just started a chess club in his middle school — and I wanted a nicer set that would make games a little more special. I know lot’s of people play on-line now, but we’re so sick of on-line everything! This set is good in that regard and was a good Xmas present. Check! A big, solid wood board with solid, wooden pieces. One thing that would’ve been even nicer would’ve been weighted pieces, but it’s still a nice chess set. What I’ve learned since the purchase is that, in the finest sets, a lot of it is about how nice the knights are. Well these knights are fine for us. Now I need to get better to keep up with my son!
