The Bobby Fischer Ultimate Chess Pieces

50+$ is not cheap, but this will last decades if not centuries.
works best with a wooden board (5cm below), these soft mates are ok, but they do not glide with the felt-feet.

strong recommendation for the set.

I bought this set as part of the Chess House flex pad bundle. These pieces really stand out compared to similarly priced competitor sets. My buddies at the chess club also enjoyed playing with them, particularly under faster time controls as these are a joy to move around on any board with the sturdy plastic exterior and weighted interior. Everything was carefully packed, each piece, including the bishops and knights, were as they should be.

I give extra points for the care the Chess House team took to ensure everything was delivered to an overseas customer like me (in Europe, Finland).

Best feeling all rounder pieces you can get for the money.
My overall impression now that I have played this set daily for the past week is:
the pieces look excellent together in a balanced way. One has to play the massive pawns to understand them, as well as the knight. The shape of the bishop is more bulbous echoing the large spheres of the pawns. There is a nice balance. The pieces feel really good in play, very natural. Excellent outdoor set as well as a travel set (heavy but substantial) as the plastic used feels very robust. I would expect it to look about the same in a decade. I like the history of Bobby Fischer as well and approve of this set!
Looks equally amazing on all my boards/mats but really gravitates towards the green and natural old school vinyl. Hard to beat weight and feel for the price.

I am very satisfied with the chess set that has come to me. But I highlight above all, the customer service and collaboration that I received from you, when I had a problem with the local mail here in Colombia. Additionally, I found a small problem with the black horse, which was resolved immediately and satisfactorily.

Before I review the set I would like to mention the great service and communication that I received . These people care about their customers and I would definitely advise those earlier reviewers who have received faulty pieces such as the dark imperfections on the whites to request an exchange of the specific affected items. I feel sure that the company would replace them.
Now to the actual set. What’s not to like, okay some don’t like plastic in the first place whereas I actually prefer it to play with. I also keep this set out on the table most of the time and find it pleasing to look at. I’m not qualified to evaluate the quality of the plastic except to say that it feels very dense and durable.
With regard to the weight of the pieces, the weight is spot on for me. They feel good to move( I’m a lifter, not a slider ) perhaps because I often use one of my many silicone mats. My go to board is the folding vinyl one however.
The Staunton design which is a variation of the theme is designed for Blitz insofar as the pawns in particular are bulbous as are the Bishops which facilitates rapid handling when engaged in the frenzy of beating the flag.
Overall, I like the design but would have liked to see the substantial roundness of the Bishops design also carried over to the King and Queen whilst still obviously retaining their relevant height. Perhaps this would be too much to ask and difficult to create.
The quality of the moulding is very good. The seams are hardly noticeable and the product is well finished.
In conclusion I highly recommend this set both to the serious adult players and to their young prodigies who can drop the pieces all day long onto a vinyl or Silicone board without ill effect.
In conclusion, I highly recommend this set.
