U.S. Chess Supreme Triple Weighted Chess Set Combo (Blue)

I am trying to start learning chess and this is my first set. I'm happy with the product overall. Below are couple of things I noticed.(1) The quality of pieces is solid. I read a review saying that the pieces are fragile, but I found they are solidly built and durable. They look beautiful. I love black and white plastic pieces rather than wooden (wooden colored) pieces. I didn't find any damage to pieces.(2) The set contains 34 pieces (32 + 2 extra queens).(3) I got triple-weighted pieces, and found the weight is perfect. The weight is at the bottom part of each piece, which makes pieces stable. Very easy to move. The size is I assume standard for competition. This is not definitely not travel size, but I found the size perfect. Felt pad is attached to the bottom of a piece.(4) The vinyl chess board is BIGGER than I imagined, but I guess this is the standard size for competition. It is 18 inches each side. Each square is 2.25 x 2.25. As described, the vinyl is of good quality. When I unroll and put onto a flat surface, it becomes flat pretty quickly. It's also nice that there are numbers and alphabets on the sides, helpful for a beginner like me.(5) The nylon bag is also big! Of course, the bad can contain the big vinyl chess board and the clock (which is not included). Inside the bag there are three pockets, two for storing black and white pieces, and one for something else (pencil?). There is a strap included, so you can carry the bag on your shoulder.Overall, I am happy with my first chess board!

After browsing through the Chess subreddit for hours, this is the set I landed on. The pieces are heavy, the mat is durable, and it comes with a nice case for travel. It also is at the perfect price point for somebody that wants to get into chess, wants a nice set, but doesn't want to commit to a hand carved set. It packs up quickly and is perfect for a study, dorm room, or a travel set. The bag is about as long as a tennis racket. The actual mat will need to break in slightly - I put heavy books on it and worked the corners until it laid flat after a week or so. Definitely worth the investment for a somebody who wants a nice set but is on a budget.

Nice package for easy travel and storage, and a decent mat. The pieces are well made with little to no moulding seams. The plastic seems very hard, brittle and rigid, but are plenty heavy and sturdy. Other sets I've owned were made of a softer plastic and were more forgiving under abuse, but cost more. The felt on The bottom of the pieces is a nice touch, and are centered very well and seem to be stuck on securely. The outside pouch zipper has a loop like many suit cases have for a padlock, but there isn't anything to lock it to. Maybe for a lanyard or keychain? Seems odd. An excellent starter or home kit for sure.

size, Quality, and weight of the pieces is very nice. we carry cases very nice. Bought this for my grandson. It does not have instructions with it on how to play the game. Also the vinyl board gets creased and needs to be flattened before the pieces will stand up. I wrapped the board around a piece of PVC pipe to hold it shape in the soft sided carry bag

The USCF has really got it down with this set. Great weighted pieces that are of very high quality. The bag is sturdy and contains pockets for just about everything you need (pens, scorebook, chess clock). Everything fits neatly inside of the bag and it's got some heft to it once it's loaded up. I personally take this everywhere I go, just in case there's a game needing to be played. A bonus here is that it smells great, strongly of "new" when opened up.The colors are good and the mat just looks great and feels smooth playing on it. The company did include an extra black pawn, though not a white one, even though it isn't advertised. Maybe I'd like an extra pawn of both varieties, just in case I lose one.UPDATE: The House of Staunton is the greatest! A piece from my set chipped, and they sent me a replacement one in no time. Great sellers with amazing customer service, you won't go wrong with this one.

Great set. Love the pieces and the bag. The board tends to crease in the bag, so get something like this to keep the board in better shape and make set-up a breeze: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FDH12KN?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Las piezas tienen un buen peso, la calidad es muy buena, el tablero es de calidad asi como el estuche, resbalan bien ya que estan acochadas, acabado excelente, se sienten muy bien al levantarlas y arrastrarlas, lo recomiendo si buscas buen peso, tamaño y calidad en general.

Great set. Comes with convenient traveling bag. One zip up compartment for each color set of pieces.Pen slots for recording moves.May can be rolled up and put inside and always unrolls easily without getting damaged or stuck.Absolutely great set, goof for use and gifts.

Excelentes materiales, buen tamaño

As a present to an avid chess playing family

The pieces are great, can't find any fault. They are big and heavy. The rubber mat could be a bit thicker, but it ok. My gripe is that it is pictured with a rectangular bag with interior pockets, and I received a smaller quiver, Bag, a cylindrical tube bag with a zip on one end. A big annoyance since it took quite a while to ship from the US, and then I would have to ship it all the way back for a refund, wasting so much of my time.

By far the best chess set I have came cross especially the vinyl mat and the bag, deducting a star because of the description of "Triple Weighted" Chess piece which is not that heavy as I my older pieces are more heavier & bigger than this however still these are really sturdy with good weight and much better than the cheaper options available in the market. If you can burn some cash than definitely go for this US made chess set.

Excelente ajedrez, excelente calidad
