115312This wooden board has a deep chocolate color, and the chessmen in particular are distinctive and their quality caught our eye immediately. They have been created with care and attention to carved detail usually reserved for bigger and more expensive sets.

Customer Reviews
I received this item as a free sample from WE Games, here is my honest review: The design and cutting on the pieces are very clean and fun to play with. The weighting and felt bottoms make these pieces feel good to move across the board. There is nothing too special about the board, but it gets the job done and is very portable. My favorite part about this item, however, is the scale. The pieces fill up the board nicely but do not feel overly crowded! I have already played two games on this board, and I really enjoyed it!
Recently I received a free sample from WE Games with the intent to give them my honest review. In all honesty, my first look of the set, not to my liking. But once I got a hold of the pieces and began using them with my nephew, I started to really enjoy the weight and feel of the pieces. They are nicely polished and their choice of wood is a good contrast. My only gripe with the set is that I usually mistake the bishop for the queen, but that may be due to my lack of playing the game enough. The chess board on its own is nice and solid yet light enough to carry. Again, their choice of wood colors is great. There isn't any chance of mistaking what colored square you are on. It also comes with a bag to store your pieces in which is a nice touch. At the end of the day this is a great item to give to a beginning chess player or to someone who occasionally plays for fun. It also makes for a great piece to have on display since the finish on the board and pieces are well done.
I just received a free sample from WE Games, and here is my honest review. Great quality and detail on the chess pieces. Chess pieces are on the smaller size, King is only 2.5". The 12" walnut board goes well with the chess pcs.
