Handmade Chess Set European Ambassador with 21" Board and Hand Carved Chess Pieces

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

Got it for my grandad and he loved it!

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.

I’ve always played on those tiny glass boards so to have a nice wooden set that’s much larger is so fun. My bf wanted to learn how to play and have a set at our cabin but he only wanted something that looked natural and was very turned off by the normal smaller sets so this really worked out. The pieces are beautiful and I couldn’t be happier. Will probably eventually get another set for at home

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.

Was alot nicer than expected. High quality and an overall pleasure

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 Amazon 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 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 halfGreat all aroundHaven't found anything negative.Well worth the money!!
