Review on White & Green Onyx 15" Staunton/Ambassador Chess Set - Handmade Marble Weighted Board Game For Adults by Paul Giordano

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great Playable Decor Set

Great decor chess set. Not too big, but very playable. Package arrived well packed with no damage. The board is heavy and the weight of the pieces feel good when playing. For the money, I do wish some of the pieces were a little more detailed. The bishops and the pawns are easily mistaken for each other in games. The queens are very similar to the rooks but are big enough not to confuse them. I will probably use a paint pen to mark tops of some pieces to help with playability. I do wish the set came with extra queens but I knew that before I bought. Very happy overall. Great playable chess set that looks great to leave out all the time.

Pros
  • The timeless design of the Staunton and Ambassador pieces make this set a classic and sophisticated addition to any home décor
Cons
  • Might not be suitable for highly competitive gameplay compared to other professional sets
