This chess set has received the Mom's Choice Award, Best Homeschooling Curriculum and Resources Award, and STEM.org authentication as an educational product. The folding illustrated chess board measures 19.75 x 15.75 inches with 1.75-inch squares, showing proper piece setup and movement rules. It includes 34 regulation Staunton-style plastic chess pieces approved by USCF and FIDE for tournament play, with a 3.75-inch king and two additional queens.
The included "Learn to Play Chess" instruction book covers basic rules, special moves like Castling and En Passant, strategic tips from chess masters, and historical context. For varied gameplay, the set comes with equalizer dice to balance matches between players of different skill levels by introducing random elements.
Things to Keep in MindA common complaint involves receiving sets with missing, incorrect, or damaged pieces straight out of the box, and in some instances, the packaging or game board itself arrived damaged. Why You'll Like ItThe set is widely noted as an effective learning tool for beginners, praised for its quality and design, and particularly for the integrated 'cheatsheet' on the board that clearly illustrates piece movements, making it easy to pick up the game.
