20 Years Later

First bought 20 of these sets from Chessworld nearly 20 years ago for a school I worked at. When I left this school 8 years ago, all 20 sets were still going strong despite 12 years of regular use. Now retired, I have bought this set for my 5 year old granddaughter. Pleasant surprise is that the chess set costs much the same as it did 20 years ago. Great value and very appealing to children.

16" Marble Fossil Chess Set in Velour Case
-Jannette Parfitt

Wonderful Chess Set

This Chess set was everything I hoped for. The board lays out perfectly flat (the photos online don’t do it justice) and the pieces have a lovely weighted feel to them. Ridiculously good value. Quick delivery, arrived the next day. Very satisfied.

Tournament chess sets

We have used these roll up boards and chess pieces in school for many years, and have just ordered more to meet the growing demand for chess. These sets are well-priced, easy to store and perfect for school tournament use as well as for casual games.

Double Weighted Pieces & Silicone Roll up Board
-Omid

Excellent chess set

If you play chess competitively this is a great set to have. The double-weighted pieces feel good & are more sturdy - particularly for blitz games. The silicone board easily rolls up for transport or storage & then unfolds completely flat.

Beautiful set

The photo's on the site do not do justice to this set. It's simply beautiful. Solid pieces with good detail, very good board both practically and visually and really makes you want to play the game. The extra Queen is a great idea. No more using taken pieces or token objects to represent a new Queen = better game experience. Delivery was so slick and professional. Thank you Chess World. Really appreciate the product and service.

Sapphire Sky Classic Alabaster Chess Set

I am an avid collector of chess sets, and I have purchased many from countries all over the world. My latest purchase from Chess World is one of my favorites. I have it prominently displayed, and I have received many positive comments. I have purchased many other pieces from Chess World, and I must say that their products are more than I expected, and delivery of the sets is first class, I would recommend Chess World to all collectors and those who love and play the game.

                How to Choose a Chess Set

                We've used our many years of experience as Australia's Premier Chess Shop (since 1997) at Chess World to put together the most common questions and answers regarding choosing the best Chess Set for your needs.

                The first step in choosing a Chess Set is to ask yourself the following question, “what do you want from it?”.

                Whether your answer is to have a nice set for home, a compact set for travel, a set to use at School, a set you can play online or a set as a special gift, we have a range of chess sets to suit your budget, requirements and personal preferences.
