    Very Pleased With Set

    Posted by David on 7th Mar 2025

    I was looking for a library-sized chess set and decided on this Lardy set, paired with the Walnut Burl & Bird's-Eye Maple 1.75” board. I’m really pleased with my choice—this combination has quickly become one of my favorites for both playing and practicing. The quality of both the pieces and the board exceeded my expectations. The set is beautifully crafted and has a timeless, elegant look.

    The quality and workmanship are second to none. Affordable pricing will have me ordering more, different sets...and each set can be used with different boards available at The Chess Store. Great value for the price...look for more orders from me.
