Customer Review

This review is from: Albatros 947 - Tournament Chess Staunton 6, 55 x 55 cm (toys)
for sophisticated club player only conditionally recommended. Why?

1. The letters, numbers and bright fields are printed. With frequent use, it is possible that the paint is damaged by scratches. Then the mahagoniefarbene wood veneer looks through.

2. The two hinges are fastened with short and thin nails. After häüfigem use the two hinges disengage from the timber. Surely you can strike the nails again. Unfortunately, that does not help permanently.

3. The same applies to the front side and for the two closures.

4. The figures are very simple and certainly attributable to the entry level among the chess pieces. I like these not, but that's a matter of taste.

5. The game of chess takes the title "tournament chess" to complete. That is true, because a field name is present, field size and character size and shape are according to tournament. As an experienced tournament players it would be completely new to me, that such associations. B. use in team fights boxed sets. It may be that there are chess tournaments, where players need to bring the game material. In this case, a suitable chess bag would be a useful extra with compartments for chess, scoresheet and writing instrument.

Maybe my suggestions of a manufacturer or a dealer to be read with good manufacturer contact. In this case I list summarize my suggestions to:

1. Replacement of the nails with screws that are glued to the wood.

2. Replace white fields by maple wood veneer.

3. offer boxed without figures. These optional different sets including different types of wood for the white and black pieces and weighted.

4. Optional chess bag
