The House of Staunton28" Slotted-Style Vinyl Demo Chess Set with Deluxe Carrying Bag

Its a Perfect tool 👌🏼. There is a smell permeating from it, I believe this to be temporary? Overall, much better than expected and I wish every classroom that teaches Chess had one. Very well Crafted, Nobody beats House Of Staunton! Highly Recommend!

This is great to use when teaching a chess class. Large and easy to see. Shipped quickly and arrived before expected. Thank you!

I am really pleased with the quality and price of this chess teaching board. The slotted board itself is about 25 x 25-inches overall with 2.75-inch green and white squares. It is stitched around the outside of the board and also with additional 3 vertical stitching. It has a wooden dowel on top and bottom with a rope strung through the top rod to hang it up.The pieces are black and maroon/burgundy plastic and average about 2.5-inches high (not including the 1.75-inch base that slides into the slot). They are cut in the shape of each chess piece and have plain faces (i.e. no image on the faces).The black carrying bag really completes this teaching set and I believe it is a big selling point. The bag is 32-inches long and 3-inches in diameter with an adjustable handle strap.

I previously purchased a different one that has rectangular plastic with the images imprinted, which seems nicer than this set. This set will have pieces that have a kind of tail that fits in the pockets, but over time, this may wear and be awkward. The rectangular tiles seem to come with two extra queens and six-star symbols. If I had two of the other I would be more happy with having replacement pieces just in case.

September 2023: 28 inch slotted style Vinyl Demo Chess Set with carrying case. I read and then watched the Queen of Katwe which is about an amazing Ugandan girl who learned and excelled at chess. I remember one scene when I saw this poster in the background in their chess class in Uganda. I thought, I want one of those for my chess club which I run every Monday afternoon at my school. So I got this one. I love it although I haven't used it much. But the pieces are big, the slots are all there and good and nobody's walked away with a pawn and when students look at it they immediately know that I run the chess club. I hope to put it in a more prominent position in the classroom not to cover up important things. But so far I love it. I think tomorrow I will put the FRENCH DEFENSE up there so I can remember forever.

It is a good set for demos, but it came missing a white bishop

Really nice demo chess set, and comes with a nice carrying case. I am a Merit Badge Counselor for the Boy Scouts of America, and use this to teach the chess Merit Badge class. Perfect for teaching chess and demonstrating chess moves and strategy.

Used this to start a Chess Club at school. Great for demonstrating how pices move and discussion about captures. Kids are eager to get called on the move the pieces. Also worked great for club promotion. There pockets are sewn sturdy and the pieces are tough plastic.
