Hi! I thought about posting this chess set in case someone was interested



The chess set is made in México, it is triple weighted and made out of ABS plastic.

The overall weight is 1.405kg - 3.098lb (including extra Queens)

Individual measurements are as follows

 


King

Size 9.5cm / 3.75"  

Weight 65g - 2.3oz

Base 4.5cm / 1.77"

Queen

Size 8cm / 3.15"  

Weight 58g - 2.0oz

Base 4.0cm / 1.57"


Bishop

Size 7.5cm / 2.95" 

Weight 43g - 1.5oz

Base 3.5cm / 1.38"


Knight

Size 6.5cm / 2.56"       

Weight 52g -1.8oz

Base 3.5cm / 1.38"


Rook

Size 6.0cm / 2.36"         

Weight 48g - 1.7oz

Base 3.5cm / 1.38"


Pawn

Size 5.75cm / 2.26"    

Weight 30g - 1.10oz

Base 3.0cm / 1.18"


All pieces are bottom felted and the seems although noticeable are very discreet.

 

The colors are almost matte (black/beige) and there's no rattle at all 

 

Overall I am very pleased with the set and I hope to enjoy it for many years to come.

Not bad what is the price, is there an URL?

Hi polar chess, it was around 33 Canadian dollars for the pieces.

That's where I got them but i did ask for the extra queens before making the purchase.

Hey, isn't that a Bobby Fischer Cavalier Knight?

Very nice set!  Clicking through the link gives a web page with a price of $550.00!  What kind of dollars is that?! tongue.png

Haha, those are Mexican pesos which right now would be like 26 US dollars

I tried processing but cart was zeroed out. The Omcor clock has been in the US market so maybe it’s sold here.. so not able to get shipped .

I like the looks of their library sized Leningrad/Zagreb plastic set. It looks kinda cute.

I do like the looks of their Zagreb set and did ask them if they were planning to make a bigger weighted version but they say not anytime soon. Either way I think I'm gonna end up buying the set as it is super budget friendly.

The shipping from Mexico 68 usd with set 100 usd plus involved wire transfer.
Like the set wished the owner well. I wish mail Mexico was an option and paypal.

Ouch.  They really should find a US distributor - I probably would have bought one already.

Wow that's just to much, i hope the shipping between the two countries wasn't  that expensive as I would love to own one of those indian king chess sets that I've seen around this forums. 

As for mexican mail it is not an option as they are not reliable and are famous for "misplacing" packages, I'm guessing that's the reason they try the FedEx/DHL route
