Zeus High Polymer Heavy Weighted Chess Pieces with 3.75 Inch King and Extra Queens, Pieces Only, No Board

First of all, these high polymer chess sets seem to be nearly indestructible and are very well weighted for good stability during high speed (5 minute blitz) chess. This is the first high polymer set I have found that have 3 3/4" kings instead of the bigger 4 1/4" kings which require a larger chess board with 2 3/8" squares. This set needs a standard size chess board with 2 1/4" squares. The pieces look amazingly like marble and could be used with a marble chess board, but are not easy to break like marble pieces. The set will match with a roll-up vinyl or mouse-pad style chess board with solid green and buff color squares. The best color match I have found on Amazon is with the WE Games Green Mousepad Chessboard (a thin mousepad board which can be rolled up and stored or carried in a standard size mailing tube) which has a bright green color (not the typical forest green which has more blue in it).

Unless you want to invest 2 or 3 hundred dollars in chess pieces this is a real pretty set. They look great in the Amazon write up but, when you get them they look even better. Can you tell they are not made of marble - sure you can - but not at first glance. And they have their own rich luster about them that real marble pieces probably don't have.I combined the set with one of those green vinyl boards - very nice.

Bought for my son, he loved them…very good value and so attractive.

Bought these last year to pair with a chess board I made for my son as a Christmas gift. He loves the pieces and the oddity of the colors. The pieces are smooth and well polished. I find them a bit on the light end, so would not consider them high end pieces.

I used these for a team event where we gave everyone a piece to let them know they are a key piece to the success of our team. I was looking for a quality chess set that had quality pieces. This set met my needs and arrived in a timely manner. Five stars

I was very disappointed with this set of chess pieces. It says they are weighted but they are not and the resin feels like plastic. You can see the mold line and not finished to look clean and professional for a display setIt is a lot of money for this not worth the money I thought I would receive for the product.I would look elsewhere and if you wanted good weight for the pieces I’d buy metal or a carved stone for the amount you pay for this product.

Beautiful pieces. I’m very happy with the purchase. Pieces are huge though. A large board is needed for sure .

These chess pieces are more beautiful in real life than the picture on line very elegant looking
