Think more...think harder...think longer.

by ltrain ltrain is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Kids & Family, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 01 '00
Pros: Nice looking, comfortable for the hand.
Cons: Pieces break if you drop them.
I view this set from a couple of standpoints. I see it from the standpoint of a chess player and rate it on it's durability. Also, from the standpoint of an observer I want to speak on appearance. I don't want to review the game of chess itself...

An Elegant Battle

by PaySo , Apr 23 '00
Pros: Beautiful, Worthy of Display
Cons: Breakable if not careful, Shows every speck of dust
This was my "BIG" gift at Christmas 1998 from my wife. I don't know what possessed her to buy it for me (wink-wink).

We were out shopping for a "Good" Chess set for our son, Ricky and wound up at Toys-R-Us. I wanted to...

Beautiful but Fragile

by hhire , Jul 30 '00
Pros: Elegant and inexpensive
Cons: Fragile
This glass chess set was a favorite at the game store I worked at because it was elegant without being expensive. For people who love chess, they know that a specialty chess set can range anywhere from $75-$300. This chess set is very nice because it...

Glass can make a difference.

by nixonsystem , Oct 17 '06
Pros: The pieces are nice looking and very neat, giving you a sense of class.
Cons: Fragile, and less durable.
After playing chess for so many years I’ve come to realize that it doesn’t take the best chess set to have fun with chess. I bought this very same chess set over and over for years. Every time it was damaged or the pieces were lost it was ...

Shining like ice - chess

by soulveil , Jun 11 '00
Pros: It really catches the light, perfect centerpiece for any room
Cons: Easily breakable, very sharp edges.
I bought this at a Service Merchandise years ago. I had a cheap plastic set and wanted something nice, but marble was too expensive and I didn't like the gaudy characters sets.

I had learned to play chess about a year earlier and wanted a...

What a deal!

by Jim22 , May 01 '01
Pros: Excellent look for the price, nice weight, good size
Cons: Alternating squares of the board too close in color
This board caught my attention as soon as I saw it on the shelf. Be warned however! The picture on the box makes the actual playing surface look different then it is. I assumed that by the picture, the frosted squares were much more clearly...

Pawn Takes Rook 7

by Absinthe , Dec 21 '00
Pros: beautiful board
Cons: pieces are fragile
Oh for the love of the game. This is a wonderful, beautiful board to play away your passions of chess on. Oh the long hours spent at my house with my father going over and over the right moves to make to prepare me for a school chess tournament. But...

Quality Chess

by Grruel , Dec 20 '00
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Rather plain
With the holiday season coming up I am reminded of past purchases I have made. Last year I bought my daughter Kimberly one of these Glass Chess Sets. I know what you are thinking, the chess set is rather plain and inexpensive for someone like me but I...

Finally, Glass and Chess together!

by Hubbleson , Jan 28 '00
Pros: Made of glass :)
Cons: Made of glass :(
Do you enjoy playing chess but are tired of the boring old wooden and plastic chess sets? Then the Glass Chess Set will cure what ails ya! Actually it probably won't cure you of anything except having healthy skin WITHOUT large bloody gashes. While the...
