I am so glad that I purchased this beautiful Herman Ohme chess piece set. The workmanship is excellent and I received the product in a few days. I would highly recommend Chessnboards to anyone interested in a high-quality chess set.
They sent the pieces first with a hand written note that the board was held up in customs. I really appreciate the personal touch. Finally received the board today. Really beautiful. Everything is very well finished. This set is probably the best done in modernist design—both beautiful and still very playable.
One of the best minimalist style chess pieces that I came across. Combined these with borderless walnut board for my collection
Thank you, Mike!
I was really worried that the pieces are gonna be too light and/or uncomfortable to hold and I am released to say I was wrong. You can feel the weight of each piece and it is very satisfying to place them on the board, which is a work of art on its own.I also didn’t expect the board and the pieces to be that big. On of the photos you can see me holding one of the queens, it’s a very big piece. The board is quite heavy and has the same green fabric that all the pieces have. It feels very smooth and you can see and feel how well crafter it all is.The package doesn’t include any bags for the set, so if you want to keep it dust-free, make sure to get those separatelyAll in all, very satisfied with the purchase, a chess set for generations
this is really great quality, solid, sturdy chess pieces. built the way it should be.
