Having already purchased a set of the chess pieces I am requesting, I can attest to the fact that they are substantial, large, durable and they add enjoyment to the game. The vinyl roll-up boards are portable and allow us to play our tournaments in different locations with ease. Both the boards and pieces are far superior to the brittle plastic pieces and cardboard sets I started the club with, and they are the standard for chess clubs throughout the country. The difference between them and inferior sets is night an day.
The chess timers are an integral component of the club. A timed game demands that a player knows various openings and responses to their opponent's moves. The timer forces students to play more games and develop a greater appreciation for studying openings, strategies, and tactics.
