## Description

Wegiel Handmade European Ambassador Chess Set - Wooden 21 Inch Beech & Birch Board With Felt Base - Carved Hornbeam & Sycamore Wood Chess Pieces - Compartment Inside The Board To Store Each Piece Great Gift For The Holidays

Review: Outstanding wooden chess set - I bought this set nearly 6 years ago, so I could teach my 4 year old daughter how to play chess. Since then, she's not only learned how to play, but her little sister was born and is now learning chess to. I mention this not to brag (well, maybe a little, clever kids! haha) but to emphasize that despite this set now having been used by myself and a couple of rambunctious kids for years now, it's held up terrifically. The board and pieces are all well-made, the board can be easily folded up with the pieces inside to put it away, and the nice, big, wooden board and hand-carved pieces make a nice table-top decoration if you prefer to leave the board out on the table for long stretches of time (which we often do, because it's easier to convince the kids to play a few moves before arguing for screen time when the game is out in the open, ready for a match). The price has gone up a notable amount since my original purchase, but as long as the quality is still as good as the one I got, I'd say it's still worth it.
Review: Timeless work of art at an affordable price. - Beautiful piece. Has a rustic wood smell to it too that adds to the magic. It’s actually quite a unique board. The large pieces make playing very enjoyable and I’m quite impressed with the craftsman ship. Worth every penny. I leave mine out and use it to study moves, replicate move for move online games and overall it’s a nice piece to look at everyday. Highly recommend you get yourself one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have storage?**
A: Yes they have storage intersection inside.every chessmen has separete spaceThank you Walter

**Q: I need a replacement piece (pawn) can I purchase one please?**
A: We also need a replacement piece (white rook/castle. Have you found any information as to securing a new piece? Thanks for your help!

**Q: Many complaints about the weight of the pieces. Can holes be drilled to insert screws for weight?**
A: I'm debating on this item, but I do have a thought on the weight...What if you were to carefully take off the felt and add a matching size magnet w/glue and then replace the felt?  Just a thought. Not sure if the size matters, lol, but maybe that would be easier to add weight vs. drilling any holes and risking cracking the wood...Great reviews so far, thanks people!!

**Q: are these piceces wighted ??**
A: They are solid wood, and do have some decent heft to them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!!! TOP QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP WORK OF ART at BARGAIN PRICE!!!
*by E***1 on June 30, 2024*

Arrived in perfect condition and shipped/arrived on time (2 day). I chose the Ambassador 21" over the Imperator 21" because i like the pawn style better on the Ambassador, and i don't really care about whether the pieces are weighted or not. It's very easy to drill a small hole in bottom (right through the felt) and glue in a small lead cylinder flush with the wood if you want to weight them. Very playable and stable enough for anything except speed chess. My son and i opened it outside, in full sun, because SOME reviews complained about a "strong varnish smell", and i have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, but THERE WAS NO STRONG SMELL, just a BEAUTIFUL well crafted chess set, A WORK OF ART!!! I have NEVER enjoyed a game of chess so much in all my life, it's like playing chess on the Mona Lisa, or something, such a beautiful board and pieces, will be treasured, much used, much loved, and handed down to my grandson!
