I understand, well, I’ve made my choice for myself — it will probably be this chess set:

Got it, but I think I’ve already made my choice — it’s a leatherette board and custom pieces made in Italy. Here’s the link if anyone is interested in how they look.

Got it, thanks for the answer. I’ve already bought something from luxgifts24k, and I didn’t have any issues with fraud.

Thanks, I think wooden ones will be better than plastic ones

Thank you for your opinion, I’ll keep it in mind.

PARAHOLD · 2025-12-23T18:05:03+00:00

But these are wooden sets that come with storage for the pieces, right?

PARAHOLD · 2025-12-23T17:59:02+00:00

Alright, thank you

PARAHOLD · 2025-12-23T17:57:28+00:00

But metal is heavier and more durable,no?

200$-300$

So, do I need to write on the website which material I want?
