Description
We made this set, so that it will last for years and you won’t have to replace it every two years like traditional chess sets. The deluxe set comes with extra queens. A carrying case is included. Shipping weight is 4.14lb! The contrasting king and queen are optional. If you prefer them to be the same color, you can easily swap the crowns yourself – they’re not glued, just tight fitted.
The last image shows the color variations. The off white pieces look best with a black squared board and yellow with the green squared one. Please watch the set’s complete review on our YouTube channel.
Thomas Gurrera –
Since my review is first, future discount will be appreciated 🙂 You get what you pay for – excellent product!
Lisa Fox –
Thank you for shipping fast – happy.
Rex Thompson –
I totally agree with John – well designed set.
Jimmy T. –
Excellent design – very happy. I own many good sets, but this one beats them all. Thank you for making it.
Dan Stieff –
I wish I had found this set earlier – so much money could have been saved. Bought too many crappy sets before.
Ray Gonzalez –
I am rating 4 stars only because a pawn was missing in the set. Although it was shipped later, you had to count the pieces better. The set is excellent.
Alex McConnen –
I have not seen a better set for playing blitz – the pieces are heavy, the design is perfect, and a carrying case is a big plus. First time I took it to our chess club, I received a lot compliments from everyone. Thank you.
Roma O. –
I like the set, but I don’t like PayPal.
Jorg Huller –
Although shipping to Germany was expensive, it was worth every pfennig – excellent set.
Daniel Sanchez –
On a scale from one to ten, the set is eleven.
Ray Ludwig –
You can buy the best or get the rest. But the rest will not make you happy.
Sean Butler –
The yellow one looks best.
Christopher –
This is a very nice, high-quality set. I’m a collector, and this is no doubt among the best polymeric sets I own. I’m very happy with the purchase.
Alexis D. –
In my opinion, only advanced chess players will appreciate the product because they know the difference between heavy, well-balanced pieces and light, wobbly ones. Amateurs can play with anything.

This is a second set I have just bought as a Christmas gift for my son. I paid a full price for the first set four months ago and, taking the set’s quality into account, I thought I got a good deal. The set is great – heavy and nice looking. The weight design is a big plus. But I can’t believe you offered the 20% sale – what a deal! Can I get a refund for the price difference I paid for the first set? 🙂
alex –
No problem 😃
Henry Richardson –
Thanks for notifying me about the sale. Really appreciate it.
Kim Gnam –
Thank you for making such a wonderful product. A friend of mine showed it to me and I have been waiting for a long time for a sale. I made a Christmas gift for myself.
Billy N. –
What a pleasure to play with this set! Chessforblitz has set a new standard what a chess set should be. Thank you for a prompt shipping.
James Partipilo –
Beautiful pieces and HEAVY which is so nice when playing. The extra queen was the cherry on top.
Ray T. –
Amazing set! This is a perfect example of getting what you paid for. Thanks for shipping fast.
John Timmerman –
What a great premium set at a great sale’s price! We ordered four of them for our club – received the order within a week. Thank you for a free shipping. Very happy 😊
Arthur H. –
Great product! One of a kind weight design plus beautiful pieces.

The Chessforblitz chessmen are superb. They have a very similar “absolute clarity and board presence” that I associate with the 1970s Jaques Staunton design chessmen used by Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky during their historic 1972 World Chess Championship match in Reykjavik, Iceland — with the exceptions that (1) unlike the ebony pieces of the Jaques set, the Chessforblitz chessmen will not crack due to temperature and humidity fluxuations and (2) they are vastly less expensive than the Jaques sets, which have long been out-of-production and have become very expensive “collectibles”. (For anyone who is curious, the very set used by Bobby and Boris for Game 3 — “the ping-pong room game” — is currently held in the collection of the World Chess Hall Of Fame in St Louis, Missouri. Images of it are viewable in cyberspace.) — Robert E. Stoller, attorney at law – retired, Anchorage, Alaska
Shawn Leeson –
The pieces are beautiful and the weight is perfect. Used them at the club for the first time and the pieces received a lot of attention and compliments. I might like a matte version as an option as the glossy is a bit shiny if you are recording the game on the board, but I highly recommend this set to anyone playing any rapid or blitz time control.
Kim Lee –
I was one of the first customers who ordered this set about a year ago. I refrained from reviewing the set giving it time to prove itself. The advantages of the set are not apparent at first , except the nice design and weight. They start to manifest themselves overtime. After a year of active play, pieces being dropped from the table, the set remains as good as new. The material is amazing – it is very dense and it does not get dirty at all. My previous set (Fischer Ultimate) looked like crap in half the time – some of the weights fell off and the queen’s crown pieces broke off. Chessforblitz remained intact – it was built to last. Thank you.
Ray T. –
This set reminds me of another chess set popular in the 90th. Same size of the pieces, but no lead, improved weight system, and better material. The design is gorgeous.
Ali Corcelli –
My review is for potential buyers. I had been considering to order a set for some time – the price was a deterrent. However, after using the Chessforblitz pieces, I now firmly believe the price is a bargain. There are plenty of chess sets on the market offered at higher prices with mediocre quality. Chessforblitz is the opposite – good quality, but underpriced.
Elias Wakim –
It is a case of getting what you pay for. Very happy!
Peter K . –
Finally someone made a decent set. There are too many junk sets on the market.
Robert McNeily –
It’s a known fact that Toyota makes very reliable cars. On the contrary, Fiat makes junky vehicles. Toyota is expensive, Fiat is cheap. The analogy can be applied to chess sets. I prefer Chessforblitz as it will last forever. If you like fixing your Fiat, get Fischer Ultimate.
Sam Gallagher –
Simply the best.
Malcolm –
Anna Linden –
Very nice set with excellent design and workmanship!
Kyle Nelson –
Amazing set! It’s very pleasant to look at and play with.
David Morris –
Why is the best chess set so hard to find? Do you advertise?
Johnny Rodriguez –
This is a fantastic set that’s well worth the price. The pieces are perfectly weighted and feel good in your hand as well as look fabulous.
Paul Jardini –
The quality of these pieces is exceptional. They are heavy and good looking.
Raymond Guller –
A friend of mine and I ordered two sets to get a free shipping. The sets arrived within a week. Excellent service and exceptional quality.
Luis Carrera –
Finally, somebody came up with the idea to make chess pieces last. I have actively used the set for half a year and it still looks new.
Daniel Chavez –
This is the best chess set compared to the other sets that I have bought. Nice looking, good case!
You will love it.
Alina Deng –
The pieces are beautiful and heavy. Shipping was fast.
Tom Guerrero –
Thank you for your help with my lost pawn – much appreciated. Great customer service!
Anna Squarez –
Quality and weight are superb.
Kim Chin –
Indestructible.
Charles Fox –
I don’t think the price is high. I would pay twice as much considering the pieces quality and exceptional design. Many thanks to the designer.
Tim Gnuam –
If you want the best, you have to pay the price.
Tina Boyed –
When I first saw and played this set at my local club, I just fell in love with it 😂
Laurence Hall –
I saw this set at a chess meet up about a year ago. I loved how the pieces looked and felt so much that I went online and spent hours and hours trying to find a comparable set. I purchased what I found.. and was really disappointed because it just wasn’t quite the same. Luckily, a few weeks later, I found out where the set came from and bought one (with double queens). Best decision of my chess life!
Not only are the pieces weighted perfectly, they’re also beautiful and get me so many compliments from novice players to GMs. I have 4 or 5 chess sets, but since buying these, I’ve rarely used or wanted to play on anything else. I HIGHLY recommend them, you won’t be disappointed!
Arthur Gray –
Slightly more expensive, but worth every penny.
David –
Looking forward to playing with this beast of a set! All pieces and pawns are very well designed, have an awesome case, and are the absolute right choice for a quick game in gale-force winds! Order handling was quick – the only improvement would have been an email with a tracking number. Highly recommended!
Martin C. –
This is a second set I ordered. The first one was for me and the second one was a gift. I don’t see a reason why it is not the best seller yet – heavy, excellent quality and design, indestructible.
Kristopher Portuese –
Hi, and thanks for this great chess set. I had found this set advertised on an ad for me on Facebook. After looking through and shopping around, this is by far the best set. Honestly, I have seen chess pieces advertised for thousands of dollars and yet, they still are not as durable as these pieces from Chess for Blitz!
Peter Guerra –
Very nice and well made set. I get lots of compliments from my opponents.
Kenneth Calitri –
The set arrived today. I think it is an amazing set. Btw w cross King seems to measure 3 5/8 rather than 3.5 inches and you don’t even notice it’s smaller than a 3.75 or 4 inch king. I am going to compare it later to 2 chess store plastic sets I like but my initial reaction is this is very likely the best market (Or polymer or resin) set on the market. I have to say not sorry I paid that much for it. Wonderful set. I have texted my buddy about it. I also plan on sending my Facebook chess groups a posting on it
Leon Hues –
Finally the set was on sale as I had been waiting for it for almost four months. Thank you for quick shipping and making such a wonderful set.
Ken C. –
I had a 2.5 hour blitz session with a friend visiting from California. We played with the Chessforblitz set. It is a great set for blitz or tournament set. We enjoyed the tech out of playing blitz with it. My friend was a skeptical initially ‘why do you need another set?’ ‘Is the set too heavy?’ ‘Are the pawns too bulbous for blitz?’ Afterwards ‘It’s a great set!’
Linda C. –
Durability Excellent!
The pieces are beautiful and their quad weight feels powerful. I don’t Blitz, I got them for their clean classic good looks and heavy weight. They’re perfect for anyone who loves to play with beautiful pieces.
Evan K. –
I really dig the chess set. It really stands out.
Joseph Zwijacz –
Durability Best you can buy. Will last a lifetime.
I recently received the ChessforBlitz Deluxe Set in the off-white color option, and I’m thoroughly impressed. The pieces are of exceptional quality–hands down the heaviest I’ve come across, which gives them a premium, solid feel. Unlike many tournament sets where weights tend to loosen over time, these are built to last with no risk of that issue. Shipping was lightning-fast too; it arrived at my door in just a few days. If you’re looking for a top-tier chess set that combines durability, weight, and style, this is it. Highly recommend!
Ken –
Durability The best
This is a great set! Indestructible polymer. Heavy. Stylish. Great for tournament and blitz. Besides the Delran set made 50+ years ago, this has to be the most durable pieces ever. Dropped from a 4 story apartment building onto concrete without a scratch. See the independent video. I used it at a recent team tourney and their were comments galore about how nice the set is. I have it in natural and black. Goin to get one in white and black as well!
Merv –
Definitely a great value at this price. Other players seem to like the set a lot and do notice the heftier weight of the pieces.
Mervyn S. –
Hi, just letting you know that I did bring these pieces to a local chess social event and they were well liked by whoever used these pieces. Everyone did like heavy weight of the pieces (there is only one other chess set that I am aware of that is heavier but it is a far more expensive luxury set) but while talking to the organizer, we realized it would be rather hard for to carry around 50 of these sets of pieces so I guess bulk orders won’t happen often.
I’ve attached a few pictures for context.
Thanks
Tommy H. –
Nice set! It has everything you can expect from a blitz set – hefty pieces and indestructible design .
