Giant Chess 40cm Giant Chess Outdoor / Indoor Set
I purchased this chess set because I wanted the enjoyment and novelty of playing with large pieces. It was certainly enjoyed by the younger members at our chess club. Instead of sitting around a single square table with a regular chess set, we simply put 4 of these tables together and laid the board out on top of them. I think walking around this table to move the pieces is much better than playing on the ground. The best thing that attracted me to this chess set, is that in my opinion, all of the plastic pieces are correctly shaped and sized in proportion to classic Stoughton pieces as per the FIDE rules, with the exception that the King should be slightly taller. However, this is a really minor unnoticeable issue to the casual observer, given that the king is in correct proportion except that the cross on the top of the King should have been manufactured just a little larger. The Knight also has a nice cheeky grin or smile. If a chess set with larger pieces had this feature, I would have preferred it. The fabric board is quite light and has been stitched together quickly to keep the cost of manufacture down. But once the pieces are in play, I find that this is less of an issue. If you are planning to play the pieces on your own board anyway, this is no longer a problem, and the pieces are ideally suited to chessboard squares about 225 mm to 250 mm square.

Just the right size!
I was surprised by how well this set provided my students with a visualize 'game context' moment. It really made this part of the 'chess lesson' easy!
