Hi, what are the chess pieces made of? and how high/wide they are? for example the tallest and the shortest one. Thank you

Figures range from 2.5-3.5 inch high. I think they are made of plastics with gold and silver paints. Need to wash hands after playing:)

It comes with just one mold, so you make a half of each piece at a time. Then, stick two halves together using melted chocolate to produce a completed chess piece.

I'm afraid I don't recall what the case was made from. What I do remember is that it was the same type of material as a previous game I gave my folks many years ago and it lasted for years until my mom moved after my dad's passing and the game somehow did not make the move. I was also impressed the ivory colored tiles are just as beautifully done as they were 20 years ago. I bought the new game for my mom to replace the old one lost in the move -- she was absolutely ecstatic with it, saying it was just as good as the first one! If you enjoy Mahjong, you won't go wrong purchasing this set -- it's worth a lot more than what you're paying. Joni I'm afraid I don't recall what the case was made from.

only "not so smart" (feel free to replace word in parenthesis with whatever you like as long as it's negative) people's chess sets have 2 extra queens (you can pretend that any piece is the promoted queen) i don't know of a single chess set for adults!!!!! that would include extra pieces (what if you didn't want a queen only a rook would they need to give you extra rooks) CM-ON PEOPLE QUIT WHILE YOUR QUESTIONS DON'T GET OUT IN THE OPEN THE WORLD IS ALREADY LAUGHING @ us!!!!

Check out Etsy. There are a lot of handmade boards out there with squares that can be custom sized to accommodate these larger pieces. I bought one from a seller named "naturalchess" and the board turned out beautiful.

I'm not exactly sure what it's made out of, but when putting it together, the pieces did not feel like solid wood. However, they are well finished and you cannot tell how light it is just by looking at it. It is also finished on all sides, so if you wanted to face it out (like a lectern) you could do that too. The main problem I had was that the holes did not all line up and we had problems getting some of the screws in. I think there was one we never got in, but we do have very heavy books on it now and it's fine.

Our puzzle is still in it's box, as it's going to be a gift, but if you look at the edge of it, there are two layers of wood/wood product. The top layer appears to be all wood, with all wooden puzzle pieces. The backing, which is the same thickness as the top wood layer, appears to be a pressed wood product, probably to keep the puzzle from warping over time. Hope that helps.

Best guess is 2x2 pretty close to a standard size game board.. the pieces are a little crowded on the board but the details are incredible.. very heavy

Yes they are but not really heavy wood pieces....height as described and a half decent set for the price but, as I mentioned in my review, the squares are not 2" as described (11/2)....the wood in the board does not appear to have any stain or protective covering such as varnish; a little rough to the touch but, for the price, I was not expecting anything too "rich" in the wood...hope this helps.Sandra

I bought this set for my 44 yr old son, so I asked him your question. Hus recomendation was to return the chess set.He said this was definately not the norm. It should be perfectly square.

It comes in a nice sized box - the length of the longest board. It's all in pieces, and took 2 or 3 hours to put together. We have had ours for two years, and it is high-quality. Gets lots of use! - I believe there was a picture on the box.

I am not exactly sure "how thick" the pieces are ...but I can say they are what I would consider nice/heavy-duty pieces. I bought this for my in-laws and it covers an average size card table. I loved the quality of this puzzle. You won't be disappointed. It is well worth the money!

The chess pieces vary in sizes but are around 3 inches tall and some are made of wood.

I have the Ambassador Board and the King weighs 1.18 ounces, the Knight 1.12 ounces and the Pawn 0.48 ounces. I do not have a Counsul set to compare. I have purchased 3 Ambassador sets and extra chessmen and have been pleased.

Each square is slightly more than a inch. The chess board is ~9 inches by ~9 inches
