Set - I bought this because I was skeptical of the reviews I read. One raved about it and another claimed that the board wrinkled and would not flatten out. Well you can put me on the rave side of the controversy. The pieces are in a plastic I've never seen. It is not like vinyl and not like resin. It has a very nice tactile feel in the hand. The weight is substantial and the size is perfect in my opinion. The king measures 3.75" tall. And it has 2 extra queens included. I was a little skeptical that one review stated that casting seams were non existent. There are some casting seams but I had to examine the pieces with a jewelers loupe to find them. They have been scraped to the point of oblivion. I am very impressed. Part of the body of the pieces is hollow, I shined a strong light through them. The head or finial on most pieces is solid and the bases are solidly weighted. The board is verrry flexible silicone material and any wrinkles or folds shake right out. No folds remaining. I.was very concerned that they would stay in and cause lumps and lines where the folds were. NOPE. The board fits into the case folded in half then in thirds. It's about an exact fit. The case is very nice and sturdy. It has a double zip heavy duty zipper closing at the bottom.there are 2 velvet bags for the pieces that have draw string closures 1 black and 1 white. There is a pocket in the case that is suitable for a notebook or literature. My old plastic chess set is more than 50 years old and very "chinky" plastic. This is light years from that one. After seeing this one and thourughly examining it in detail, I ordered on for my granddaughter and her family. I'm looking forward to some long distance matches with her. If you are on the fence about buying this set rest assured its a beautiful set and board. It's set up to be very portable, take it to the park or to a friend's house or for tournament play. It's a very good deal, buy it. Review: I kept this A&A quadruple weighted set and returned the Bobby Fischer triple weighted set - I purchased 2 different chess sets online because I couldn't decide which to order even after many days of studying the photos and reading all the reviews. It was intended for gift but I will be playing the game with the recipient in future, so I decided to see them both in person and keep the one I liked best. The two sets are: "A&A Tournament Chess Set/ 20"x20" Foldable Silicone Chess Board / 3.75" King Height Plastic Quadruple Weighted Classic Staunton Pieces/Storage Bag for 6 Years Old - 2 Players" with ASIN B09W8ZY7ST and "Bobby Fischer Ultimate Chess Pieces Set, Staunton Plastic Tournament Chess Set -Extra Queens, Triple Weighted" with ASIN B07C2HPMQ5 Seeing them in person made it an easy decision for me and I kept the A&A set & returned the Bobby Fischer set because there were only 2 things I liked better with the BF set and at least 9 things I liked better with the A & A set. WEIGHT: The main thing I liked better on the Bobby Fischer set was that it was noticeably heavier & the weight was exactly as it said on the box (each set of pieces registered at 1.8 lbs (sometimes jumping to 2.0 lbs depending where I positioned it) on my digital scale & both black and white pieces together was 3.8 lbs. The A&A pieces only weighed 1.4 lbs each color(sometimes measuring 1.2 depending how I positioned it) or 2.6 lbs for both black & white pieces combined. Even though the A&A set claims to be "quadruple weighted" it actually was lighter than the "triple weighted" BF pieces. KING: The other thing I liked better about the Bobby Fischer set was the top of the king flared out a bit more on top & was therefore easier to grasp to move the piece. But neither of these things were enough to convince me that the Bobby Fischer set was the better set because I liked the cross on top of the king better on the A&A set- as well as all the other pieces! VISUAL APPEARANCE: The A & A set was more visually appealing in multiple ways. SEAMS: There were no visible seams in the A&A set where the plastic was joined together but I could see all the seams in the Bobby Fischer set, both on the sides of the pieces as well as looking down on top of the pieces (which was particularly noticeable looking down on the top of the king) ROOK: The A&A rook was MUCH better designed & visually appealing both from the side as well as looking down on the top. The BF rook only has 5 slots in the top but the A&A has 6 which are additionally wider "spaces" (not just a "slit") and can be seen better (more pronounced) especially from the top, but also look nicer from the side. Initially before seeing them in person I thought I'd prefer the BF rook because it appeared to have a taller top in the online photos (and indeed it does) but when I saw them in person I realized how much nicer the A&A rook actually was. The BF rook is just too huge on the top and the design can be more easily appreciated from both side & top view on the A&A rook. KNIGHT: Again, no contest here. The A&A knight was not only much better looking and more detailed (the mane, the mouth, etc) but it was easier to grasp & move. It also did not come with scuffs on it. SCUFFS: One of the BF knights came with many little scuffs on it (from hitting the other pieces in transit) which I couldn't rub off so I thought that over time, this plastic was more easily scuffed up and in years to come all the pieces would look worse than the other set. COLOR: The color of the A&A set was a tiny bit darker & I preferred it. SHINE: The BF set was too shiny and reflected some glare from a nearby window. The A&A set was much nicer to look at from all angles. PAWNS: The tops of the BF pawns are exaggerated but I couldn't decide whether it was easier to grasp & move them compared to the other set (I had read in other reviews it was) but after trying out both sets and moving the pieces, I decided the A&A pawns not only looked better (more a traditional set) but that I did not have a problem moving them. BISHOPS: When I saw the A&A bishops online I thought I wouldn't like how they appeared in person with the exaggerated slot at the top. But the BF set has an exaggerated bulb with a tiny slit. I decided I do prefer the larger slit at the top of the A&A bishop and that it is easier for my brain to tell its a bishop more quickly. QUEEN: The BF queen had sharper points on top which I didn't like and also a very pronounced and much taller round knob on top center. KING: I liked the cross on top better on the A&A set (found it visually more attractive) FELT: The felt on the BF set covered the entire bottom so that on some pieces it slightly overcovered (if not positioned perfectly) & could be seen from above while playing. The felt on the A&A set was a much smaller diameter than the bottom of the piece so it does not cover the entire piece (and therefore could not be seen even if mispositioned) DIAMETERS of bottom of pieces. When comparing the bottoms of the 2 sets back to back, the BF set had noticeably larger diameters on bottom (and therefore took up more of the spaces on the playing board) TIPPING: I tried to tip both sets and no piece in either set is easily tipped. So they are both great sets and would take a lot to tip over any piece in either brand. WINNER: I kept the A&A quadruple weighted set and returned the Bobby Fischer set. I only based my decision on the pieces themselves; I did not care about the case, bags, board, instructions, etc, because I figured I could get those from separate companies, and so the "extras" included with the A&A set did not influence my decision on which set to keep. So it is surprising to me that the set I preferred is not only 10 dollars cheaper but also includes nice storage bags & carrying case (as well as silicone board, which may not be used since I plan to get a nice wooden board and maybe even getting the mousepad-like flexible board mentioned in another review) ## Features - The A&A chess set comes in standard tournament size and includes a 20" * 20" (2.25" squares) silicone chess board, a set of quadruple weighted pieces: classic King height 3.75" Staunton style with bonus extra double queen, two drawstring storage bag and a zippered traveling case. - You can always trust A&A's premium quality, our pieces are exquisitely crafted with a smooth surface; the felt pad on the bottom of the pieces also reduces friction making them suitable for use in rapid chess tournaments while being steady and resistant to tipping, equipped with a 20" silicone chessboard with notations for beginners or advanced players to use. Our MANUAL for use have basic rules for beginners and advanced skills for advanced players: including opening and defense, to meet your different needs. - A&A's silicone board is made of high-quality material that can be folded and squeezed at will without any wrinkles, so it can be easily stored; it does not shrink or wrinkle after washing and has no odor, making it suitable for use in any outdoor scene; two velvet drawstring bags not only keeps the pieces organized, but also prevents scratches. - The fully matte texture of the board brings comfort and the low-saturation colors not only allow the player to focus on the chess game, but also effectively relieve eye strain during playing. - We offer 12 months after-sales service for any problem: refund, replacement, or exchange, you can buy with confidence. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09W8ZY7ST | | Age Range Description | 6 Years Old | | Best Sellers Rank | #28,189 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #513 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Brand Name | A&A | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Off-white | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 2,137 Reviews | | Edition | Luxury Edition | | Educational Objective | Enhance strategic thinking and cognitive skills | | Game Mechanics | area control, strategy | | Genre | Strategy | | Included Components | 2 Velvet Bags for The Chess Pieces, 34 Chess Pieces Including 2 Extra Queens, Instructions, Silicone Chess Board, Storage Bag | | Item Dimensions | 20.08 x 20.08 x 0.04 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 20"L x 20"W | | Item Weight | 4.4 pounds | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Alex.H & Abel.C | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1009.510.02 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 years and up | | Material Type | Plastic, Silicone | | Minimum Age Recomendation | 72 | | Model Number | 1009.510.02 | | Number of Items | 34 | | Number of Packs | 2 | | Number of Players | 2 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Rulebook Availability | Printed Included | | Set Name | A&A Tournament Chess Set | | Size | 20 Inches | | Subject Character | Sport | | Supported Battery Types | No batteries required | | Theme | Sport | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Tournament Chess Set/ 20''x20'' Foldable Silicone Chess Board / 3.75'' King Height Plastic Quadruple Weighted Classic Staunton Pieces/Storage Bag - 2 Players - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81B3pqBCtuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Where is it made?** A: China. But don't buy the product its been months later and its still wrinkled. **Q: Is this set available with a green-squared board instead of black?** A: I am not sure. I suppose you can purchase a green roll-up board. Wooden boards usually come in black or a rose red color. I purchased several green roll-up boards from Amazon. **Q: Honestly, does the board wrinkle at all? Do you need to lay it flat for any amount of time?** A: It's not completely flat when you first lay it out, but it's not been an issue. The set is weighty-really helps it flatten pretty quickly. I tried two other sets and kept this one. I have not seen one that is really portable that holds a candle to this one in quality. **Q: how big is the carrying case?** A: Dear, thanks for your question, the size of our carrying case is: 7.5*27*21cm/3*10.6*8.3 inch. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautiful chess.

As a member of a chess club, I brought this set to our weekly meeting and set it up for play. The silicon chess board is truly amazing - it unfolds and lays totally flat on our wood table. A couple of sweeps with my palm and any 'folds' or 'wrinkles' disappear as if by magic. The other members immediately were impressed and complimented me on the set. The pieces themselves are a joy - each one is well crafted and has real 'heft' (gravitas, 'weight') to it. The styling of the pieces is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and makes each chess game joyous regardless of who wins the match. The set is rated as 'championship' size and that is accurately stated. A&A includes some 'packaging candy' (stickers) and the carrying case and black & white carry-bags with drawstrings make a real 'classy' touch. Topping it all off is a pair of extra queens (every pawn is a potential queen as A&A likes to say) for those thrilling end-game promotions! I have experienced many different chess sets, this one is not a toy, it is more an 'enthusiast' level set. The notations along the board edges make it easy to log each move if you so choose. If you love chess or want to impress a chess aficionado in your life, this set will be a hit, no question. The tactile 'feel' of each piece is remarkable, and appear to be made of a resin material for durability. The pawns have nice rounded tops with no seams or rough edges. The bishop styling is superb, and the knight artistry is stunning. Every aspect of this item is pleasing to the eyes and to your hands when making moves or capturing opponent's pieces. You can instantly tell what each of you have lost on the battlefield by casting your gaze aside to look at the captured pieces beside the board. Of all the things I have purchased from Amazon over the years, both little and large, this by far is in the top echelon and gets my strong buy recommendation. It will not disappoint, be it a personal acquisition or a gift for a friend or relative. ## Frequently Bought Together - A&A Tournament Chess Set/ 20''x20'' Foldable Silicone Chess Board / 3.75'' King Height Plastic Quadruple Weighted Classic Staunton Pieces/Storage Bag for 6 Years Old - 2 Players - Chess Armory Digital Chess Clock - Portable Timer with Tournament and Bonus Time Features - How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/448136059-tournament-chess-set-20x20-foldable-silicone-chess-board-3-75](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/448136059-tournament-chess-set-20x20-foldable-silicone-chess-board-3-75) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-30*
