Royal Chess Mall

The Knight is really carved to perfect reproduction as shown in Bobby Fischer's video clips of his Dubrovnik chess pieces. Excellent reproduction! Fast delivery and well protected package!

The purchase process was easy and importantly, the sales team on the What's App chat were responsive and happy to answer questions that I asked about quality assurance and checking pieces before packing and shipment. This was reassuring. So I finalised the transaction.
Five working days, eights days in total the pieces landed in my door step in Melbourne Australia. 👍
Initially I was a tad worried. The cardboard packaging was dented from being dropped in transit and customs had inspected the package … sometimes that can point to broken or scratched pieces. I need not have worried. The pieces were perfect… and that knight … it's actually glorious - beautiful. Quaint but somehow regal on its stand … my concern in photos became a highlight when in my hand.
While one of the more expensive sets that I have purchased - it is wonderful and I'm stoked.

I had these items in my bookmarks for several years. Finally decided to give myself an Xmas gift. Couldn't be more pleased. Board and pieces are beautiful. Pieces have that heft that is comforting to the hand and a dull thud as you place them on the board...provides a tactile and auditory sensation along with the visual beauty. Ordering was easy, shipping was quick - really, I got these faster than some of my stateside purchases. Packing was excellent. Even better was the Holiday discount that made my purchase more affordable. All around just a great purchase.

Fantastic game with very carefully crafted figures on a color-coordinated board. Thanks to elaborate packaging arrived in impeccable condition. So shopping really brings joy and is worth the money.

I received a damaged item, emailed as instructed with details. No one has got back to me. Customer service phone line does not have the option to leave a message.

Venía perfectamente empaquetado, ninguna pieza sufrio daño; el tablero venía intacto, (es un tablero muy pesado que venía bien envuelto en varias capas de protector). La caja de madera también traía su protección de igual forma no sufrió daño alguno. Todo de excelente calidad.

1933 Botvinnik Flohr-I Soviet Chess Set- Chess Pieces Only - Golden Rosewood - 3.6" King × 1

The Chess pieces are beautiful and elegant. The reason I purchased this set as an addition to my collection was mainly because the design of the bishops. I typically, as many of us, look at the design of the knights first, but in this case the bishops caught my attention. I love the knights of this set too; the design on both of these pieces pushed me to buy the set.
Beautiful craftsmanship and the color of the pieces as well as the wood flow on the dark knights is stunning.
The purchasing process was very straightforward. Shipping was fast, considering they shipped from India. I am a believer that high quality sets take time to arrive. Excellent packaging too!
The only thing I can say is that the knights are on the lighter side, they seem to weight less than other pieces (not ponds). And speaking of ponds, those do vary slightly in their weight among other ponds.
Overall a great set and addition to my collection!
Thank you.

Excellent price to craftsmanship ratio. The padauk wood is beautiful. Very minor flaws but expected when hand made. Accurate when described as triple weighted, they feel great to move around the board. I've read certain cuts of padauk can develop white oil "dust" over time but so far my pieces are as they were on arrival. I might pick up a nice little analysis board from here for my desk too!

The very heavy well crafted and really beautiful chess board fits perfectly to my Leuchard's Cook chess figures which I bought a couple of years ago. Any normal tournament board would simply not have been worthy to such an impressive chess figure set. The Leuchard's chess figures are the most impressive and beautiful classic Staunton chess figures that exist, in my opinion and required a chess board of 60mm square size minimum but one that would be as luxurious and beautiful as the chess figures but without too much sophisticated embellishments either. In order to be complaint with tournament conditions or players who still need notations I ordered the version with notations. Wonderful craftswork! The overall chess set is now so beautiful and so bombastic at the same time, but also proper for tournaments (this was important for me) that it gives you an extra joy whilst playing but also an extra portion of respect to play an official game with this now absolutely stunning and perfectly matching chess set. For me the absolute 10/10 in the scope of a luxury Staunton-tournament-valid chess set.

The designed lenght of the handles are completely useless as they are much too long making it impossible to carry the bag via the handles as the bag touches the ground constantly if you walk with the transport bag using the handles!

Therefore the transport bag is useless to walk with carrying your (my) expensive chessboard by the handles of the bag because if one does so it will ruin both the bag and chessboard inside the bag!

Great disappointment for me this purchase!

Best wishes

It is a remarkably beautiful chess set. It looks splendid and feels smooth to the touch, finely polished. The craftsmanship is elegant, being handmade, and the minor imperfections add to its uniqueness.
I requested specific requirements from the sellers for packaging and shipping, as it was an international delivery, and I wanted to ensure its condition. They complied with my request, and I would definitely purchase another set.

This is my second purchase and wont be my last. The chessmen are amazing and look great on my analysis board. The hand carved pieces add such a beautiful accent that turns heads at the coffee shop. Thanks Royal Chess Mall for such excellently carved pieces.

Piezas muy bien fabricadas y terminadas, peso correcto y cómodas para jugar. Tienen la base ancha y la altura es un poco inferior al estándar de casilla de 5 cm, buena relación para estudiar en casa.

The wooden chess pieces are more then what I expected. Great quality and I love the size, shape and style of them. Arrived quickly and packaged well.
The only thing I would like differently is if the felt bottom was a nicer quality. I may end up changing that myself.
But overall very happy.
Thank you for providing what you promised.

My previous experience with Royal Chess Mall was very satisfying. However, my most recent purchase was disappointing. The 21" Large Chess board - Golden Rosewood & Maple - 55 mm Square- Algebraic Notations was severely scratched an all corners and even the surface. In spite contacting Royal Chess Mall four days ago, I have received no response.

I ordered the chess pieces #19-4148 on *15/12/2022** and when I have received the order I found that there are imperfect 4 Knights of Model 215YW34. I email to you within 24 hours to claim for a replacement. You informed me that you would check and reply. That is a year ago and I wonder why it took you so long to check and reply.

Really impressive set, in my opinion best looking. Spent weeks deciding on what set to get, then finally where to get it. Royal Chess Mall had exactly what I wanted (French Chavet antique finish) and at a great price. Only saw one YouTube review to base my decision off of. Glad I did. Been using set everyday since I received it. Got quick too, from India to cali USA in one week exactly

I am familiar with the original Henri Chavet chess sets from seeing them in use at the 1979 Montreal Tournament of the Stars, which I personally attended, and in the 1995 World Chess Championship (Anand and Kasparov). I own a smaller original Chavet set with 3.5 inch kings. This Royal Chess Mall reproduction uses better quality wood than my genuine Chavet set and the workmanship is actually higher quality than my original Chavet set. It arrived at my Canadian address in only about one week after ordering. The conformity to the original design seems to be very high. The only slight comments are that the heads of the pawns are a little too fat, and the bases of the kings are slightly smaller than those of the Queen's. They should be exactly the same size. They should also be flatter in profile. But these are very small differences. The dark pieces are very nicely finished in a mat dark oxblood red-brown very close to the original, and actually nicer than the original in my opinion. The condistency of the wood turning and carving is very high, demonstrating excellent workmanship. The pieces are perfectly weighted - just enough but not too heavy, as a lot of modern sets are. I like this. So...this set is an excellent buy if you like the Chavet style pieces. Congratulation to the artisans who produced this set.
In photos the Royal Chess Mall pieces are on the left, with original Chavet pieces on the right. The original pieces are a smaller size, and a slightly different design.

I had ordered a beautiful set of pieces from Royal Chess Mall and they were absolutely perfect. Nicely weighted and substantial. I needed a board to go with them and found just the right one. The board arrived in a timely manner, was beautifully packaged, professionally wrapped, and in perfect condition. I am very pleased with my experience and would highly recommend them for all of your chess playing needs.

I really like the improved French lardy made by RCM. Have bought the Chavet, Durbvnik and their Prestige chess set but this one is my favourite.
They got the proportions bang on. A very accurate reproduction indeed.
The walnut staining looks stunning. Highly pleased with the outcome.

Excellent quality and great price. The shipping was fast and the pieces were all individually wrapped ensuring no damage.

Excellent quality of workmanship and materials, very good packaging. Nice feel and chunkiness of the board is a pleasure to hold and behold.

The soviet chess set delivered to me in due time. Very well constructed and makes a great gift for my chess loving brother.
