Priced at $49.99, at time of review, is reasonable. There\u2019re really only two things that could have, in my opinion, made it better. Firstly, there\u2019s a struggle to pry out the pieces from the hard foam insert. I do understand it may loosen up over time, but will the pieces then eventually rattle around? I can\u2019t help to think there may have been a better option to secure the pieces inside the box for storage and more importantly travel. Perhaps looser inserts with some kind of hard cover with Velcro straps? Secondly the box hinges are kind of in the way and an eye sore when the board and pieces are set up, on display or and being played.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-1000x563.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-230x129.jpg 230w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/dkdivedude.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_20251128_101117_555-edited-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/48wE09w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overview \/ Selling Points Pros Cons Conclusion I do like this chess set a lot, and it looks and feels very nice.
