!st off sorry about the picture quality. Saw this set on ebay and decided to get it. It's a blend of 3 different sets. Bishops and Pawns from Ultimate Chess Pieces. Knights and King from Marshall set. Queen and Rook from Premiere set. The colors are a chocolate brown and buttermilk cream. For $36 you get the set, mouse pad board thick OG style, and bag with a Magnus logo. Same logo is molded on the base of the Kings. No extra queens which is a bummer. The Queen are a bit spikey but nothing a nail file couldn't take care of. The tops of the Rooks and Queens have rougher texture than the other pieces. I would say this set is double to borderline triple weighted. I mainly got the set because the colors of the set. Brown is the new Black and the buttermilk cream which looks somewhat close to the OG White pieces of the Ultimate Chess Pieces. Not a special set but one that will do fine for club and tournament play. It's no Ultimate Chess Pieces set but has better looking Knights in my opinion.
