What’s the consensus? Do you think this set plays well in fast games? How will it hold up versus something like a Noj Dobrovnik or Chavet reproduction? Would love to hear opinions!

What set are you talking about?

Is it advertised somewhere?

Basically, every tournament set will be good enough. Cheap, expensive, wooden, plastic, name it. FIDE WC set must be ok for every type of game (duh...).

It's not such a stupid question. I certainly wouldn't take a nice wooden tournament set to play blitz in the park. In fact I wouldn't take anything that costs more than $40.

Best chess set for Blitz is the Ultimate set V3.
